Daunte Wright shooting: 9 jurors seated in trial of former police officer charged with manslaughter
Fox News
The jury selection process is moving relatively quickly in the trial of Kim Potter, a former suburban Minneapolis police officer who authorities say shot and killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright earlier this year when she said she mistook her gun for her taser.
Potter, who was a 26-year veteran police officer, allegedly shot and killed Wright on April 11 in Brooklyn Center, only about 10 miles away from where former Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin was on trial for the murder of George Floyd.
By comparison, the jury selection process in Chauvin's trial took more than two weeks.
Potter originally pulled over Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, because he had expired tags then attempted to arrest him for a warrant on a weapons violation.
