For Immediate release-March 27, 2012 

Statement from Carson Helicopters regarding today's jury verdict:

"Carson Helicopters is gratified that the full facts in this accident have finally been placed in front of an impartial jury.  It has been Carson's continuing belief after a thorough investigation that the physical evidence strongly showed that the primary cause of this accident was a power loss due to contamination in the engine fuel control, and now an impartial jury has unanimously reached the same conclusion.  It is satisfying for the pilots, their families and the families of all the victims that all of the evidence was considered in this case, instead of selected facts chosen to achieve a predetermined result. 

Carson Helicopters keeps the families of the victims of this accident foremost in its thoughts and prayers, and hopes this brings some light and closure to this terrible accident."
