Minnesota officer who fatally shot Daunte Wright freed
"The former Minnesota police officer who said she mistook her gun for a taser when she shot and killed Dante Wright in 2021, was released from prison today. The Minnesota department of correction, says Kim Potter was released out of an abundance of caution for her safety when convicted in 2022 she was given a two year sentence and had this to say. The family of doctor, right? I am so sorry. And then I brought the death of your son. Potter's two year sentence drew strong criticism from Wright's family and their attorney. She served 16 months under Minnesota law of those sent to prison, typically served two thirds of their sentence behind bars, and the remaining time on supervised release. I'm Julie Walker

Ex-Cop Who Killed Daunte Wright Hit With 16 Months Behind Bars
"Remember Kim Potter, this is the policewoman who accidentally shot. Daunte Wright. And you might remember from the video the tragic scene, he has Dante Wright, he's trying to get away and Kim Potter is trying to restrain him. She goes for her taser. And we know this because she even shouts on the camera footage. I'll tase you taser taser and then boom. She fires a single round and then she realizes she got her gun instead and daunte Wright collapses and then Kim Potter bawling collapses herself on the curb. So this is, I mean, it's horrific. It's a certain kind of negligence. I mean, you have to be trained to tell the difference between a taser and a gun. But at the same time, this was unquestionably an accident. And an accident by definition is not a crime, but nevertheless, Dante Wright being black. I think if he had been white a whole different story, but since he was black, suddenly it became, you got to prosecute or you got to charge her and sure enough she's charged with first degree manslaughter, which is a crime. And the jury in a kind of charged political environment goes ahead and finds her guilty. Both actually are for us to agree on second degree. Manslaughter and now Kim Potter comes up before a judge chew. This is Regina Chu for sentencing. And something really kind of remarkable happens. The prosecution is going for a 7 year sentence. In prison. Wow. 7 years sentence for an accidental shooting. And daunte Wright's family is, you know, piling on, they're like, yo, she should get the maximum sentence. She's not remorseful. And so they were there talking about how it was the worst day of their life, and of course I understand their loss. And Kim Potter does, because at the sentencing Kim Potter breaks down and she says to she says to daunte Wright, she says that the family of daunte Wright, I'm so sorry. I brought the death of your son, father, brother, uncle grandson, nephew, and then she says to the mom, Katie, I understand her mother's love. I'm sorry I broke your heart, my heart is broken for all of you. And this was so moving in the courtroom that the judge began to cry. This is judge Regina Chu and the judge basically says, come on, quote she never intended to hurt anyone, her conduct cries out for a sentence. Significantly below the guidelines. And so what does Kim Potter get? 16 months. And she's quite likely to be out in half of that.

What Kim Potter Did Was an Accident, Not What Daunte Wright Did
"Remember Kim Potter police officer who had a stellar record Senior police officer she even trained other police officers On how to be police officers Remember what we saw in her body cam Remember we saw a guy by the name of Dante Wright Who did threatening things to her gets out of the car and while they're trying to handcuff him jumps back into the car she fears trying to reach for a weapon A real Legitimate interfere because Dante write had an outstanding warrant for a violent assault on somebody else In a long record did Dante write and he was a very young man and long record of using a gun to threaten people And to hit people in my view just a matter of time till somebody would get killed in this case it was thought they right And so we saw in real time how Kim Potter accidentally pulled her service revolver and shot Dante right as he jumped into the car reaching for something And she was prosecuted She was prosecuted They wanted to throw her in prison The mob the legal mob other mob members wanted to throw her in prison It's clearly an accident But all the things that Dante Wright did was not an accident They were not an accident

"Coming up on 5 minute news. Kim Potter found guilty of manslaughter in Dante Wright's death. Texas withdraws part and recommendation for George Floyd. And Donald Trump asks Supreme Court to block release of January 6th records. It's Friday. December 24. I'm Anthony Davis. A suburban Minneapolis police officer who said she confused her handgun for her taser was convicted of manslaughter on Thursday in the death of Dante Wright, prompting tears from the young black man's parents and a jubilant celebration by supporters outside the courthouse, who chanted guilty, guilty, guilty. The mostly white jury deliberated for about 27 hours over four days before finding former Brooklyn center officer Kim Potter guilty of first degree and second degree manslaughter. 49 year old Potter faces about 7 years in prison on the most serious count under the state sentencing guidelines, but prosecutors said they would seek a longer term. Judge Regina Chu ordered Potter taken into custody and held without bail and scheduled her to be sentenced on February 18. Outside the courthouse dozens of people who had gathered erupted in cheers, hugs and tears of joy as the verdicts were read. They chanted say his name Dante Wright some held yellow signs that said guilty in large block letters. Potter, who testified that she didn't want to hurt anybody, looked down without showing any visible reaction when the verdicts were read. As chew thanked the jury, Potter made the sign of the cross. Potter's attorneys argued against her being held without bail, saying she wasn't going to commit another crime or go anywhere. It was the second high profile conviction of a police officer won this year by a team led by Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison. Outside the courthouse afterward, Ellison said the verdict brought a measure of accountability for Potter, but fell short of justice. A Texas board that had unanimously supported a posthumous pardon for George Floyd over a 2004 drug arrest in Houston backpedaled in an announcement on Thursday, saying procedural errors were found in their recommendation months after leaving the decision to Republican governor Greg Abbott. The unusual reversal was announced by Abbott's office two days before Christmas, around the time he typically doles out his annual pardons. The withdrawn endorsement was met with outrage from a public defender who submitted the pardon application for Floyd, who spent much of his life in Houston before his death in 2020 under the knee of a white Minneapolis police officer. Allison Mathis an attorney in Houston accused the two term governor of playing politics ahead of Texas march GOP primary elections as he faces challenges from the far right. Floyd's name was withdrawn along with two dozen other clemency recommendations that had been submitted by the Texas board of pardon and paroles. In a letter dated December 16, but not released publicly until now, the board told Abbott that it had identified unexplained departures from its process of issuing pardons and needed to reconsider more than a third of the 67 clemency recommendations it's sent to Abbott this year, including the one for Floyd. Mathis called the last minute reversal, a ridiculous farce. She said the board which is stocked with abbot appointees did not make her aware of any issues prior to the announcement from the governor's office. Floyd grew up and was laid to rest in Houston. In June, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison for Floyd's murder, which led to a national reckoning in the U.S. over race and policing. Pardons restore the rights of the convicted and forgive them in the eyes of the law. But in Floyd's case, his family and supporters said a posthumous pardon in Texas would show a commitment to accountability. Former president Donald Trump turned to the Supreme Court on Thursday in a last ditch effort to keep documents away from the House committee, investigating the January 6th insurrection at the capital led by his supporters. Trump's attorneys asked the Supreme Court to reverse lower court rulings against the former president, who was fought to block the records, even after president Joe Biden waved executive privilege over them. The federal appeals court in Washington previously ruled the committee had a uniquely vital interest in the documents, and Trump had provided no basis for it to override Biden and Congress. The records include presidential diaries, visitor logs, speech drafts, handwritten notes concerning the events of January 6th, from the files of former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and a draft executive order on the topic of election integrity, according to a previous court filing from the national archives. Trump's filing came on the day that an administrative injunction issued by the appeals court was set to otherwise expire. That injunction preventing the release of records will remain in place for now. Lawyers for the House committee asked the Supreme Court later on Thursday to expedite its processes and consider the case as soon as mid January. Former presidents had a clear right to protect their confidential records from premature dissemination Trump's lawyers said. Meanwhile, the House committee has said the records are vital to its investigation into the run up of the deadly insurrection aimed at overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election. Before and after the riot, Trump promoted false theories about election fraud, when he lost to Joe Biden in an election certified by officials from both parties as fair.

Kim Potter Trial: Minneapolis Jury Finds Ex-Police Officer Guilty in Death of Daunte Wright
"This trial against this former police officer, Kim Potter. Who shot and killed a suspect, in Minnesota, he was resisting a dress arrest, drove away in his car, she said and the supervisor at the scene said that they feared that the suspect would drive away with the police officer. And the supervising officer, on the scene, said that she would have been justified in using deadly force, let alone the taser. The only reason I believe it got this much coverage is because the suspect is black. Officer's white. Had been the other way around nobody would have given a dam, had it been a white officer, white suspect, nobody would have given a damn. And zero evidence to support any inkling that whatever Kim Potter did had to do with Dante Wright's race. Yet many newspapers referred to the officer as white, suspect is black. And when the officer was found guilty of two charges, there was cheers outside the courtroom, as if it was some sort of political rally. Clearly a lot of people felt that the reason this happened is because Dante Wright is black, and the cop is white.

Kim Potter Found Guilty in Daunte Wright Shooting
"Let me just spend a moment and talk about the conviction of the former police officer in Minnesota named Kim Potter. I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the trial. This is the trial of the officer who mistook her. Taser for a gun or took a mistook her gun for a taser. And shot and killed a man named Dante where I tell you why I didn't follow it very much. Because I knew that the only reason the media gave a damn about this is because the suspect is black, and the cop is white. Had this been a white suspect? Who resisted arrest? And got in a car and drove away. And one of the witnesses at the scene, the officer supervising officer said that this suspect could have driven him away in the car, and that she, the cop on trial, would have been justified in using deadly force, let alone a taser. Obviously, the state had an expert witness. By the way, the same expert witnesses testified in the Derek Chauvin trial, who said that she was not justified in using the taser, let alone deadly force. And again, you changed the race of this and nobody gives a damn. It's supposed to have been a black cop. Who mistook his gun for a taser. And shot a white suspect, would CNN give a rip with MSNBC or give a rip?

"NPR and WBUR I'm Tanya Mosley along with Celeste headley This is here and now Guilty on both counts That is what a jury found today in the manslaughter trial of Kim Potter Potter is the white former Brooklyn center Minnesota police officer who must mistook her taser for a gun during a traffic stop back in April killing 20 year old Dante Wright who is black Here's judge Regina Chu reading out the first verdict On the charge of manslaughter in the first degree while committing a misdemeanor on or about April 1120 21 it had a mentality state of Minnesota find the defendant guilty The shooting death happened while another former police officer in Minnesota Derek Chauvin was on trial for killing George Floyd Rick Petrie is a former criminal defense attorney who is now a professor at Mitchell Hamlin's law school in Minneapolis and Rick the jury deliberated for more than 25 hours earlier this week They asked the judge how long they should deliberate if they could not reach a consensus Are you surprised by today's outcome Frankly a little bit surprised There's a compelling testimony in terms of the emotion of miss Potter when she testified and sometimes even though it's really not supposed to carry the day Sometimes that emotion can swing a jury but I think if you look at it legally and you look at the facts and they arrived at just verdicts Her lawyer said that this was an accident also that she thought her fellow officers were in danger Do you think the jury reached the right conclusion Yeah you know they raised that argument I was frankly I was a little surprised in their opening statements when they took such a hard position with regard to her fellow officers being in that much danger obviously at that point in time they had seen a lot more of the evidence that I had but as the trial unfolded it seemed like that argument was a bit shaky They really had to lead witnesses in order to get that testimony in And then I think if you couple that with her statements immediately after they just didn't seem to fit together So I think it was a clever argument to make but I don't know that it was supported by the evidence You know during the trial jurors wanted to see her hold her gun and her taser what did that tell you Well I think it suggests that they wanted to actually experience what the difference would be in holding the firearm compared to what they would experience in holding the taser It sounds like they reached a verdict on the lower charge the manslaughter two charge a couple of days ago on Tuesday but then they were still going back and forth on the manslaughter one charge until they reached the verdict today So I think that they just wanted to experience it for themselves to see what the difference in weight and feel of each of those weapons was like What are your big picture takeaways from today You know it really seems to mark a shift in public sentiment in terms of holding police officers accountable when black men are killed That is not what we have seen historically Frankly police officers were rarely even charged let alone convicted but it seems that there's a big shift now in the public just saying hey enough is enough my other hopeful take away from this is that police agencies across the country will go back and rethink the way that policing is done and also rethink that the way that police officers are trained in the support that they get They have a very difficult job There's no doubt about that And oftentimes just being honest I'm not sure that they get the support that they need in order to carry out that difficult job Rick Petrie is a former criminal defense attorney who is now a professor at mitchel Hamlin law school in Minneapolis and we will receive the sentence for Potter in January Thank you Thank you As COVID-19 cases surge around the country driven by the oma cron variant we do have some good news Tuna drugs have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration both shown to reduce serious illness hospitalization and death among high risk patients So what's the difference between these pills and what are the treatments are available as we head into the gasp 30 year of the pandemic Let's bring in doctor Angela Rasmussen She's a virologist at the vaccine and infectious disease organization at the university of Saskatchewan Doctor Rasmussen welcome back Thanks for having me Celeste It's good to have you with us because I'm sure like many people I have a lot of questions Yesterday's authorization for the Pfizer pill called pax levied shows it will be available to infected adults and kids 12 and older who have medical conditions how significant is the approval of this drug Well I think this really couldn't come a moment too soon Now that we have the omicron variant spreading widely throughout the U.S. that means that a lot of people including people who are vaccinated may potentially be coming down with severe COVID-19 So with absolutely crucial that we have other options for treating those patients should they end up becoming severely ill due to the result of a Macron If people can get the pill of course we've read that the government has initially ordered enough pills for about 10 million people and by one calculation that would be enough to last a single day if half the people who've tested positive got it Do you have high hopes for delivery to the patients that need it So that really is the downside to this Unfortunately I don't know that we will have the supplies to be able to provide this pill as widely as would be desirable to all the people who are potentially at risk Right now we're looking at extremely steep case trajectories meaning that we are seeing a lot of increasing cases in a very short period of time And both of the drugs from Pfizer and Merck seem to work best when they're given very early after you identify that you have been infected They have to be given within the first 5 days after diagnosis or symptom onset Otherwise they really don't work very well So it's going to be really really critical to find the patients that are the most at risk to make sure that they can get the limited supplies of these drugs It also is going to be really really important to make sure that people have access to testing so that they can be diagnosed as soon as possible But it is a real problem that supplies will unfortunately lag on into the new year and potentially we won't be able to provide this drug to all the people that need it until after the omicron wave has passed Yeah that's the problem That's a lot of ifs there Do they get a test Do they get.

policing people can die in this case dead But they are mistakes This was clearly a mistake Manslaughter Guilty on mentor I mean I can't imagine if you're a police officer listening today He's got a wife and two kids who goes to work I mean you think this was criminal with this woman You got listen it's a jury verdict I respect the process I always do But the process involves an appeal too and I mean she must have the most incompetent defense attorneys I have ever said how can you possibly have your client be convicted on a manslaughter charge and a case where the woman clearly clearly and his stress response says taser It's on video She was clearly not trying to kill Dante right Well Dan that's wasn't convicted of murders convicted of manslaughter It doesn't matter You're still not only alleging but convicting her beyond the reasonable doubt of criminal intent of criminality Beyond any reasonable doubt that's insane That's crazy I really can't believe what I'm watching I just have to imagine putting myself in the remember when in the head of a police officer today When I was a police officer there were there were no cell phone cameras If they were they were in their infancy I mean it wasn't even a thing Now every single interaction you have you'll have for 20 years You're going to be involved with people in the worst days of their lives That's what you do The police don't show up to have a house party with you or any of that stuff The police show up because there's some allegation of criminality and emergency situation or a situation where someone needs help You're showing up on the worst days of people's lives in the highest stress redline scenarios 9000 RPMs for 25 plus years you're doing that And you're expecting these people not to make mistakes I'm not arguing that the mistake in this case didn't have a tragic outcome But manslaughter beyond the reasonable doubt you don't think the fact that she said clearly and loudly as she's trained to do taser taser that she meant to taste this individual and not shoot him what would lead you to believe beyond a reasonable doubt that her activities were so negligent that they were criminal in a high stress scenario like that Again if you missed it the former police officer Kim Potter found guilty on all charges I just thought I am stunned Jim and I were both This is now the third high profile verdict We've been through in the last few months And the second that's happened why we've been on the air And I got to tell you although I wasn't surprised at all with the written House of verdict there was no case against Kyle right now and I expected an acquittal there I expected an acquittal here too Ladies and gentlemen this is a tragic case but this is clearly a civil case This is not a criminal case It's not a criminal case I've been there You do a lot of things when you're a police officer You don't even remember afterwards You're in such a high stress situation I mean I remember responding to a domestic incident in east New York Brooklyn and one of my first days in an RMP a car but this guy George I was a young rookie and you know we responded to a domestic with this guyanese guy and his wife had called and he hits me with an ironing board Not like over my head it was the ironing board was up like they were ironing so many He grabbed the ironing board like you would kind of hug it and he swung it and buckled me at the hip and jumped on me as I fell on the couch Thank God my partner was there and got him off but I got to tell you after that thing was over I mean your heart rate's elevated It's probably beaten it I was young back then probably a 160 beats a minute You get tunnel vision I can tell you I don't remember much about that entire incident other than C in my partner at the time Get his PR 24 night stick and grab under the guy's arm to get him off me use it like a lever Like under his armpit but I don't remember much I can't do that I don't even remember what happened afterwards I know he called it ten 85 which is that officer needs assistance in New York in the NYPD But I remember anything about it.
