MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The jury at the manslaughter trial of the suburban Minneapolis police officer who shot and killed Black motorist Daunte Wright has returned for a fourth day of deliberations as the Christmas holiday looms. The jury weighing Kim Potter’s fate has been out 2 1/2 days, or about 23 hours, since getting the case Monday following closing arguments. Deliberations resumed Thursday morning. Potter is charged with two counts of manslaughter in the killing of Wright during an April 11 traffic stop. She has said she meant to use her Taser on Wright but used her gun instead. A court spokesman says if deliberations aren’t finished Thursday, jurors will be allowed to return home for the holiday weekend and return Monday.
