'Outcome reached' in trial of Kim Potter, ex-officer charged in Daunte Wright's death

A Minneapolis jury reached an "outcome" on Thursday in the trial of Kim Potter, a former police officer charged with fatally shooting Daunte Wright, a Black motorist — accidentally, she's claimed, by grabbing her gun instead of a Taser.

Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu is expected to reveal the outcome — reached by a panel of two Asian Americans, one Black person and nine white people — between 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. CST.

I'm a betting woman so I'm going to go ahead and say hung jury. I doubt they will re try her.

12. She was found guilty.

Some people seem to think the DoJ is a second shot at people.

Is there ANY evidence this is s Civil Rights related crime? Any? Or just a criminally negligent cop?

8. It was a taped confession. "I killed him, I'm going to prison" but you are right she will walk.

She has a twin in OK, maybe some of you will remember the Betty Shelby trial? Same deal, pulled a gun instead of a taser. Shelby has been promoted to training new recruits on how to handle people who resist arrest. No kidding.

Hung jury seems likely.

Edit: And we have a surprising verdict. Guilty! Fantastic!

9. The question they asked the court was a huge tell.

I have no idea how she confused her gun for a taser, but as her defense attorney said, mistakes happen. 🤦‍♀️

They are asking she be remanded into custody immediately. 😲 She's pissed.

Not guilty of 1st, guilty on 2nd degree

I have no guess on the sentencing

20. I thought she would have shown more emotion, given her testimony.

But maybe she was resigned to reality.

I had to leave home briefly before the judge ruled — what was the reason for remanding her into custody immediately?

than anyone else. I didn't see any remorse from Potter. She looked angry

22. Thanks.

I did hear the defense’s arguments, and they sounded pretty standard to me.

Her whole reaction, honestly, surprised me after her display on the stand the other day. She just looked — well, hard.

If I had bet on that. it would have been a bet I wouldn’t have minded losing.
