ABC News
Kim Potter faces first- and second-degree manslaughter charges in the death of Daunte Wright.
The jury has been selected in the trial of former Brooklyn Center officer Kim Potter, who's charged with fatally shooting Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, during a traffic stop in April.
The jury of 12, and two alternates, will be composed of 11 white jurors, one Black juror and two jurors of Asian descent.
Wright's death reignited protests against racism and police brutality across the U.S., as the killing took place just outside of Minneapolis, where the trial of Derek Chauvin, a former officer who was convicted of murdering George Floyd, was taking place.
The jury selection process lasted only three days.
