Minnesota prosecutors are dropping calls for killer cop Kim Potter, who is white, to be given a longer-than-usual sentence for killing a black man, opting for a seven-year prison stretch instead.
The jury was given a chance to hold both Potter s taser and handgun - which she claims she mistook for her taser - to feel for differences. This was reportedly a turning point in her conviction.
Katie Bryant, Daunte Wright s mother, told CNN s New Day that former cop Kim Potter s guilty verdicts are a victory and bring accountability, but not justice, to her son.
Kim Potter s defense team has slammed the case against her as a confusing mess and asked for the trial be to be halted with a judgment of acquittal at the start of the seventh day of testimony.
Brooklyn Center Police Department Sgt Mike Peterson told jurors in Kim Potter s trial that mistakes happen in policing and described the former cop as peaceful and law-abiding.
