In Minneapolis, a judge has sentenced former police officer Kim Potter to two years in prison for the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright during a minor traffic stop last April. Potter was convicted of manslaughter in December. The judge in the case said Potter made a “tragic mistake” when she shot Wright, a 20-year-old Black man. Potter claimed she meant to deploy her Taser. Daunte’s mother Katie Wright spoke after the sentence was announced on Friday.

Katie Wright: “Kim Potter murdered my son, and he died April 11th. Today the justice system murdered him all over again. To sit there and watch, pouring my heart out in my victim impact statement, that took so long to write, and I reread it over and over again, to not get a response out of the judge at all, but then when it came down convicting — or, to sentencing Kim Potter, she broke out in tears. So, once again, we are standing here to say that we’re very disappointed in the outcome. … This is the problem with our justice system today: White woman tears trumps — trumps — justice.”
