An Ongoing Travesty of Injustice, Moderately Mitigated: Kim Potter to Serve 14 Months
Yesterday was the sentencing of Kimberly Potter over the shooting death of Duante Wright. This was the “Taser! Taser! Taser!” shooting in which then-Police Officer Potter mistakenly drew her Glock 17 pistol instead of her intended Taser and shot and killed Duante Wright as he violently fought lawful arrest against three officers wrestling with him as attempting to speed off in his car. A jury misinformed on the relevant law would find Potter guilty of manslaughter as charged.
Ultimately, Judge Regina Chu sentenced Potter to an effective 14 months in prison, where she will be kept largely isolated from the general prison population. Potter was facing a guideline sentence of some 7 years, which could have been greatly extended if Judge Chu had sought to apply the aggravating factors sought by the State prosecutors.
Enjoy this extensive discussion and analysis of the sentencing. BONUS: Joined for part of the show by Attorney Kurt of @UncivilLaw
