Ex-cop Kimberly Potter sentenced to 2 years in Daunte Wright killing

A Minnesota judge on Friday sentenced former police officer Kimberly Potter to two years in the fatal shooting of Black motorist Daunte Wright during a traffic stop, a lighter sentence than the roughly seven years in prison sought by prosecutors.

Potter, 49 - who mistook her handgun for her taser in firing on Wright, 20, as he resisted officers who pulled him over in a Minneapolis suburb last April - was found guilty by a jury in December of first-degree and second-degree manslaughter.
