  "account": "Rosemary Gamble, the owner of the jumping castle involved in the Hillcrest Primary School tragedy, testified in a coronial inquest that being found not guilty of a criminal charge related to the incident did not bring her comfort or closure. The tragedy, which occurred on December 16, 2021, resulted in the deaths of six children and three others with serious injuries. Gamble, who operated the business Taz-Zorb and owned the jumping castle, was not guilty of failing in her work health and safety duty over the incident. During the inquest, Gamble expressed that the impact on her life is nothing compared to the suffering of the families and children affected by the tragedy. She also stated that the not guilty verdict did not bring her any closure or comfort. The inquest, expected to adjourn until February, will continue with further evidence from retired Tasmania Police Detective Inspector Kim Steven, who was present during the incident.",
  "summary": "The owner of the jumping castle at the centre of the Hillcrest Primary School tragedy says the impact it has had on her life \"doesn't seem important\" compared to what families have experienced.",
