The jury weighing the case of the suburban Minneapolis police officer who shot and killed Black motorist Daunte Wright worked through its second day of deliberations Tuesday without any hint of progress they might have made.
The court reported no questions from the jury after jurors asked a single one on Monday, when they deliberated for about a half-day following closing arguments in the trial of former Brooklyn Center officer Kim Potter, who said she meant to use her Taser on Wright.
They're being sequestered during deliberations.
During closing arguments, prosecutors accused Potter of a “blunder of epic proportions” in Wright's death in an April 11 traffic stop - but said a mistake was no defense.
Potter's attorneys countered that Wright, who was attempting to get away from officers as they sought to handcuff him for an outstanding warrant on a weapons charge, “caused the whole incident.”
