Kim Potter, ex-Minnesota officer who killed Daunte Wright, to be released from prison.

Kim Potter, the former Minnesota police officer who fatally shot Black motorist Daunte Wright in 2021, will be released from prison after serving 16 months of her two-year sentence for first and second-degree manslaughter. Potter claimed she mistakenly drew her handgun instead of her Taser in the shooting that sparked national uproar and protests. Wright's death came just a year after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and Potter's sentence was significantly less than what prosecutors had pushed for.
