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.'
