Outcome reached in Kim Potter trial over Daunte Wright's death

Erin Eldridge, a prosecutor with the Minnesota assistant attorney general's office, is presenting the state's case against former Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter.

In an opening statement, Eldridge read for the jury the oath that Brooklyn Center officers take: "I will never betray my badge, my integrity. my character, or the public interest. I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions."

Eldridge told jurors that police officers "have the responsibility to be mindful and attentive and acutely aware of the weapons that they carry and the risks associated with those weapons," targeting Potter's defense that claims Potter had meant to grab her stun gun instead of her firearm when she fatally shot Daunte Wright. 

"When it comes to those weapons, they have the responsibility to carry those weapons, and use those weapons appropriately," Eldridge added. 

Eldridge told the jury that they'll hear evidence regarding stun gun and firearm training that Potter, a 26-year veteran of the Brooklyn Center police department, would have had. 

Potter carried her weapons on her belt in the same way every day on the job, Eldridge told the jury, and that she wore her firearm on her dominant, right-hand side and her stun gun on her non-dominant, left side.

"She was also trained about the risks of pulling the wrong weapon and that drawing and firing the wrong weapon could kill someone," Eldridge said. "She was trained to carry her weapons in this way. And she was trained on how to use them and how not to use them."

Daunte Wright's siblings -- Damik, Diamond and Dallas -- have arrived at the Hennepin County Government Center ahead of opening statements. 

Daunte's family wants him to be remembered not through the tragedy of his death, but as a brother, son and father who was close with his family.  

"On Thanksgiving, we sat there and we watched so many videos of my nephew," Wright's aunt Naisha Wright said tearfully in a past interview with ABC News. "It was just such a beautiful thing, because everybody had a memory of him either cracking jokes or trying to dance -- because he could not dance, but he tried."

She added: "He just had his whole life taken away from him. We had our hearts pulled out of our chests. He was my baby."

The state is expected to deliver its opening statement first, represented by Assistant Attorney General Matthew Frank.

Judge Chu will call the case, and hand it to the prosecution. Depending on how long each side takes, it is entirely possible the state call its first witness today also.

Opening statements in the trial of former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter will begin Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET at the Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis.

Proceedings will take place in the same courtroom where Derek Chauvin was convicted in the murder of George Floyd.

Potter, 49, is charged with felony first- and second-degree manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man. She has pleaded not guilty.

Potter was first indicted on a second-degree manslaughter charge, which alleges that she acted with "culpable negligence" in Wright's death. A first-degree manslaughter count was later added. Prosecutors say that Potter caused Wright's death while recklessly handling a gun, causing the death to be reasonably foreseeable.

Potter's jury is less diverse than the one that decided Chauvin's case: nine of the 12 deliberating jurors are white, alongside one Black juror, and two Asian jurors. The two alternate jurors are also white.

The deliberating jury is 75% white -- which is aligned with the racial demographics of Hennepin County, according to Census information.
