Legal Team for Daunte Wright’s Family Issues Statement Following Testimony of Former Officer Kim Potter (Minneapolis, MN) – Civil rights attorneys Benjamin Crump, Antonio Romanucci and Jeff Storms, who represent the family of Daunte Wright, have released the following statement:
“Kim Potter’s testimony today further confirmed what has been clear about this case from the beginning: Daunte Wright’s killing at Potter’s hands was absolutely preventable. The argument that she mistook her firearm for her taser is simply beyond comprehension and a damning indictment of both her and the Brooklyn Center Police Department’s practices and training protocols.
“While the defense attempted to garner sympathy today through Kim Potter’s testimony, we want to stress how misplaced that sympathy would be. As the defense rests and we look ahead to jury deliberations and a verdict, we must not forget that Daunte’s parents, his extended family, and his child are facing another holiday without him. And it’s because of the reckless and tragic choices made by former officer Potter and the failures of the Brooklyn Center Police Department in the training and development of their police force. We stand with the Wright family as they continue to mourn his loss and anxiously await a conclusion to the trial and hopefully, justice for Daunte.”
