Kim Potter’s lawyer has come under fire for shifting blame for the former Minneapolis police officer’s shooting of Daunte Wright onto the victim and saying she will be harmed by prison time during her sentencing hearing.
Defence attorney Paul Engh gave a lengthy statement to convince the judge that Potter should only be sentenced to probation for killing Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, when she apparently mistook her gun for a taser during a traffic stop in April 2021.
