Kim Potter defense strategy in Daunte Wright case revealed in court documents
Fox News
Court documents made public Thursday lay out the potential defense strategy for former suburban Minneapolis police officer Kimberly Potter's November trial in the shooting death of Daunte Wright.
The former Brooklyn Center officer, who is White, has said she meant to use a Taser instead of a handgun during the April 11 traffic stop when she shot and killed the 20-year-old Black motorist.
Attorneys for Potter said they might argue that Wright's death – which sparked several nights of protests – was an innocent accident or innocent mistake and could argue that Potter’s "perceived use of a Taser was reasonable" and that there is a lack of causation, or that Wright is also partially to blame in his own death.
