Episode description
An emotional judge Regina Chu sentenced former Minnesota police officer Kim Potter to two years in the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright. Potter has said she mistakenly drew her gun instead of her Taser when she fatally shot Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, during a traffic stop in April 2021. Chu strayed far from the sentencing guidelines, handing down a significantly less harsh sentence than the 15-year maximum Wright's family had asked for.
