The family of Daunte Wright is speaking out on the conviction of Kim Potter. As previously reported a jury found the former Brooklyn Center officer GUILTY of first-degree manslaughter and second-degree manslaughter for fatally shooting Wright during a traffic-stop-turned-arrest on April 11, 2021. Jurors deliberated over the course of four days and for nearly 27 hours. The maximum sentence for first-degree manslaughter is 15 years and a $30,000 fine, and for second-degree manslaughter, it's 10 years and a $20,000 fine.
Kim Potter is going home unlike Daunte Wright, the Black motorist she said she meant to tase to stop his fleeing but "accidentally" grabbed her gun and shot instead who now won't get justice. NewsOne reports that a jury found Potter not guilty on all charges. As previously reported Potter was charged with first and second-degree manslaughter over Wright’s death. In order to have her convicted, prosecutors had to prove she acted with recklessness or culpable negligence when she defied years of training and mixed up the weapons.
