Trying a political prisoner
Posted on 12/17/21 at 2:06 pm to KosmoCramer
Charges:
COUNT I
First-degree manslaughter
One of the ways Minnesota law defines first-degree manslaughter is causing someone’s death while committing or attempting to commit a lesser crime — a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor — in a way that a reasonable person could foresee would cause death or great bodily harm.
Specifically, prosecutors accuse Ms. Potter of causing Mr. Wright’s death through reckless handling or use of a firearm.
First-degree manslaughter is a felony, punishable by up to 15 years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to $30,000. The standard sentence for someone without a criminal record, like Ms. Potter, would be about seven years.
COUNT II
Second-degree manslaughter
One of the ways Minnesota law defines second-degree manslaughter is causing someone’s death through culpable negligence, by creating an unreasonable risk and consciously taking chances of causing death or great bodily harm.
Prosecutors accuse Ms. Potter of doing so while using a firearm.
Second-degree manslaughter is a felony, punishable by up to 10 years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to $20,000. The standard sentence for a person without any previous convictions would be about four years.

She won't go to prison.
It's was an accident.
Not to mention, she's suffered enough.
I did some reading regarding "slip and catch" last night since that was one of the experts today and the last 2 people to use this argument were both convicted. The other 2 were men though and, right or wrong, women are viewed differently so I think the state made a huge error in how hard they went after her. I think a civil judgement against her, and the loss of her job, is punishment enough.

She is likely judgment proof, no? Why not just go after the city for wrongful death and get the bag? The City will settle out of court to make it go away.

The thing that has jumped out at me during this trial is that perhaps we shouldn’t hire police officers and give them weapons based on their sexual organs.
Affirmative action should be on trial.

Right outside Minneapolis still in Hennepin County... some local politicians will be there happily announcing the settlement, smiling & giddy, with the family

Superseding cause kept in jury instructions over prosecution objection
Posted on 12/17/21 at 2:41 pm to rt3
The State really screwed themselves by having their woke expert talk about it not even being reasonable to use the taser in this situation.

Joe just said that the Maxwell trial is basically over. 
Get your bets in now boys -- guilty or not guilty?

Yeah he said closing is Monday in the Maxwell case and the jury is expected to get the case the same day as well

I wonder who will handle the closing arguments for the defense; Eng or Gray?
Maybe Eng right?
Earl is my hero, but does he have that kind of demeanor/delivery for closing?

How quick will the jury come back? Most certainly a NG verdict imo.

I dont think she had any complaints or any issues in her career. she made a mistake, but the mistake was due to a piece of shite causing trouble. If I were in charge I would give her a medal and a promotion.

It's the Minneapolis metro... sadly I'm not 100% convinced this jury comes back not guilty
The evidence should easily show not guilty... and a jury definitely would in moments in our portion of the country
But we're not here... we're in the Minneapolis metro little more than a year & a half after the Chauvin incident riots

So... right after the prosecution has finished its closing argument is a weird time to discuss some wording in the jury instructions
Posted on 12/20/21 at 10:49 am to rt3
Does anyone have a guess or opinion on who handles closing for the defense?
Posted on 12/20/21 at 10:52 am to Badface
Looks like it's Earl. sweet
