that training broke down. this is what happened. >> i shot him. oh, my god. >> kim, sit down. >> oh, my god. >> it was the worst mistake anyone entrusted with using deadly force can make. during her cross examination, potter admitted that wright never threatened her or the other officers. >> never saw a gun? >> no. >> he never threw a punch? >> no. >> never kicked anyone? >> no. >> never said, i'm going to kill you? >> no. >> never said, i'm going to shoot you? >> no. >> never said, there's a gun in the car and i'm coming after you? >> no. >> yet, she fired and wright died. >> i'm sorry it happened. i'm so sorry. >> her show of remorse did not, in the end, move the jury. at least not enough to acquit. >> we the jury on the charge of manslaughter in the first degree, while committing a misdemeanor, on or about april 11, 2021, in the state of minnesota, find the defendant guilty. we the jury on the charge of manslaughter in the second degree, culpable negligence on or about april 11, 2021, in the state of minnesota, find the defendant guilty. >> the judge then polled the jurors and revoked her bail. she was taken into custody where she will await sentencing in february. as a first-time offender, she likely faces between 6 and 8 1/2 years in prison. joining us now, jonathan masson, a mentor to daunte wright. thank you for joining us. you have spoken to us over the last year. i really appreciate your insight. what's your reaction to the verdict tonight? >> i'm very pleased with the verdict from the jury. like the judge told them, they are heroes. this was the verdict that i know everybody in minneapolis was hoping for. the jury did come up with the right verdict on this one. >> is it justice in your mind? >> no, it's not. it's accountability. for justice would be him being here with us. but this does show law enforcement and systematic -- people who are in these positions of power, when they make these mistakes or cause these ultimate deaths to our people within our society, you will be held accountable. in minnesota, with george floyd, we had that happen. now everybody was awaiting this verdict. it was the right decision. >> i understand you were in downtown minneapolis when you heard the verdict. what's the mood there now? >> you know, everybody -- there is a sigh of relief for our community. but many people are saying, you know, there's many families like this in the same position. right? kimberly potter, this is not her first time in this situation. she was involved with another shooting. we felt that that was covered up. for us, it's a sigh of relief. we got, i guess, a bad officer off the street. moving forward, i think this will be the model. not only for minneapolis, minnesota, but hopefully for all of our society. >> one of the things that's most painful for you is you had conversations with daunte in the past about how to interact with police. what were those conversations like? what did you tell him? >> you know, working at the school with him, i would tell him and all the other kids how to behave, how to interact with police. because me being a man of color, being from minneapolis and having several encounters with the police, i know that your life can be taken from you within a second. sometimes, it won't be -- it won't be held into account. we don't see this type of accountability. i tell kids how to behave, how to act. daunte was one of the kids. unfortunately, you know, this officer made a mistake that cost him his life. ultimately, the jury said, it's manslaughter. you know, as a mentor to these kids, this is -- on all angles, i think this will be an example for people to say, man, things could have been different on his reaction, her reaction. but ultimately, this is what happens in our society when these type of things happen. >> lastly, what do you want people to know about daunte? how do you want him to be remembered? >> well, you know, he was a father. right? he is a son. he was a part of our society. he had friends. he was a brother. so people to remember him as a human being. that we all have to guide and mentor and stand up for and ultimately we did this here. i'm just -- i hope everybody understands that his life mattered as well. >> jonathan masson, we are sorry for your loss. nice to speak to you tonight. thank you so much. >> thank you. omar jimenez has been covering the trial. talk to us about the reaction in the courtroom when the verdict was read. >> reporter: when the verdict was read, his mother burst into tears as former officer kim potter stood there motionless. it was an emotional moment. at one point, one of the jorz ap -- jurors appeared to be struggling. potter's husband yelled, i love you, as she yelled, i love you. daunte wright's father and mother were embracing in a long hug with the prosecution. wright's mother later said that today we got accountability. that's what we have been trying to get from the very beginning. this is the second jury to convict a former minneapolis area police officer, the first was earlier this year with derek chauvin. minnesota attorney general keith ellison said this sent a clear message that juries want to hold these police officers to high standards. for law enforcement, this shouldn't be a symbol of shame but instead as a moment to restore trust through accountability. he added, as we heard frank masson say, this isn't full justice. at the end of the day, potter still is able to correspond and speak to her family. daunte wright cannot. >> in terms of sentencing, when does that happen? any indication what the judge will do? >> reporter: so sentencing is set for february 18. potter is currently being held without bail. she's been seen smiling in some of her latest mugshots that were taken after she was convicted of manslaughter on both -- on two counts for the killing of daunte wright. in the sentencing, because she has no criminal history, she will likely look at a sentence range between a little over six years and a little under nine years. in between, the prosecution will argue for aggravating factors to tack on to the recommended guidelines within the state of minnesota here. along with we will hear victim impact statements. people that were -- who had their lives changed from this, who will argue that the sentence should be more severe than what the guidelines show. another note that i want to make known was daunte wright's mother today said that his favorite number was 23. here comes this conviction on the 23rd of december. >> omar jimenez, thank you so much for being there. two criminal defense attorneys, sara, were you surprised by the verdict? we were all together last night talking about this as the jury finished for the day. no questions yesterday. there had been some notion they might be hung. >> good to be with you. i was surprised and not surprised. i was surprised because as we spoke about this, 26 hours of deliberation, an entire day with no questions, clearly a jury that was struggling with the idea that she may be guilty under the law but they couldn't find her guilty. we thought -- my tea leaves were aligned with mark's that this was going to be a hung jury and a mistrial. in that sense, i was surprised. but i'm not surprised because this jury basically set aside bias and heart, applied the law to the facts and most definitely potter was guilty and guilty. as someone represented officers and civilians, i will tell you three to five years ago, this would be a full acquittal, not even a concern over a mistrial. the fact that we are now seeing more accountability for officers, the idea they are not above the law, if they do the crime, they do the time, it's not systemic change, but it's definitely a changing trend. this is not something that would have happened earlier. we have to remember that intent was never an element to these crimes that were charged. mistake was never a defense. this was the just verdict and the right outcome. >> mark, what do you think did happen in that jury room now that you heard the verdict and saw the reaction from the jurors themselves? >> well, they did struggle. i really thought after -- i acknowledge i was rung when i thou -- i was wrong when i thought it was going to be a hung jury. there was so little anger. i understand the law. you don't have to show that. but we as people and therefore jurors look at a case like this and they want to see that feeling, they want the animosity to try to convict somebody like miss potter of this. i was very surprised that it went towards conviction on both. i understand that they wrestled with it long and hard. i guess there were a couple that were holding out for acquittal. the other -- the ten or nine or whatever it might have been were able to convince them that this should be a conviction. i have to tell you, realizing that daunte wright's family feels justified and this is the right verdict, i don't know this is a good verdict for the criminal justice system if we hold cops to this level of criminal liability with what was obviously a horrible and tragic mistake but one with absolutely no animus. >> well, but based on what the prosecution said there and the law, a mistake is not a defense here. >> it's not a defense. i really believe that when we look at -- it has to be criminal negligence. it's not -- it's gross negligence. it's that negligence where you act in such a bad way that you should be held criminally responsible. obviously, i respect the jury's verdict. i still don't think that grabbing a gun, believing it to be a taser, saying that it's a taser, not having any prior bad acts that you could go back and say, this is a bad seed, it's all of that that i'm concerned about that we are holding cops to that responsibility. >> do you agree with sara this would not have happened three or five years ago, this verdict? >> i do. we are finally in the days of floyd and now this case and some others that we have been involved in and have talked about. we are without question holding cops more responsible for their actions. they don't get a free pass. i do think we need to talk about where had came from. i think this is an implicit bias reaction that we now need to truly train cops and law enforcement how to rethink their perspective of young black males. there's no question that something in kim potter's -- the back of her brain said, this is more dangerous than it actually was. >> sara, what was the one key piece of evidence or the one key moment of the trial then that you think pushed this toward conviction? >> i think -- i don't know exactly what changed the trajectory of obviously a struggling jury. i do believe that the ability to compare the weapons and just see how grossly negligent she was or criminally negligent she was given the vast differences between these two weapons. so although i see mark's point, this was just a very egregious case. it's not every day an officer with 26 years of training and certification mistakes a gun for a taser. i think that the jury's ability -- i mentioned that the other night. that could potentially change a trajectory of this struggle that they were having and being deadlocked. >> they could hold those items in the jury room. they had access to them. they could touch them. is that something that happens? >> no. it doesn't. typically, with a case like this that turns on those pieces of evidence, of course, it would be allowed. it was safe. it was critical that this jury got to see for themselves and feel for themselves how incredibly negligent she was. >> mark, you say you were surprised by this verdict. was there something the prosecution did well you think that got the conviction here? was there something that the defense didn't do well? >> i thought the defense did a good job. the prosecution did a good job. they got their conviction because they were able to show exactly what sara just said, that this was not an easy mistake to make. this was not you grab one gun that looks the same or feels the same but it was in the wrong holster. they did a good job of saying what they needed to to get the conviction they got, which is, it is so negligent, it is so unusual to grab a taser and think it's a gun that that act itself evidences recklessness. when you drive a car and you do 70 miles an hour through a school zone. it's so, per se, reckless that you have to be held responsible. i'm concerned but i respect the jury's verdict. i think the prosecution did a good job of separating out her behavior, her rehomorse and sayg we have to hold people responsible when they do something tragic when it's so unbelievably negligent. they did a good job with that. >> sara, what do you think about sentencing? >> just to mark's point, i think the prosecution -- the idea that they hammered in the mistake is not a defense. the defense got to get in an expert who was talking about the reasonableness, the consciousness of potter about the mistake. i think that was really key to remind the jury that, forget the noise about a mistake, because it's not a defense. sentencing, i think we will expect aggravating factors to be argued by the prosecution. we will expect mitigating factors in response by the defense. the idea that she has a family. she's had 26 years with law enforcement. she never had any record of discipline or criminal record. of course, that mistake which was not a defense could potentially be a mitigating factor for the defense in sentencing. the prosecution will argue she violated public trust in such a horrible way and that she violated department policy by not practicing with her taser. it will be interesting to see what the judge does. the judge can go from zero to max on count one. >> thanks for being with us and helping us understand the trial. >> have a great hole diidays. covid cases skyrocket as well as something almost unimaginable. doctors and nurses facing hostility, threats, violence from covid patients and their families. with his old boss talking about boosters, we will talk with dr. jerome adams. that ahead.

>> we want to help folks. now that folks aren't getting vaccinated, they are not believing us, they are questioning our education and our background. it's hurtful. we are exhausted. we are tired. we have been morally injured. >> reporter: she says some nurses have endured so much abuse that even getting them to walk from their car into work is a challenge. >> it's like when a veteran comes back from the war. he may be out of the war, but he hasn't left that war. >> reporter: it's crazy that you are talking about a health care job as if it was walking into a battlefield. >> it's a battlefield. it is a battlefield. >> reporter: the doctor thinks of the pandemic's early days, when grateful communities banged pots and pans to honor front line health care workers. >> the vast majority of patients we take care of now come to our interactions with distrust. >> reporter: that feeling of good will is gone?

>> absolutely. we have known donald trump for 75 years. we have known joe biden 79 years. we know the president's love language is words of affi affirmation. to me, what was most shocking, what was most telling wasn't that donald trump came out and supported vaccines. it was that it took joe biden 11 months to finally do what he has been known to do for 79 years. that's to reach out across the aisle. once he gave president trump the words of affirmation, you heard trump say, thank you, i appreciate that. he applauded it. i hope we see more of that. i have been calling for it. i've been telling people, we can't reach the conservative parts of america if we only use and only reach out to and engage liberal voices. >> come on, dr. adams, you are telling me donald trump didn't praise vaccines until joe biden decided to thank him? that's what he was waiting for? >> i am a psychiatry major. people have different words of affirmation. that's when you saw donald trump change his tune. i'm not saying it's right or wrong. you can't deny that that is when he changed his tune and came out and supported vaccinations. regardless, that's a good thing. the point we should be discussing is how do we get more people out there on both sides of the aisle talking about vaccinations and boosters? too many people are unboosted. 30% boost rate, that's not good enough. we are not near herd immunity. that's why the virus continues to torment us. >> i will take nisanything that helps get people vaccinate and boosted. if it just took a thank you to get trump to do it several hundred thousand deaths later, it's pathetic, isn't it? >> well, we can say it's pathetic. we can debate it. we can say it's pathetic it took this long for the new administration to reach out in any way, shape or form. i talk to people in the white house. i can tell you from inside the white house, there's a political pushback at engaging anyone from the trump administration, acknowledging they can anything right. i'm hearing this from inside the white house. i have always said, democrat, republican, biden supporter, trump supporter, we need cooperation. the enemy is the virus. at the end of the day, we can make a political story about this or we can say kudos to biden and trump. >> given trump waited so long to say this, will it have an impact do you think on those holdouts? >> well, we know -- we saw he got booed by some people out there. i have to feel like if the two presidents can come together -- i talked to my fellow surgeons general. if we can come together, if people on both sides of the aisle can come together, we can break down partisan divides that are between us and make the enemy the virus and not each other. >> there is news tonight the cdc changed guidance on how long health care workers have to isolate after getting covid from ten days to seven days. do you think that's a good decision? >> it's a decision that's been made necessary by the fact that the virus is spiraling out of control. it does follow the science. seven days but you have to test negative. we are seeing more and more that the virus -- you don't need to be isolated for a full ten days. to me, what bothers me is what you talked about earlier. we are stressing out our health care workers. look, we will have a different set of rules for you. not necessarily because of the science. because we have let the virus run rampant. we don't have enough support to let you stay out as long as we tell everyone else to stay out. there is science behind it. i think that what led us to it is the fact we don't have enough people boosted, we don't have enough testing, we don't have enough high quality masks out there for people. we are seeing this omicron variant really rip through america. >> do you think that other industries should join suit here? the airlines, delta, has written a letter asking for guidelines to be changed to get workers who are vaccinated and testing negative even if they had omicron, if they can get them back? united had to cancel 100 flights on christmas eve. clearly, there's a need. >> again, the science suggests we can shorten that window somewhat. we need to continue to follow the science. i don't understand why you would have a different set of rules for health care workers than for other people. i think the real key is something that they missed. again, we need to be promoting better high quality masks everywhere. a single layer cloth mask isn't cutting it against omicron. we need more testing, better masking. that's how we get through this, not by cutting out guidelines and making shortcuts to get people back to work. that's not going to get us through this. it's just a band-aid. >> thanks for joining us. have a happy holiday. >> thank you. get your booster. get your flu shot. get your vaccination. >> done it all. and i'm wearing the good mask. thank you so much. >> take care. the january 6th committee and the former president escalated their fight over his white house records all the way to the supreme court. details just ahead.

do you see the supreme court taking up this case? >> nice to see you. it might be one they can't resist. this is a major constitutional battle. it's a separation of powers issue. we have never had the supreme court rule on the question of a former president versus current president over a claim of executive privilege. the question is huge for the justices and for the country and for future presidents. you are right about the hand that donald trump goes into this with. a losing hand. the precedent on this question from the 1970s, when nixon twice had issues involving executive privilege, went against him. they led the two lower court sets of judges to go against donald trump. i could even see under a scenario, if this were normal times, a unanimous ruling against donald trump. but that would mean they would take it. one last thing i would mention is that in the request that you mentioned from the house select committee, it almost had the tone of accepting the fact that the justices might want to weigh in, but with the caveat, if you are going to weigh it, do it sooner rather than later. the clock is ticking how long that select committee will be in power. >> how quickly could they do it if they wanted to? >> well, what both sides are saying is, take it up in your january 14th conference. they could schedule it then for the end of january or early february. the justices usually take a four-week recess in february. they could hear it early february. they could then decide it in a couple weeks. back in 1974, the justices decided the nixon tapes case just in a couple weeks in july of '74. they could do it. we could know about the archive being able to turn over the documents to the committee by the end of february, if the court takes it. if it doesn't deny it outright, which is dicey here. >> margaret, obviously, the time frame here is that the democrats on the committee and liz cheney and adam kinzinger want or need this to happen before next year's elections when the republicans might take over and make this committee go away. the supreme court -- it's interesting here. there are people who say, it's a 6-3 done servi conservative cou. they will side with trump here. but there are legal questions they may want to address. >> the court isn't so crassly political. this is one argument you hear the judges making, even as you listen to the most recent c controversial hearing on the planned parenthood abortion case that they most recently heard. the justices to themselves and to the american public are arguing that this court is bound by precedent and bound by legal rules and the constitution that have nothing to do with who appointed each justice. i do think that it's right that they very well -- especially in the roberts court, a man who seeks to preserve the respect -- the remaining respect the country has for its institutions will try to forge a consensus and unanimous decision on anything that comes before him but particularly something as controversial and as political and prone to partisanship as this. >> how important do you think these records are at this point? to me, especially after we have seen these mark meadows texts, ones he willingly handed over, the idea that there are 700 pages of things the former white house didn't want anyone to see, there could be a lot in there, margaret. >> it's enormously important. the reason has nothing to do with partisan politics. it has everything to do with what was happening in the three plus hours. what was the president of the united states thinking, doing and telling people as violence was unfolding at the capitol? we know they were trying to mount what effectively is a procedural coup. they were trying to slow down the counting. what did they think about the violence? did they think it was helpful to them? was there potentially a legitimate dereliction of duty, which from the outside certainly seems obvious? what was happening on the inside? we won't know until we see those documents. this is a matter of maintaining our constitution, our uning at the r-- our integrity as a country. it's fundamentally important to our country, to our future. we need to know. >> thanks to both of you for join ugs. h have a wonderful holiday. millions of americans are traveling for the holidays this year. numbers not seen since before the pandemic. as you travel and gather with loved ones, a report on what we know about how the virus behaves as well as what mask to use and which to avoid. ho ho ho! not again. oh no. for the gifts you won't forget. the mercedes-benz winter event. get a credit toward your first month's payment on select models. ♪ thousands of women with metastatic breast cancer are living in the moment and taking ibrance. ibrance with an aromatase inhibitor is for postmenopausal women or for men with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer as the first hormonal based therapy. ibrance plus letrozole significantly delayed disease progression versus letrozole. ibrance may cause low white blood cell counts that may lead to serious infections. ibrance may cause severe inflammation of the lungs. both of these can lead to death. tell your doctor if you have new or worsening chest pain, cough, or trouble breathing. before taking ibrance, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection, liver or kidney problems, are or plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. for more information about side effects talk to your doctor. ♪ be in your moment. ask your doctor about ibrance. ♪ limu emu... & doug ♪ ♪ superpowers from a spider bite?

"360"'s randi kaye went looking for answers. >> reporter: inside this lab at atlanta university, scientists are measuring how coronavirus can spread through the virus of a cough. they fill a mannequin's mouth with a mixture of glycerine and water, then use a pump to force it to cough. then they wait and see how far the droplets travel. the droplets fill the air, made visible with a green laser light. holiday travelers take note. the droplets expelled advanced a distance of three feet almost immediately. within five seconds, the droplets had traveled six feet, then nine feet in just about ten seconds. remember, nine feet is three feet beyond the recommended social distancing guidelines. >> it's already reaching roughly nine feet now. it's still moving farther, slowly. >> reporter: the fog of droplets lingered in the air and can do so, the professor says, for several minutes. it took about 30 to 40 seconds to float another three feet. >> it's getting closer to 12 feet now. >> reporter: yes, he said 12 feet. over and over again, the simulated droplets blew past the six-foot mark, often doubling that distance. in fact, while the cdc says it's less likely, infections have been transmitted to people who were more than six feet away, even in people who passed through the area after the infectious person had already left. it's all part of why the cdc still insists on keeping your distance from others while traveling and wear a high quality mask. our professors tested masks too. and it's easy to see why some experts say cloth masks and anything that's just a single layer offers so little protection. first we tested a single layer g gaiter. >> it tends to let anything through without any stoppage. >> reporter: next up, a single layer bandanna made of 100% cotton. >> this is cotton, one layer. it performs a little better than the gait er. you still get some leakage coming through. it filters some of the droplets but some escape through with a single layer. they don't go very far, probably about six inches from the face when you're talking. >> reporter: this double layer mask made of quilting cotton also spread respiratory droplets when the mannequin talked and caused but not as badly as the gaiter and the bandanna. >> it doesn't go very far, probably two to three inches from the face. significantly better than the other masks. >> reporter: what about those blue surgical masks so many people are wearing on airplanes and airports? they did well, but there's room for improvement. when the mannequin caused, not much went through the mask but quite a bit leaked out the stop. bottom line, experts suggest grabbing a kn95 or n95 mask if available on the road. and keep your distance from your fellow passengers and maybe even your family. randi kaye, cnn, palm beach county, florida. >> good advice. ahead, the life and words of a literary icon. ♪ ♪ ♪ experience the power of sanctuary at the lincoln wish list event. is now a good time for a flare-up? enough, crohn's! for adults with moderate to severe crohn's or ulcerative colitis, stelara® can provide relief, and is the first approved medication to reduce inflammation on and below the surface of the intestine in uc. you, getting on that flight? back off, uc! stelara® may increase your risk of infections, some serious, and cancer. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you have an infection, flu-like symptoms, sores, new skin growths, have had cancer, or if you need a vaccine. pres, a rare, potentially fatal brain condition, may be possible. some serious allergic reactions and lung inflammation can occur. lasting remission can start with stelara®. janssen can help you explore cost support options. finally tonight, remembering a literary giant. joan didion chronicled for decades the simmering tension of american life and became a cultural icon. she died from parkinson's disease in new york, her publisher says. her numerous bestselling books included "slouching toward bethlehem" and "the year of magical thinking," following the death of her husband, writer john gregory dunne. she wrote, we mourn for ourselves, as we were, as we are no longer, as we will one day not be at all. let's hand it over to michael smerconish and "cnn tonight." >> john, thank you. i am michael smeonh.
