Imran Ali, the Minnesota prosecutor who was co-counsel in the case against former police officer Kim Potter over the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright, reportedly resigned on Monday (May 24).
According to CBS Minnesota, the assistant criminal division chief at the Washington County Attorney’s Office claims “vitriol” and “partisan politics” have made it difficult to pursue justice.
The move comes just days after it was announced that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison would be taking over the prosecution of Potter.
According to CBS Minnesota, the case was previously being handled by the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, which asked Ellison to take it on.
