This case because heres a part of her cross examination. listen to this. >> you didnt make sure any officers knew what you had just done, right? >> no. >> you didnt run down the street and try to save daunte wrights life, did you? >> no. >> you were focused on what you had done because you had just killed somebody. >> im sorry it happened. im sorry. >> i mean, the prosecutor was able to point out her mistakes, but she also got very emotional and expressed remorse, the sorrow. and then is, again,...

And two, this whole emotional testimony that she gave, i think that the defense is hoping for what we know to be jury nullification where jurors say, yes, the facts are there. the law is there. theres enough there to find someone guilty, but we dont -- you know, we dont want to do it. we dont want to do it because maybe we feel sorry for her. maybe shes already expressed some remorse. jury nullification is a big issue in this case. then we heard the defense argue that daunte wright caused his ow...

Be taken off kim potters gun so they could hold it outside the evidence box. of course its been rendered safe. they likely want to feel the difference between kim potters weapon and her taser, though prosecutors did say because the gun is unloaded its probably not going to match the weight of what kim potter felt in april of this year, but of course its important because potter has claimed she mistook her taser for her gun when she shot and killed daunte wright during that traffic stop back in a...

To reach a decision. and laura, if theyre not, thats a decision too. it just means that a jury wasnt able to reach a verdict because this was a really close and a really difficult case. >> i wonder if the jury will agree with you that though those werent crocodile tears. the benefit of the doubt that is extended to police officers and the idea of the reason why theyre able to have the weapons and the ability to arrest and stop is because there is an elevated expectation that they can rise to the...

You have a white defendant whos been charged with killing an unarmed black man, so that he would get up and make that statement was pretty offensive. but not surprising. i do have some problems with the way the defense presented its case. i think they were trying to play on the jurys sympathies and cause them to, you know, feel sorry for kim potter. and what we do know, kim potter said immediately after she shot daunte wright, im going to jail. to the extent she was emotional, we know she was em...

Prosecutors have argued that the mere fact she intended -- or she says she intended to grab her taser shows that even she didnt think this was a scenario that required lethal force. the defense has argued that if daunte wright had just complied, none of this would have happened. but of course that is the central issue in this trial, and what it seems like the jury is having trouble getting to a consensus on. >> omar, so much more to look at and of course im wondering about that sort of da ma cle...

Daunte wright, but it was zip tied to a box marking it as evidence. they asked for the zip ties to be removed from it for a matter of time. thats something prosecutors wanted to to, feel the gun, look at the differences between the gun can the taser. the judge granted them that request and gave them a procedure on how they could have access to it. one thing from the pool report, the pool reporters, the two in the room didnt notice any signals the jury was sending, there was no exhaustion or look...

Three. first the case of kim potter, charged with the shooting death of daunte wright in april. there is questions on if that jury could be at an impasse. and also the ghislaine maxwell sex trafficking trial. what do you clean from that question as a former prosecutor? how would you feel about a question like that? >> yeah, i can almost hear the drone. the only good thing is they didnt seem pressed. it seemed like a casual question, but it is not usually a question you want to hear. time is the ...

Vanguard. when our daughter and her kids moved in with us... our bargain detergent couldnt keep up. turns out its mostly water. so, we switched back to tide. one wash, stains are gone. [daughter] slurping dont pay for water. pay for clean. its got to be tide. this afternoon, jurors are continuing to deliberate in the case of former minnesota police officer kim potter. it is the third day of deliberations after the jury asked the judge what to do if they cannot reach a verdict. potter faces man...

Its the gun potter used the day she shot and killed daunte wright. they wanted to know if the zip ties securing that weapon could be removed. the answer was yes. you might remember, if you listened closely during closing arguments on monday, the prosecutor said jurors would have the opportunity to hold and feel that gun as well as the taser. kate. >> adrienne, thank you for that update. coming up for us, enrollment through obamacare is booming. a breakdown of the record high new numbers just c...
