Minneapolis (Associated Press)-The trial of a Minnesota police officer accused of shooting Daunte Wright began its second week of testimony on Monday, and a forensic doctor is expected to lead the jury to complete Wright's autopsy.

The 20-year-old Wright was stopped by police in Brooklyn Center, a suburb of Minneapolis, on April 11 because he had expired license plates and air fresheners on his rearview mirror. Kim Porter, 49, was charged with manslaughter. Porter, a 26-year-old veteran, said she planned to stop Wright with her taser after Wright left and returned to his car because the police tried to arrest him for weapon charges. Porter is white and Wright is black. His death occurred when Derek Chauvin was tried in nearby Minneapolis for the death of George Floyd, and it caused several nights of angry protests in the Brooklyn Center.

In the first week of the testimony, the prosecutor showed jurors a video of a police officer at a traffic station. One of the trainees, Anthony Lackey, took the lead under Porter's guidance.

The video shows the critical moment, when Luckey was about to handcuff him, Wright pulled him away, and then Potter shouted "I'll beat you!"? ? And "Taser, Taser, Taser!"? ? Then shoot him once with her pistol.

The juror saw Potter fall to the ground and immediately cried. Other police officers tried to comfort her. She resigned two days later.

The defense called the shooting a terrible mistake, but also claimed that Porter had the right to use lethal force against Wright because he might be dragging a third officer, the then sergeant. Mychal Johnson and his car.

Johnson testified on Friday that he held Wright's right arm in both hands and tried to handcuff him, but when he heard Potter yelling, he let go of Wright's arm. The video seems to show that Johnson's hand was still in the car when the gun fired.

The prosecutor argued that Porter received extensive taser training, which included multiple warnings not to confuse it with a pistol. One of them, Matthew Frank, pointed out that Johnson neither drew the taser nor the gun.

The trial also included a large number of testimonies and videos from the police, who rushed to the scene quickly after Wright’s car left the traffic station and collided with an oncoming vehicle.

The prosecutor accused Porter of not immediately broadcasting the details of the shooting over the radio so that Wright could get medical assistance faster; about 8 1/2 minutes later, the police were not sure what they were dealing with before pulling him from the crashed vehicle. Came out.

Defense lawyer Paul Enge complained that prosecutors showed too many videos unrelated to the Wright shooting and demanded a trial. But if they win the conviction and must prove that Porter’s actions endangered others, prosecutors are seeking a heavier sentence. Judge Regina Chu rejected this request.

The case was tried by a jury composed mainly of white people.

State sentencing guidelines require a sentence of more than 7 years in prison for first-degree manslaughter and 4 years in prison for second-degree manslaughter, but prosecutors said they plan to extend the sentence.
