Kim Potter , the former Minnesota police officer convicted of killing Daunte Wright , is delivering law enforcement presentations for profit following her release from prison , WCCO News reports.
Wright was killed on April 11, 2021, after he was pulled over for expired license tags just miles from where George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis. While attempting to arrest Wright, Potter claimed she mistakenly drew her firearm instead of her stun gun.
Potter was convicted of first-degree and second-degree manslaughter in Wright’s killing. She was sentenced to two years in prison but released after serving 16 months.
Following her release, Potter connected with Imran Ali , the former prosecutor who charged her case. Ali said he resigned as co-counsel in the case against Potter because “vitriol” and “partisan politics” made it hard to pursue justice. He now serves as a law enforcement consultant, working to help police departments implement changes that could prevent officers from making mistakes similar to Potter’s.
