So this little lady, who accidentally pulled taser instead of gun, may face many years of life in prison.
Alec Baldwin is doing talk shows, about an accidental shooting....he is just 'a rockin.
There is something just not right here, don't you think?
Now, he is a serious liberal, how will this turn out? How will it?

I've gone over this with you before Joe. Stop trying to predict the future, and let the courts deal with this. They do a reasonably good job or sorting out guilt and innocence, just as they have for the last 2+ centuries.
@contenchess saidYes, he shot two people in different instances, then did a home invasion and armed robbery & rape of the homeowner. Libtard DA let him out each time. Too bad the jury isn't allowed to hear that, instead the perp's parents and family all got to get up and testify about what a sweet angel he was.
The dude she killed was a scumbag career criminal. So good riddance.
The jury asked the judge what do they do if they don't have a decision. So it's looking like a hung jury.

Anyone interested in making the case that she is guilty of first/second degree manslaughter. Here is the law. I haven't been watching the trial, but what clause would be used to accuse her of this crime?
I would hope that as a society we would not begin to treat accidental death while attempting a very difficult, but legitimate job at a great personal risk as the same thing as accidental death while committing a crime such as armed robbery.
Here is first degree manslaughter:
(1) intentionally causes the death of another person in the heat of passion provoked by such words or acts of another as would provoke a person of ordinary self-control under like circumstances, provided that the crying of a child does not constitute provocation;
(2) violates section 609.224 and causes the death of another or causes the death of another in committing or attempting to commit a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor offense with such force and violence that death of or great bodily harm to any person was reasonably foreseeable, and murder in the first or second degree was not committed thereby;
(3) intentionally causes the death of another person because the actor is coerced by threats made by someone other than the actor's coconspirator and which cause the actor reasonably to believe that the act performed by the actor is the only means of preventing imminent death to the actor or another;
(4) proximately causes the death of another, without intent to cause death by, directly or indirectly, unlawfully selling, giving away, bartering, delivering, exchanging, distributing, or administering a controlled substance classified in Schedule III, IV, or V; or
(5) causes the death of another in committing or attempting to commit a violation of section 609.377 (malicious punishment of a child), and murder in the first, second, or third degree is not committed thereby.
And here is second degree manslaughter:
(1) by the person's culpable negligence whereby the person creates an unreasonable risk, and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another; or
(2) by shooting another with a firearm or other dangerous weapon as a result of negligently believing the other to be a deer or other animal; or
(3) by setting a spring gun, pit fall, deadfall, snare, or other like dangerous weapon or device; or
(4) by negligently or intentionally permitting any animal, known by the person to have vicious propensities or to have caused great or substantial bodily harm in the past, to run uncontrolled off the owner's premises, or negligently failing to keep it properly confined; or
(5) by committing or attempting to commit a violation of section 609.378 (neglect or endangerment of a child), and murder in the first, second, or third degree is not committed thereby.
@mchill saidSettle , mchill. You libs are extremely touchy. You dont get the simple gist of a thread, and dig for angles. Boring. Hell, now you’ve mademe forget my angle. Shucks🧸

@dood111 saidDOO, DO YOU ALWAYS LIE?
Yes, he shot two people in different instances, then did a home invasion and armed robbery & rape of the homeowner. Libtard DA let him out each time. Too bad the jury isn't allowed to hear that, instead the perp's parents and family all got to get up and testify about what a sweet angel he was.
THIS IS NOT TRUE
NO RAPE, SHOT NO ONE, NO HOME INVASION
WHY MUST YOU CONSTANTLY LIE?

In the Statement of Probable Cause there are these statements:
"SSA McGinnis later collected and reviewed the layout of Defendant’s duty belt. SSA McGinnis observed that Defendant’s handgun was holstered on the right side of the belt, set in a straight-draw position, requiring Defendant to use her right hand to draw the handgun. Defendant’s Taser was holstered on the left
side of the belt, also set in a straight-draw position, requiring Defendant to use her left hand to draw her Taser. The Taser is yellow with a black grip, while the handgun is entirely black. Additionally, the texture of Defendant’s handgun has a distinct grip from that on her Taser. Defendant’s Taser is also equipped with a
manual safety switch which the operator must physically disengage before the Taser can be discharged and with a laser-sighting feature, which causes a laser indicator to appear on target when the Taser is being aimed after the safety is disengaged. Defendant’s Glock handgun is not equipped with such
features.
During her 26 years as a police officer, Defendant received a substantial amount of training, including training related to use of force and, specifically, to the use of Tasers and firearms. Defendant completed annual recertification training courses on each of these weapons. These courses included training on how to draw, aim, and use each weapon correctly. The training material for these courses also included notices alerting Defendant to the possibility and risks of drawing a handgun instead of a Taser. In the six months before this incident, Defendant completed two Taser-specific training courses. For example, on March 2, 2021, Defendant attended a four-hour training course pertaining to the Taser. This course involved a classroom component, which provided detailed and substantive information concerning
the function, proper use, and safety concerns associated with using Tasers; a practical component; and a written test. After this training, Defendant was certified for use of the Taser X7. On Defendant’s certificate of completion, Defendant provided her signature, acknowledging that she had read and understood the information and warnings provided by the manufacturer regarding safe use of the Taser. One of those warnings states: “Confusing a handgun with a CEW [Taser] could result in death or serious injury. Learn the
differences in the physical feel and holstering characteristics between your CEW and your handgun to help avoid confusion” and instructs officers to “always follow your agency’s guidance and training.” In other prior Taser trainings completed by Defendant, including another on November 5, 2020, Defendant likewise
signed paperwork acknowledging that she received, read, and understood identical warnings".
Perhaps Manslaughter 1 is a stretch but surely there is a prima facie case that Potter committed "culpable negligence" while using a firearm that caused Wright's death which is the required elements of Manslaughter II Minnesota Statute: 609.205(1).
@no1marauder saidCulpable negligence is in the eyes of the beholder.

In a sudden fight or flight moment when you have an instant to react, the "pucker factor" can be overwhelming and people act in ways that a Monday morning quarterback sitting in the comfort of their living room can't appreciate or understand.
Who put the poor woman in that situation? The perp who did everything he could to escalate it.
Screw him.
@contenchess saidShot one person in the head....in another incident he shot someone in the leg....then he did a home invasion/armed robbery and raped the homeowner. Why he was out is a mystery.
@jimm619
So he had a record...can you tell us what charges?
