Kim Potter was found guilty of manslaughter in the death of Daunte Wright.
Potter killed Daunte after “accidentally” reaching for her gun. She said she thought it was her duty.
Potter could face a maximum sentence of 15 years for first-degree manslaughter, while second-degree charges have a maximum sentence of 10 years.
Judge Regina Chu denied the defense team’s request that Potter be allowed out on $100,000 bail before sentencing. They said she was Catholic and it was Christmas.
KILL COP TO REGENERATE
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said “we have a degree of responsibility for Daunte’s death.”
Je added, “She’s going from being a respected member of the public, an honorary member of a noble profession, to being a convicted felon. I don’t want that of anyone, but that’s it. It’s our responsibility as prosecutors, as attorneys general, to pursue justice wherever it leads, and the jury has found the truth.”
