Jurors at Kim Potter's trial see Daunte Wright shooting aftermath
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Prosecutors at a former Minnesota police officer's trial in the shooting of Daunte Wright played extensive video of the aftermath, showing jurors images of officers pulling him from his car and attempting lifesaving measures.
Thursday's testimony at Kim Potter's manslaughter trial began with tearful testimony from Wright's passenger and girlfriend, recounting her screams and how Wright "was just gasping" after he was shot.
A stream of police officers and emergency medical workers followed her to the stand for much of the day, eventually prompting Potter attorney Paul Engh to seek a mistrial on the grounds that the state was presenting evidence irrelevant to her guilt or innocence, and instead was showing evidence consisting of "sordid pictures and prejudicial impact."
A pool report described jurors' reactions to body-camera footage showing officers working on Wright, with one juror looking away and shaking her head and another with his hand over his mouth as he watched.
