Kim Potter released from prison after serving time for killing Daunte Wright.

Former Minnesota cop Kim Potter was released from prison after serving 16 months of a two-year sentence for fatally shooting Daunte Wright during a 2021 traffic stop. Potter, who claimed she had confused her gun with her Taser, was convicted of second-degree manslaughter. The deadly shooting led to a new round of nationwide protests against police brutality and racism. Potter apologized directly to Daunte’s grieving mom at her sentencing last year.
