Kim Potter (Hennepin Co. Sheriff)
MINNEAPOLIS – News organizations are making a fresh plea to the judge overseeing the case of a former Minnesota police officer charged with the death of Daunte Wright.
They’re asking her to allow live video coverage of former Brooklyn Center Officer Kim Potter’s trial because of the continuing threat of COVID-19 and the strong public interest. Judge Regina Chu has barred live streaming the trial, which starts Nov. 30. But a media coalition has asked the judge to reconsider.
They say COVID cases have spiked. And they say the resulting limitations apparently will mean the total exclusion of the public and all but a few members of the media.
