Kim Potter Found Guilty

[Astrostar]

She wasn’t even accused of having done it intentionally. As she was about to fire, she even yelled “taser! Taser!” The proof is on body camera video, including the audio track. Together with the horror of realizing what she had just done (also with proof on body camera video and the audio track), of course the only reasonable evidence-based conclusion was that it was a mistake.

Not really; a lot of acting on her part, but no real tears!

Kim Potter Guilty On 2 Counts Of Manslaughter In Daunte Wright's Death

A jury of twelve has found Kim Potter, the former Brooklyn Center police officer who shot and killed Daunte Wright, guilty on counts of both first- and second-degree manslaughter.

minnesota.cbslocal.com

For those playing along at home, she was the the cop who shot Daunte Wright because she couldn't tell the difference between her gun and her taser.

This is a good thing.

What was Dante doing to cause the drawing of gun or taser?

This case was not clear cut, I feel bad for everyone concerned

For a conviction, the state had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Potter handled her firearm “recklessly” and showed culpable negligence in her actions that resulted in Wright’s death.

Seems pretty clear cut to me.

Give her the full 25 years to think it over.

He was driving his car away from her. Last time I checked that at the very least gets you a trial in the US, not an immediate death sentence and execution.

It was an accident. Good grief stop the hyperbole

Chauvin and Potter did the world favors.

Daunte Wright was 'an arch criminal' whose death at the hands of a white police officer in Minneapolis is being used to push 'false narratives', according to a lawyer representing the victims of two separate shootings the black man is accused of being involved in.

Attorney Michael Padden told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview that the 20-year-old was a 'very serious criminal' who should never have been out on the streets on April 11, the day he was shot dead.

Padden is representing two families who have filed separate lawsuits against Wright's estate that allege he was involved in the shooting of two men.


Daunte Wright, 20, was allegedly involved in two separate shooting incidents before he was killed by Minneapolis cop Kim Potter during an April traffic stop

• Two different lawsuits - obtained by DailyMail.com - were filed against Wright's estate alleging he was involved in the shooting of two men

• The latest, filed Tuesday, claims Wright was involved in a carjacking on March 21 that left the victim, Joshua Hodges, with a gunshot wound to his leg

• The suit claims the theft and shooting was perpetrated by Wright and an accomplice and, ‘need not and should not have happened'

• The second lawsuit, filed last month, alleges Wright shot Caleb Livingston in the head and left him permanently disabled outside a gas station in May 2019

• It says Livingston now continues to suffer ‘severe pain, disability, disfigurement, humiliation, embarrassment and grave emotional distress’

• Wright was not charged over either shooting incident

• Michael Padden, the attorney for the two shooting victims, told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview that Wright was a 'very serious criminal'

• Padden said Wright should never have been out on the streets on April 11, the day he was shot dead and hit out at 'false narratives' around his death

It’s also just – textbook example of manslaughter.

Wright was pretty reckless too, trying to drive off with an officer half in and half out of his car.

Hence manslaughter jurisprudence – one can be held responsible for the taking of a life, no matter how accidental or unintended, no matter how sad or tragic for those involved.

Like Baldwin?

He wasnt given the "luxury" of a trial though, now was he? Executed on the spot.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Outrageous!!!

Another example of America's racist justice system........

This post is another example of the racist right’s belief that Americans of color can be killed by white law enforcement with impunity.

Just remember it WAS manslaughter, right?

Well, sounds like a little angel....Someone who would do everything right.....

This is a real shame all around...

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Yeah...cops should be held to a higher standard. Good to see juries getting with the program.

The radical left's war on police

 

[john doe 101]

Just remember it WAS manslaughter, right?

She was found guilty on two counts.....the other being second-degree charge, for causing someone’s death through culpable negligence. Max combined is 25 years.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

It was an accident.

I can see a lesser murder charge but they have to charge her with something. It was a really big mistake.

The incident didn’t warrant a murder charge at all.

When someone dies the consequence of an accident or mistake, the person responsible is charged with manslaughter, and appropriately so.

 

[john doe 101]

The radical left's war on police

YOu dont think someone should have culpability for shooting someone with a gun instead of a taser even after they admitted they pulled the wrong weapon? You're fucking insane.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

What grounds they appeal it on

For conservatives, that the suspect was black and therefore a ‘thug’ – he was likely guilty of something, so his killing was justified.
