In Minnesota, in the Midwestern United States, a black man, Killing of Daunte, died in April last year when he was shot dead by a police officer when he was asked by police for a traffic violation. Kimberly Potter was found guilty of manslaughter.
The prosecutor's office sentenced her to more than seven years'imprisonment based on state guidelines, but on the 18th, a state court sentenced her to a sentence of two years' imprisonment.
Defendant shed tears and apologized in court for using a pistol for the wrong taser gun, a type of stun gun, and the judge said, "The defendant made a mistake. I didn't mean to hurt anyone." He explained that he had received hundreds of letters asking for generous treatment.
Meanwhile, Wright's mother strongly opposed the consideration given to the white woman who was a police officer at the time rather than the black victim, and commented that "the judicial system killed her son again."
In Minnesota, the whereabouts of the trial were watched as the police were exposed to strong criticism in an incident that triggered the spread of protests against racial discrimination throughout the United States.
