Watch Live: MN v. Kim Potter Trial Day 8 - Charge Conference

Live Coverage: Former Cop Kim Potter Trial - Death of Daunte Wright Happening In Court, Defense Case: Dr. Laurence Miller - Police Psychologist On The Stand! - Kim Potter - Defendant Charge Conference Info ON Blakely Factor: The discussion was over the Blakely Factors. Blakely is when the prosecution wants an enhanced (greater) sentence than the normal sentencing guidelines. There are TWO Blakely factors submitted by the state: 1- Defendant posed greater than normal dangers to other people as she fired into the vehicle 2 - Potter abused her position of authority as a license police officer in full uniform. State says defense agreed to have a unitary trial, meaning the jury would also hear about the Blakely factors. Defense said they never agreed to that and they want a ifurcated trial. Judge grants that. This means: Bifurcated means to separate this issue from the guilt phase and the JUDGE will decide on the Blakely factors when/if there is a conviction and will solely be up to a judge to determine if the sentence will be enhanced. MOTIONS: Potter prosecutors filed two motions today after the problematic testimony from Mychal Johnson on Friday. 1 - Motion to keep defense from eliciting expert testimony from non-experts. (remember Johnson testified deadly force would have been justified) 2- Motion to permit State to elicit testimony related to union membership (Potter was Union president at one time) for the purpose of establishing possible bias in various law enforcement witnesses Charges: Note: Both prosecutors and defense agree the shooting was an accident but prosecutors say her actions were criminally negligent. * First-degree manslaughter (added in Sept.) - “recklessly” used a firearm - causing Wright’s death. - Up to 15 yrs in prison - In Minnesota, a person can be convicted of first-degree manslaughter if they cause the death of another while also committing a misdemeanor â€" in this case, reckless handling of a firearm. * Second-degree manslaughter - requires that prosecutors prove only that the defendant acted with culpable negligence as the defendant consciously took actions that created an unreasonable risk of causing death or great bodily harm. - Up to 10 yrs in prison Former police officer Kimberly Ann Potter, 49, stands trial for killing Daunte Wright, 20, in a disastrous traffic stop. Potter’s attorney has also said that she will testify. You can watch jury selection in the player above. Opening statements are scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 8. There is no dispute that Potter fired her gun. The question is whether Potter’s actions constitute first and second-degree manslaughter under Minnesota law. As seen on body cam video from April 11, 2021, officers with the Brooklyn Center Public Department pulled over Wright for a traffic stop. Officer Anthony Luckey began to handcuff him against the driver’s side of the car. He suggested Wright was about to resist. #DaunteWright #KimPotter READ THE FULL STORY HERE:https://lawandcrime.com/live-trials/live-trials-current/kim-potter/watch-live-former-cop-kim-potter-jury-selection-in-daunte-wright-death/ Watch Lawu0026Crime Network NOW on YouTubeTV! https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/?utm_servlet=produ0026zipcode=99202 OTHER WAYS TO WATCH LAWu0026CRIME NETWORK IN YOUR AREA: https://lawandcrime.com/where-to-watch/ READ MORE GREAT ARTICLES FROM LAWu0026CRIME NETWORK HERE: https://lawandcrime.com SUBSCRIBE TO ALL OF Lawu0026Crime Network YouTube Channels: Main Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz8K1occVvDTYDfFo7N5EZw Channel B: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVXOqoOCYbi-iXChKAl6DTQ Channel C: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXCLaaClAWQiTkl3pw9ZdLw Channel D https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMV3pzWIhJGLYzoHyxBjjNw Who To Follow On Twitter: @LawCrimeNetwork @LawCrimeVerdict @Cathy Russon @AddiTrialsStuff
