The Kim Potter Trial
Discussion
Can't see a thread on this...
Quite an interesting trial, despite it appearing cut and shut.
Kim potter is the officer who mistakenly shot Durante Wright during a traffic stop as he resisted arrest and tried to drive off.
She meant to taser him, but grabbed her gun instead.
IMHO, she is guilty of manslaughter.

Personally I think guilty of nothing and will be found not guilty.
If were any doubt the prosecution are calling irrelevant witnesses in the hope they can bore or confuse the jury into a guilty verdict.
Yet another American trial where the *prosecution* witnesses make the defence case and where everyone agrees on the facts so the charges depend on an interpretation of the law itself which should not be in the jury's domain....
EDIT: Guilty of nothing *criminal* obvs. Clearly there are going to be massive compensation claims over negligence and she's quite rightly resigned from her job.

The prosecution are interminable. No-one disagrees she shot the guy, so all of this seems hugely pointless testimony.If were any doubt the prosecution are calling irrelevant witnesses in the hope they can bore or confuse the jury into a guilty verdict.

Yep, dozens of witnesses who didn't see anything are blatantly aimed at trying to generate an emotional response in the jury to the aftermath.I had to chuckle at the girl who turned up stoned and basically couldn't say too much about their 'relationship' or her burner phone for reasons we cannot possibly ever guess.
Also comedic that when he called his mum after he'd been pulled over the first thing she said was "Oh so there's a warrant out for your arrest?". First guess.

Ah yes, the girlfriend who didn't have 2 rocks to bang together in her head?I had to chuckle at the girl who turned up stoned and basically couldn't say too much about their 'relationship' or her burner phone for reasons we cannot possibly ever guess.
State objected to the scale, which was part of the evidence collected?
Seriously? After all that pointless guff the state had testify?
We know it's hollow point. We know she shot him. We know it's state supplied ammo. Yes, it's destructive ammo.
My god, these lawyers.
Ironically, in the Rittenhouse trial the state made point that KR used full metal jacket rounds, rather than hollow point, and how dangerous THOSE rounds are.

You'd plea guilty rather than sit through this.
When she broke down after the shooting I thought it was the shock and guilt of shooting someone. It's slowly dawning on me that she was just anticipating the tedium of a prosecution without a case aimlessly filling time. No wonder they took her gun away for fear of suicide. Yes it was an accident, bordering on negligence IMO, finding it hard to understand that she still thought
she was holding a taser even with a real gun in her hands, in her eyeline, as she was hollering repeatedly
" i've got a taser "
I do wonder that women are not cut out for day-to-day, on the street law enforcement.
Like that female officer recently who shot a black guy dead, in his own apartment, she'd opened the wrong door, fer eff sake.
