Daunte Wright killing – did ex-cop Potter intentionally shoot?
Former Minnesota police officer Kimberly Potter, who killed African-American Daunte Wright at a traffic stop in April and has since claimed to have mistaken her pistol for her taser, testified in court on Friday – quite emotionally. “It wasn’t easy, we tried to stop him from driving away. I remember yelling,” Taser, Taser, Taser “but nothing happened. And then I was told I had shot.” “After the driver told you they shot him. Do you remember what you said?” “I don’t know what I said.” Potter pleads not guilty. Your lawyers justify this with the mix-up of the two weapons. Second or third degree murder would mean 10 to 15 years in prison in Minnesota. According to previous investigations, Potter had stopped Wright’s car because his license plate had expired. Then they learned that Wright was under an arrest warrant for illegal gun possession. Wright refused to be arrested.
