A jury in Minnesota is deliberating the fate of former police officer Kim Potter, who is accused of killing Daunte Wright during a traffic stop in April in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.
Testimony wrapped up Friday and closing arguments were given Monday morning before the trial moved into the next phase.
Potter is charged with first-degree manslaughter and second-degree manslaughter for the fatal shooting of Wright, CNN reported.
She was heard on video yelling “Taser” repeatedly, but instead of grabbing the device, she grabbed her gun and fired it, hitting Wright.
Potter has pleaded not guilty.

The group of 14 is comprised of seven men and seven women make up the group. It is broken down to seven white men, four white women, two Asian women and one Black woman, CNN reported.
