Was it a fair sentence? [View all]
Yesterday Kim Potter, the officer who shot and killed Dante Wright, was given a 2-year prison sentence so she will spend a total of 16 months in prison and the rest on probation. She has already served nearly two months of that sentence so she should be out April, 2023. It may have just been a careless mistake, but when it happened she didn't even try to help him or ask other officers to help him. She was too busy rolling around on the ground wanting someone to call her union representative and worried that she would be going to jail.
She seems so sincere, but I noticed that when she was giving her statement, she was sobbing and could barely speak and when the judge said she couldn't be heard and asked for a microphone, she stopped the sobbing and calmly thanked the person for the microphone. You really have to wonder.
