Live Inside Courtroom Kim Potter Trial: Be First To Know Jury Verdict Free #LiveStream

MINNEAPOLIS, MN. (THECOUNT) — The jury has entered its second day of deliberations Tuesday in the manslaughter trial of Kim Potter, the former suburban Minneapolis police officer who while on-duty fatally shot Daunte Wright during a routine traffic stop.

The jury deliberated for around five hours on Monday concluding without reaching a verdict. Deliberations continued Tuesday, with Christmas Eve just days away.

Yesterday, jurors submitted a single question to the court inquiring about the timing of an interview Potter gave with a psychologist. The judge responded to the jury saying they “had all the evidence they were to consider.”

Below you will find a live stream view from inside the Potter trial courtroom while the jury works to reach a verdict nearby. The live view from inside the courtroom is usually a static shot of the Great Seal of the State of Minnesota, however, it does pan from time-to-time. On Tuesday morning, in a light-hearted moment, the live stream apparently caught Judge Regina Chu in street clothes coming into frame to empty the bench trash can.

In closing arguments, Prosecutor Erin Eldridge argued that Potter made a “blunder of epic proportions” and did not have “a license to kill.”

Potter’s attorney Earl Gray argued that the former Brooklyn Center officer made an honest mistake by pulling her handgun instead of her Taser and that shooting Wright wasn’t a crime.

Gray raised several objections during Eldridge’s tag-team closing arguments rebuttal.

After the jury was finally excused to go deliberate, Gray’s associate asked the judge for a mistrial complaining the Prosecutor essentially took two bites of the apple by delivering a pair of 14 minute final arguments, “it was not a rebuttal, it was a final argument,” the defense argued. The judge denied the motion.

The defense added that the double final argument was “unfair,” saying “This was a sandbag!, he [Prosecutor] sandbagged us, he sandbagged us by preparing another final argument, which was unfair.” Watch the exchange below:

Potter is facing State sentencing guidelines which called for just over seven years in prison upon conviction of first-degree manslaughter and four years for second-degree.

The live stream below is mainly used to monitor the courtroom just incase court is called back into session, for example, a jury question or if and when a verdict is reached. Simply put, if you want to know first, this is your best choice:
