Summary

Just months after Court TV made history with their cameras televising The Death of George Floyd Murder Trial, we’re back in that same courtroom for the trial of another police officer – 26-year veteran Kim Potter – who is facing manslaughter charges for the death of Daunte Wright. Will prosecutors be able to convince the jury Potter was criminally responsible for Wright’s death when she mistakenly fired her gun rather than her taser? Or will her defense team be able to show that not matter which weapon she used, she was within her rights to do so? Court TV’s Julia Jenaé is on scene for the trial and will join host Vinnie Politan to share what she has observed. Get the latest updates on Court TV and CourtTV.com. And join Vinnie Politan and the entire Court TV team nightly as they discuss the biggest legal stories of the day on Closing Arguments from 8pm to 11pm.

0:56.4	I'm Vinny Polytan. Thank you so much for downloading the Court TV podcast. This episode is going to be, I think, fascinating because it's rare in one year on court TV that you go back to the same courtroom
1:10.3	for two different trials.
1:11.6	I mean think about how many courthouses there are across the country,
1:16.0	how many judges and how many courtrooms in all these courthouses and jurisdictions.
1:22.0	And I don't know if this is... these courthouses and jurisdictions.
1:23.0	And I don't know if this is,
1:25.6	maybe it has happened before on court TV,
1:28.7	but never to this level with such high profile cases and you know we covered the trial of Derek
1:36.5	Chauvin the man who was convicted of murdering George Floyd that happened
1:41.8	in Hennepin County, Minnesota and in the middle of
1:45.6	his trial there was a police shooting in Hennepin County, Minnesota and now the former officer who shot and killed Dante Wright, a
1:57.6	motorist, her name is Kim Potter, the former officer. She is now on trial in Hennepin County, in the same courthouse, in the same courtroom.
2:07.6	Unbelievable. So what do we do at Court TV? We're going to send the same incredible team of journalists back
2:18.1	out to Minnesota to cover this. And joining me now is Court TV legal correspondent Julia Janay, who was in Hennepin County for the trial of Derek Chauvin and is now back out there for the trial of Kim Potter.
