Juror in the Kim Potter trial opens up about guilty verdict | kare11.com

Great interview and a very thoughtful juror.

Thanks for posting this. It's interesting that the jurors focused in on the very same points that we focused on here while discussing the case.

For example, how Potter never told Dr. Miller she saw "a look of fear" on her partner's face like she said during her testimony and how poorly we felt the defense did during their presentation.

• Juror says holding Kim Potter's handgun and Taser was 'key turning point' in deliberations for the ex-cop's manslaughter conviction

Kim Potter Trial: How someone can confuse a gun for a Taser

A big turning point for the jury was when it had the opportunity to hold Potter's gun and her Taser to feel the differences between them. KARE reported that the gun is about twice as heavy as a Taser and that it is unholstered and fired differently from a Taser.

“The Taser kind of feels like a mouse click, whereas the trigger has some trigger draw weight. That was a key turning point,” the juror said.

Apollo can you make a new thread for him?

Sure. I'll start one in 'Crimes in the News'.

ETA: Naturally, I screwed it up and didn't include the date in the title, but I reported it so hopefully a mod will add it.

Judge Chu just sentenced Potter to 16 months (since she will only have to serve 2/3 of her sentence--actual sentence is 2 years). Judge very emotional and knows many people are going to disagree with the sentence.

 

[ReadySet]

16 mos. in prison. A good sentence imo.

I think the judge gave an excellent explanation for her decision.
