Navy Ren Fest baw has been passed by the defense... prosecutor has no strikes to get rid of this guy so he will now try his damnedest to somehow get the potential juror dismissed with cause

confirmation that a jury has been seated... just waiting for it to happen on Rekieta's playback stream

quote:

The Associated Press @AP
A jury has been seated for the trial of a former Minnesota police officer who claims she mixed up her gun and Taser when she shot and killed a Black motorist. Kim Potter is charged with first- and second-degree manslaughter in Daunte Wright’s death. apne.ws/45inKIs

hold up... defense attorney's name is actually Earl Gray

I thought they were just making fun of him by giving him that moniker... but that's actually his name

judge has been telling the jurors that the trial will start on Wednesday

there will be a motions hearing on Monday, off day Tuesday should everything be settled Monday, trial begins Wednesday

ETA: and that's the end of today's court proceedings

I don't know that I can watch another trial with these prosecutors. If this is anything like what they did in the Chauvin trial it will be nothing but pleas to emotion.

This prosecutor is already stretching the truth here. She displayed the police policy about using a firearm against a vehicle and she only read one of the reasons it can be used. Also just said that "mere flight...is not a good use for using a taser" leaving out the portion stating "without other factors..." It's ridiculous. Potter is most likely guilty of something, she killed a person whether by accident or not, but the state stretching these policies like this makes me want her to be found not guilty.

Rekieta goes to bathroom break... leaving Legal Bytes all alone with the chat

she says hi to the chat... and it goes about as you'd expect if it was filled with OTers

Officer Luckey was "restraining the gear shift" to keep the deceased from driving off... and if the deceased is able to get the car into gear... he would be able to drive away with an officer dangling out of the car... potentially doing harm or even causing the death of Officer Luckey

ETA: defense's opening in the opening statement... trying to show that force was needed
