The jury weighing manslaughter charges against the White former Minnesota police officer who said she mistook her firearm for her Taser and fatally shot Daunte Wright will enter its fourth day of deliberations Thursday.
The jurors have deliberated about 24 hours in the trial of Kim Potter for the fatal shooting of the 20-year-old Black man in April, sending the court a note midway through the process asking what they should do if they can't reach a verdict.
Judge Regina Chu told prospective jurors during jury selection earlier this month that if the proceedings were not finished by Christmas Eve, they would resume Monday, December 27. The jury is sequestered.
