Stiffest charge sticks for ex-officer who shot Daunte Wright

Former Minneapolis police officer Kim Potter has lost her bid to shed a first-degree manslaughter charge in the shooting death of Daunte Wright earlier this year.

Potter had previously been charged only with second-degree manslaughter for killing the 20-year-old Black man during a traffic stop on April 11, alleging she’d mistaken her weapon for a taser.
