MINNEAPOLIS – Defense attorneys for former Brooklyn Center police officer Kimberly Potter will try to convince a Hennepin County jury that a mistake is not a crime. They say her miscalculation when she shot Daunte Wright last April shouldn’t result in a prison sentence.
Potter’s trial begins at the end of this month. Attorney General Keith Ellison is charging her with first-degree manslaughter, meaning she is accused of recklessly causing Wright’s death. Prosecutors say Potter must be held accountable, mistake or not.
