MINNEAPOLIS — Police officers who stopped Daunte Wright were legally bound to arrest him after discovering a warrant for an outstanding weapons violation, a use-of-force expert testified Thursday as defense attorneys began making their case at Kim Potter's manslaughter trial.
Kim Potter's police chief at the time she shot and killed Daunte Wright testified in her defence at her manslaughter trial on Thursday, calling her 'a fine officer' and saying he 'saw no violation' of policy in her actions at the scene.

Tim Gannon resigned two days after the shooting of Daunte Wright, saying he believed he had to quit "because I would not immediately fire Kim Potter." Potter resigned the same day.
The state presented more than two dozen witnesses over six days, including a policing expert who testified Wednesday that Potter was not justified in using deadly force when she fatally shot Wright in April.
