Prosecutors are expected to wrap up their case Thursday against the Minnesota police officer charged in Daunte Wright’s death.
In this screen grab taken from video, Arbuey Wright, father of Daunte Wright testifies, as Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu presides over court Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2021, in the trial of former Brooklyn Center police Officer Kim Potter in the April 11, 2021, death of Daunte Wright, at the Hennepin County Courthouse in Minneapolis.
Her attorneys have also argued that Potter would have been within her rights to use deadly force because a fellow officer was endangered by Wright's attempt to flee. During Wednesday's testimony, use-of-force expert Seth Stoughton testified for the prosecution that Potter acted unreasonably in shooting Wright.
Stoughton said deadly force would have been inappropriate even if Potter believed another officer was in the car because of the risk that nearby officers or Wright’s passenger could get shot.
