Conway Wickliffe, 41, was killed when the vehicle from which he was filming struck a tree during a test run for an action scene in "The Dark Knight," starring Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger. The father-of-two suffered severe head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene at an industrial site in southern England. Jurors at Guildford Crown Court took less than two hours to find special effects supervisor Christopher Corbould, 53, not guilty of failing to ensure his safety, the Press Association reported. Their decision was unanimous. Corbould, who won an Oscar last month for the special effects in Hollywood blockbuster "Inception," looked relieved and could be heard to breathe a sigh of relief as jurors returned their verdict. "The Dark Knight" was a global box office hit, generating just over $1 billion in ticket sales and earning Ledger, who played The Joker, a posthumous Oscar. Bale portrayed Batman. Ledger died in New York in 2008 of an accidental prescription drug overdose, aged 28.
