Jurors will be presented starkly different views of the veteran white cop who claims she 'accidentally' shot Daunte Wright during botched traffic stop

The trial of the ex-cop who shot Daunte Wright begins in earnest Wednesday as opening statements will be heard in Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis.

Kim Potter claims she shot Wright 'by accident' when she reached for her gun instead of her taser during a botched traffic stop and her defense in the high-profile trial is expected to lean heavily on the fact that Wright was attempting to flee when she did so.

Potter, a police officer for 26 years before her resignation five days after the shooting, has been charged on two counts; first-degree manslaughter predicated on reckless use/handling of a firearm and second-degree manslaughter.

Opening statements are set to begin Wednesday in the trial of Brooklyn Center police officer Kimberly Potter, 49, (pictured during jury selection last week) who is charged with first-degree and second-degree manslaughter in Daunte Wright's April 11 death

Potter, a 26-year veteran in the force, claims she accidentally shot Daunte Wright when she reached for her gun instead of her taser during a traffic stop over his expired plates in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota April

Daunte Wright, 20, was pulled over for having an air freshener hanging from his rearview mirror and expired license plate tags

Potter, a 26-year veteran in the force, claims she accidentally shot Daunte Wright (right) when she reached for her gun instead of her taser during a traffic stop over his expired plates in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota in April

The 49-year-old ex-cop shot Wright dead on April 11, 2021, when a traffic stop in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center went catastrophically wrong.

She and Officer Anthony Luckey, for whom she was Field Training Officer, pulled Wright over for having an air-freshener hanging from his rear-view mirror (illegal in Minnesota) and expired plates on his Buick.

Potter is expected to testify during the trial

A records check showed the 20-year-old had an outstanding warrant for a gross misdemeanor weapons violation and the stop swiftly turned into an arrest.

Wright resisted, getting back into the car out of which he had been asked to step as officers tried to cuff him.

I don't think she was guilty as he was a felon fleeing arrest on a weapons charge.

If I shoot and murder someone and claim it was an accident, I go to prison. Therefore, she should go to prison.
