Jury Finds Former Minnesota Officer Kim Potter Guilty of Manslaughter in Daunte Wright Shooting Death

Jurors found former Minnesota police officer Kim Potter guilty of two counts of manslaughter in the fatal shooting death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright.

The outcome comes after jurors deliberated for more than 27 hours.

Wright was shot and killed by Potter after being pulled over for an expired tag and an illegal air freshener. During the stop, officers learned the 20-year-old had an outstanding warrant and attempted to arrest him, however, Wright pulled away and tried to drive off.
Potter, 49, claimed she mistook her firearm for her Taser when she fatally shot Wright during the April traffic stop.
Video of the incident shows Potter yelling “Taser” repeatedly before she shot Wright with her handgun. She then can be heard saying, “Holy sh*t! I just shot him!” She added: “I grabbed the wrong f**king gun, and I shot him.” Days after the shooting, Potter resigned from the police force.
She later was charged with first-degree and second-degree manslaughter in the killing of Wright and pleaded not guilty.
