Fox News
Jury selection begins Tuesday in the trial of Kim Potter, a former suburban Minneapolis cop who allegedly shot and killed Daunte Wright when she mistook her taser for her handgun during an attempted arrest in April.
Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, was pulled over by Potter and the officer she was training, Anthony Luckey, because his car had expired license plate tabs and an air freshener was hanging from the rearview mirror, according to a criminal complaint.
Luckey then found that Wright had an outstanding warrant for a weapons violation and attempted to arrest him. Wright initially obeyed orders to get out of the car, but tried to get back in as he was being handcuffed.
