Closing Arguments
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 "bifurcated" 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 - 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.

that judge should make an asmr channel
Noticed that today. Her tapes could be played in prisons to keep peace and quiet.

I was just thinking this. I would love listening to her do ASMR!!!
@@moocowcow4744 me too! Lol
Yessss. Soothing voice.
Looking forward to your updates!!
The Minneapolis judge who presided over killer cop Kim Potter's trial showed mercy to an 18-year-old with 'a lengthy juvenile delinquency history involving assault and weapons offenses' by freeing him to attend a funeral - only for the teen to go on the lam.
Watching cross examination where Potter switched paper from Right hand to LEFT hand just prior drawing Weapon difficult to believe it was accidental. Lead believe intentional draw of deadly force.
ts interesting, training or lack of it, is responsible in this case for what happened, A series of air craft crashes occurred in europe, it was found that eastern european pilots previous training on russian built aircrafts now flying western a/c, artificial horizons caused crashes in difficult situations, because as on western built aircraft the artificial horizon works in reverse and the situation caused them to revert to their training, making it worse and deadly
Before Kim Potter testified I was convinced she was not guilty of manslaughter or culpable negligence. Then she testified and if I were an empaneled juror I’d find her guilty on all charges.
because u dont use reason.
@@holdontight1981 That's fair. Her guilt was apparent from the other evidence and testimony already - her performance on the stand just served to show that she knows she's guilty.

To be completely honest, I feel like she's hands down guilty. I've done my own homework on this case and this is what I believe. She knew that she was holding her firearm because she's not a rookie lol the Taser is way lighter and different in color. Furthermore, she was already telling the rookie cop to watch him with a horrible attitude. Her demeanor wasn't good. Then she freaks out saying that she's going to prison (I believe just showing off for the body cam) come on people wake up she's guilty then she takes the stand and fake cries? You've got to be kidding me lol they will indeed come back with a GUILTY VERDICT mark my words!

Judge is incompetent and should be removed from the bench. Karma is coming her way.
She was a wonderful judge. Totally impartial no matter what fringe mobs wanted. You left wing violent tyrannical lunatics need your own karma. I’d be careful about wishing it on someone else. Believe it or not, outside of your confirmation bias, you’re the one in the wrong.
Sorry judge…You were weak. Those jurors ARE NOT “heros!”
