but when i look at this case, i have to as an individual ask, did they get this case right? what we found here was officer potter, yes a 26-year veteran, but the question is, was she actually acting recklessly? that would be count one. for count two, was she culpably negligent? where there was this unreasonable risk of harm that caused the death, great bodily harm to duante wright. those were question marks that i had in my mind. i am deeply concerned about this verdict and wondering if there was some residue from the case in minneapolis, minnesota of george floyd that was piled on here in the case of officer
he, duante wright, was responsible for his death. i think that that is also something that the jury could very well have taken in to consideration here. that s a no-no as far as i m concerned as a lawyer, to put someone on and say that this young man that died was responsible for his death. and the jury heard that. reasonable people can agree that that is a deeply offensive statements for a whole host of reasons. mercedes, ted laid out this scenario, this was is not just a faulty split second decision made by kim potter herself. there was a series of faulty split second decisions made on the ground in real time that ended up in duante wright being fatally shot. why is kim potter the only person being held responsible here? great question. part of it is because she s the
husband said i love you, kim. a lot of emotions running throughout this case. i want to bring in attorney brian claypool. what do you make of this verdict and the response we re seeing so far? gillian, thanks for having me back. we talked yesterday about this. i commented to you that that question by the jury about wanting to handle that gun, i thought that they favored the prosecution. why? ted williams mentioned this as well. it s difficult for a judge to grasp how kim potter would not know the difference between a taser and a gun. the taser weighs 50% less than a gun. that was a big game changer yesterday. at the end of the day, it s not surprised by the guilty verdict on the second degree manslaughter. a little surprised by the guilty on the first degree

warrant out for my a rest and lengthy felony record and i resisted arrest, i think i might run into a panicked officer. i m not justifying what happened. but this idea that we re going to contextualize everything in one direction in a political way, all of these trials and these incidents are becoming iconic politically. gillian: victor, we re coming up against a hard break now. the biden administration is making risky moves in afghanistan that could end up legitimizing or even contributing funding to taliban leaders. we ll break that dunn with congressman mike waltz next. on us, when you trade in your old or damaged phone.
