MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Prosecutors and attorneys for the suburban Minneapolis police officer charged in Daunte Wright’s shooting death have seated two more jurors for her trial, including a woman who said she owns a handgun and a stun gun. Kim Potter, who is white, is charged with manslaughter in the April 11 shooting of Wright, a 20-year-old Black motorist, following a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center. The two jurors chosen Wednesday included the stun gun owner, who said she carries it for personal protection, and another woman who said she thought protests against police in the Minneapolis area have had a negative effect because of property damage. Attorneys and the judge have been questioning potential jurors closely for their views on such matters.
