Kim Potter, ex-Minnesota officer who killed Daunte Wright, to be released from prison.
TL;DR
Kim Potter, the former Minnesota police officer who fatally shot Black motorist Daunte Wright in 2021, will be released from prison after serving 16 months of her two-year sentence for first and second-degree manslaughter. Potter claimed she mistakenly drew her handgun instead of her Taser in the shooting that sparked national uproar and protests. Wright's death came just a year after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and Potter's sentence was significantly less than what prosecutors had pushed for.
