Daunte Wright, 20, electronically faced a judge for the first time Thursday.
Kim Potter, 48, is accused of second-degree manslaughter in the Sunday afternoon shooting which various authorities have characterized as unintentional but still criminal.
The hearing, which was held via Zoom videoconference, lasted approximately four minutes. Reporters were allowed to watch the hearing remotely and to write about its contents but were banned from recording the proceeding in any way.
Defense Attorney
Thomas Lane, one of four former Minneapolis police officers charged in
George Floyd’s death last year.
Potter did not enter a plea. She was visible only briefly as she sat across from Gray on the other side of what appeared to be a wooden conference table. Gray mostly kept the camera pointed at himself but moved it for just a few seconds to confirm that Potter was present. Potter was wearing what looked like a plaid flannel shirt.
