MINNESOTA, Dec 22 ― The jury asked a question yesterday that suggested a possible deadlock in the trial of Kimberly Potter, the former Minnesota police officer who mistook her handgun for her Taser and fatally shot Black motorist Daunte Wright during a traffic stop.
Chu re-read an instruction encouraging the 12-member jury to discuss the case “with a view toward reaching an agreement” and told the panel to continue deliberations, which started on Monday afternoon and have so far lasted more than 13 hours. The jury also asked for permission to remove the zip-ties securing Potter's 9 mm handgun, the weapon she fired at Wright, so that they could handle it. Chu granted the request while reassuring the jury that it was not loaded.
In their closing arguments on Monday morning, prosecutors said Potter acted recklessly and with “culpable negligence” in drawing the wrong weapon, while the defence argued that Wright caused his own death by resisting arrest and attempting to flee, and that Potter was justified in using force.
