MINNEAPOLIS — The jury in the manslaughter case of former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter has reached a trial outcome. The outcome is scheduled to be read in court between 1:30-2 p.m. central time.
Patch will update this story when the outcome is read in court. You can also watch a livestream of the outcome when it is read in court.
Potter, 49, was charged with first and second-degree manslaughter charges in the fatal April 11 shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright during a traffic stop.
The jury was sent to deliberate a verdict at 12:45 p.m. Monday after the state prosecution team and Potter’s defense team gave their closing statements.

If convicted of the first-degree manslaughter count, Potter faces up to 15 years in prison. If convicted of just the second-degree count, she faces up to 10 years in prison.
If convicted of both counts, Potter’s sentences will run concurrently. In other words, she would still only serve a maximum of 15 years in prison.
Below are the excerpts of Minnesota law that are applicable in this case.
609.20 (2) MANSLAUGHTER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.
609.205 (1) MANSLAUGHTER IN THE SECOND DEGREE.
In her own testimony Friday, Potter said she meant to grab and use her Taser instead of her gun when she shot and killed Daunte Wright during a traffic stop April 11.
While on the side of the road and outside of Wright’s vehicle, Potter and field officer Anthony Lucky told Wright that he had a warrant and was being arrested. Potter watched as Lucky tried to handcuff Wright, who tensed up.
“We were trying to keep him from driving away. It just went chaotic,” Potter, crying, told her defense attorney while on the stand. “I remember yelling, ‘Taser, Taser, Taser,’ and nothing happened. And then he told me I shot him.”
Potter cried again while state prosecutor Erin Eldridge played moments of Potter’s graphic body camera footage during cross-examination and grilled her actions. The full video shows how Potter apparently mistook her gun for a Taser and fired a deadly shot into Wright.
“You knew that deadly force was unreasonable,” Eldridge said.
“I didn’t want to hurt anybody,” Potter cried.
“You know the difference between left and right, don’t you?” Eldridge asked, before ending her cross-examination.
After her testimony, the defense rested its case and the state prosecution team declined to call any rebuttal witnesses.
Potter resigned the day after the shooting. She and her husband sold their home in the northwest metro area and no longer live in Minnesota.
Criminal complaint
Just before 2 p.m. on April 11, Brooklyn Center police officer Anthony Luckey and his field training officer, Potter, pulled over a white Buick at 63rd Avenue North and Orchard Avenue North in Brooklyn Center, according to the criminal complaint.
Luckey checked Wright’s identification and found that he had a warrant for a gross misdemeanor weapons charge. Luckey and Potter approached the driver’s side of the car and asked Wright to get out and place his hands behind his back.
