The first-degree manslaughter charge carried a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and/or a $30,000 fine and a presumptive sentence of six to eight-and-a-half years. But Hennepin County District Court Judge Regina Chu opted to give Potter a lighter sentence than recommended by state sentencing guidelines.

Potter, who has already served 58 days, is expected to serve 16 months in prison and a third of her sentence on supervised release. Minnesota offenders typically serve two-thirds of their time in prison and one-third on supervised release, according to The Associated Press.

  1. She got off easy and light asf smh guess that’s how it is when you’re a cop and you can grab your gun when you meant to grab your taser and say oops my bad 🤦🏾‍♂️

    1. The “Injustice System” protects THUGS WITH BADGES and vice versa! It’s INEVITABLE that the people will walk over their crooked/corrupt faces sooner or later😁😆😂🤣

  2. | The Blue Heron Restaurant moved from Haile Selassie Road to a property with a Rustic Countryside Vibe | The Pizza 🍕 is delicious, the Service is Great | & | The Restaurant’s Boutique Store (Schwari) is rather unique |

  3. What a slap In the face! 2 years she’ll only have to spend 12 months in prison the the rest will be on probation for 6 months or less then she’s back out before you know it. If it’s a black cop you best believe they get 20 years or more!

    1. @James Jones You mean like when a gang of white supremacist tried to overthrow the U.S. Government? Like when order had to be restored so yeah the black capitol officer defended our government unlike this troll scream ‘Taser, Taser , Taser’ but grabbed her pistol and shot Wright unjustly. She got what she deserved and so did Ashley Babbitt!

  4. Remember God loves you!!😊♥️
    John 3:16
    For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
    Please turn your life around and repent🙏
    The clock is ticking…

  5. The judges comments and tears for Mrs. Potter spoke volumes. That volume muted the words/pain of DW’s family and marginalized his life.

    1. Daunte was a criminal and fought with officers and given the chance I’m sure would’ve harmed them. As far as I’m concerned she should have no time

    2. The “Injustice System” protects THUGS WITH BADGES and vice versa! It’s INEVITABLE that the people will walk over their crooked/corrupt faces sooner or later😁😆😂🤣

  6. The judge was defending the defendant during sentencing which Highly unethical because judges are suppose to be impartial.

    1. Since when are they impartial? Women get less time than men, minorities get more time than majorities for the same crimes in the same districts, and lower class persons get more time than upper class persons.

    1. And yet the black Capitol police officer who murdered an unarmed ashley Babbitt was never charged in her death.

  7. Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment now is the best time to invest and make money 💯

    1. My first investment with expert Olivia Walters gave me the assurance that has made me invest without the fear of losing, I got four of my friends involved with her already

    2. I’m from USA🇺🇸 and my colleagues gave her a try and it has been good returns of our investment Thanks Mrs Olivia Walters 👍

  8. Expect me to care a second about some thug with a record? If it didn’t happen, it would a happen by now.

  9. The judge should removed from the bench, all her past cases should be audited by the DOJ for possible conflicts of interests & bias Liening towards the police.

  10. The sympathy that that judge showed that officer was completely disgusting and I think unethical but then again she is a Asian-American judge and that is a young black kid😒
