Prosecutors Ask the Judge in the Daunte Wright Case to Exceed Sentencing Guidelines
Prosecutors involved in the case of the former officer who killed Daunte Wright argued in a court filing Monday that the judge should exceed sentencing guidelines for the defendant, The Associated Press reported.
In the filing, the prosecutors stated that the former suburban Minneapolis police officer, Kim Potter, deserves a longer sentence because she abused her authority and endangered others when she fatally shot Wright.
However, defense attorneys for Potter argued that she should receive a lower sentence or possibly probation after the career she’s had.
