Police taser expert in Kim Potter trial is 3rd prosecution witness to testify that Daunte Wright’s fatal shooting was an error not a criminal act

A Taser expert testifying for the prosecution in Kim Potter’s trial has told jurors in the that, ‘mistakes happen’ in policing and described the former cop as ‘peaceful and law-abiding.’

Brooklyn Center Police Department Sgt Mike Peterson was giving testimony at the start of day six in the high-profile trial as defense attorney Paul Engh stepped up to cross examine the witness who began his testimony yesterday.

On Tuesday jurors in Minneapolis’s Hennepin County District Court heard about BCPD police department’s taser training at such length under direct examination by Assistant Attorney General Matthew Frank, that Judge Regina Chu suggested that flagging jurors stand and stretch their legs.
