The jury has reached an outcome in the manslaughter trial of Kim Potter, the white former Minnesota police officer who killed Black motorist Daunte Wright. The court did not immediately say whether the outcome is a verdict.
In August, Chu ruled that the jury would be sequestered during deliberations — meaning jurors would remain under the court’s supervision in an undisclosed hotel and couldn’t return home until they reached a verdict or she determined they couldn’t reach one.
Chu would have to un-sequester them over the holiday weekend — likely with very strict rules — and then sequester them again on Monday. Mike Brandt, another Minneapolis attorney following the case, agreed that having the jury work over Christmas would be “devastating.” But he said he sees a problem with breaking the jury’s sequester because it goes against what sequestration is all about.
“This case fits smack dab into that. … The whole idea of sequestration is they don’t want these jurors to get outside influences,” Brandt said.prosecutors accused Potter of a “blunder of epic proportions” in Wright’s death during an April 11 traffic stop, but they said making a mistake was no defense.
