Instructor at Troubled Skydiving Spot Gets 2 Years After Faking Credentials
Briefly

Robert Pooley, 49, received a two-year prison sentence for wire fraud after using another instructor's credentials to train tandem skydivers.
The Skydive Lodi facility has faced scrutiny due to over two dozen deaths since 1985. In 2016, two jumpers' deaths heightened that scrutiny.
Francine Turner, mother of deceased jumper Tyler Turner, expressed her belief that Robert Pooley played a role in her son’s death, highlighting a perceived need for accountability.
Mr. Pooley's lawyers stated that the court clarified he was not found legally responsible for the deaths of the two students, Yong Kwon and Tyler Turner.
