Judge Eyes Dec. 6 Trial Date For Ex-Cop Charged In Daunte Wright Killing Enlarge this image toggle caption AP AP A judge in Hennepin County, Minn., on Monday said probable cause exists to support the charge of second-degree manslaughter against former Brooklyn Center officer Kim Potter in the killing of Daunte Wright. During a brief court appearance via video conferencing, Judge Regina Chu said she viewed Dec. 6 as a good date for the trial to begin. Officials said Potter had intended to stun the man with her Taser gun to subdue him but accidentally drew her handgun instead and fired once, hitting Wright in the chest. Wright's family attorney disputes that the shooting was accidental, arguing that Potter, a 26-year police veteran, would have been able to feel the difference between the Taser and her 9 mm service handgun.
