C\"\"MINNEAPOLIS (AP)\u00a0 (FOX News<\/a>)\u00a0 \u2014 Jurors have convicted a suburban Minneapolis police officer of first-degree and second-degree manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Black motorist Daunte Wright. The jury deliberated for about four days before finding Kim Potter guilty of both counts on Thursday. Potter, who is white, was a Brooklyn Center police officer when she shot and killed the 20-year-old Wright during an April 11 traffic stop. Potter has said she mistook her handgun for a Taser while she and other officers were trying to arrest Wright on an outstanding warrant for a weapons possession charge. She faces about seven years in prison on the most serious count under the state\u2019s sentencing guidelines, but prosecutors said they\u2019d seek a longer term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 The jury has reached an \u201coutcome\u201d in the manslaughter trial of the suburban Minneapolis police officer who killed Black motorist Daunte Wright after she says she mistook her gun for her Taser during a traffic stop. The jury announced it reached an outcome in Kim Potter\u2019s manslaughter trial on Thursday. A court spokesman says he doesn’t know if reaching an outcome means it reached a verdict. The jury began deliberating on Monday. State sentencing guidelines call for a maximum term of just over seven years in prison for a first-degree manslaughter conviction and four years in prison for a second-degree manslaughter conviction, but prosecutors have said they plan to push for longer sentences for the former Brooklyn Center officer.<\/p>\n

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 The jury at suburban Minneapolis police officer Kim Potter\u2019s manslaughter trial for the killing of Black motorist Daunte Wright\u00a0 completed its third day, Wednesday,\u00a0 of deliberations without reaching a verdict. The jury weighing the white former Brooklyn Center officer\u2019s fate broke at around 6 p.m. Wednesday. Unlike the first two days, jurors had no questions for Judge Regina Chu. On Tuesday, they asked Chu what they should do if they couldn\u2019t agree on verdicts. She told them they should continue deliberating. Potter is charged with two counts of manslaughter in the killing of Wright during an April 11 traffic stop. She has said she meant to use her Taser on Wright but used her gun instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
