The jury has begun deliberating in the manslaughter trial of the former suburban Minneapolis police officer who killed 20-year-old motorist Daunte Wright after she says she mistook her gun for her Taser.
Kim Potter’s case went to the jury today (Mon) following closing arguments and instruction from Judge Regina Chu.
Potter resigned from Brooklyn Center’s police force after shooting and killing Wright, as she and other officers were trying to arrest him on an outstanding warrant during an April traffic stop.
The prosecutor told jurors during closing arguments that the shooting was “entirely preventable.”
Potter’s attorney said she made a mistake and it was not a crime.
