The world's attention is focusing on Darwin as celebrity croc catcher and Outback Wrangler host Matt Wright's criminal court case finally got underway on Tuesday.
Fourteen jurors were chosen from a huge jury pool of more than 400 people during the selection process at the Northern Territory Supreme Court in Darwin.
The large jury pool was required due to Wright's popularity in the NT and the dozens of witnesses with close community ties expected to appear.
Wright arrived at court in a crisp white shirt and wearing a rarely-seen tie, hand in hand with his model wife Kaia, accompanied by his legal team and a supporter
The trial, which relates to the fatal helicopter crash that claimed the life of Wright's Netflix co-star Chris 'Willow' Wilson during a 2022 crocodile egg-harvesting mission, is expected to last up to five weeks.
