Former Minnesota Officer To Stand Trial In December

Dante Wright's trial is scheduled for December after a judge ruled that the manslaughter case against Kim Potter can proceed. Potter, who appeared virtually, is accused of mistakenly using her gun instead of a Taser during a traffic stop in April, resulting in Wright's death. The former police chief supported Potter's claim of confusion, but Wright's family argued that an experienced officer should know the difference and urged prosecutors to file murder charges.
