Closing arguments in the trial of Kim Potter in the death of Daunte Wright are set to begin Monday, after the former Minnesota police officer took the stand in her own defense Friday. Potter, 49, shot Wright in April during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, a Minneapolis suburb.
Potter testified that she did not plan to use deadly force that day. She has said she planned to use her Taser.
"I was very distraught. I had just shot somebody and I had never done that," she said. "I didn't want to hurt anybody."
Another American who was arrested in the Turks and Caicos Islands for possessing ammunition was sentenced to time served and a $9,000 fine on Tuesday, local media reported. Tyler Wenrich was facing a potential mandatory minimum sentence of 12 years in prison for ammunition charges in the British territory.
