Ex-Minnesota Police Officer Kim Potter Released From Prison After 16 Months for Killing Daunte Wright

Potter was released early Monday morning from a Minnesota correctional facility after serving 16 months of a two-year sentence.
Potter fatally shot Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, during a traffic stop in April 2021 after mistaking her gun for a Taser.
Wright's death sparked days of protests and further scrutiny of policing in suburban Minneapolis.
Potter was convicted of first-degree and second-degree manslaughter in December and sentenced in February.
Potter will serve the remainder of her sentence under supervised release in Wisconsin.
