Closing arguments began Monday morning in the trial of Kim Potter, a former Minnesota police officer who says she mistook her firearm for her Taser and accidentally killed Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man.
"The defendant will tell you Daunte Wright is somehow to blame for his own death. But make no mistake, we're here because of the defendant's actions, not Daunte Wright's," prosecutor Erin Eldridge said as the state began its closing argument.
Potter had 26 years of training in use of force with her firearm, 19 years of training on Taser use, including training on "weapon confusion," Eldridge said.
