      Potter was a Brooklyn Center police officer when she shot and killed Wright during an April traffic stop. She faces about seven years in prison on the most serious count, but prosecutors said they’d seek a longer term.

      Potter’s lawyers argued that she made a mistake by drawing her gun instead of her Taser. Prosecutors sought to raise doubts about Potter’s testimony that she decided to act after seeing fear on a fellow officer’s face.

      The shooting happened at a time of high tension in the area, with former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin standing trial just miles away for the killing of George Floyd. Potter resigned two days later.

      Potter looked down without showing any visible reaction when the verdicts were read. She made the sign of the cross as the judge thanked the jury. She was denied bail.pic.twitter.com/6UsOO6A58a

          I can hardly believe it, they actually held her accountable for her actions. Maybe we are finally getting to a place where cops aren’t immune from consequences, I have to believe body cams are a huge part of this. Every time a cop turns off their cam it’s because they know this

          She should not have been convicted. She made a mistake and should not have been charged criminally. Civily yes. I would never want to be a police officer in this country. Wrong decision jurors!
