Judge Regina Chu dismissed jurors for the evening shortly before 4:00 p.m. CT after three agents from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and two forensic scientists testified in the afternoon. 

The jury was shown graphic autopsy photos of Daunte Wright’s body in the morning. Dr. Lorren Jackson, an assistant Hennepin County medical examiner, testified that Wright likely died within “seconds to minutes.”

Sam McGinnis, an agent with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, demonstrated how a taser is used for the jury and testified about the differences between Kim Potter’s taser and handgun. 

Judge Chu said that jurors will be able to handle a taser during deliberations. 

Prosecutors filed two motions on Monday, including one that is supposed to limit opinions from some witnesses after Sgt. Mychal Johnson testified on Friday that Potter’s actions were allowed under state law. Johnson was present at the traffic stop when Potter fatally shot Wright, but he was not testifying as an expert on police use of force. 

The second motion seeks permission to question witnesses about union membership, since Potter is a former police union president. 

The Minnesota Public Employees Association hit back at that motion on Monday, saying the organization “adamantly denounces the use of union membership to show bias of witness testimony."

The trial will resume at 9:00 a.m. CT on Tuesday. 

Images of Kim Potter's handgun and taser were displayed for the jury on Monday.

Prosecutors called multiple state police agents to the witness stand on Monday afternoon to testify about the investigation that unfolded following the shooting. 

Agent Sam McGinnis of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension demonstrated for the jury how a taser has laser indicators to indicate when it is turned on. 

"The taser is yellow. The firearm is black. The taser has a stocky body to it compare to the Glock handgun. The grip of the taser is shorter and wider than the Glock,” McGinnis said.

"The Glock handgun is textured the majority of the way around it, including the back. The taser 7 has some light texturing on the sides but not on the back. The Glock trigger is curved, the taser trigger is flat with some serrations cut into it."

Several pictures of Potter, her Glock, and her taser were displayed for the jury, showing that her firearm was on her dominant right side, while her taser was on her non-dominant left side. 

McGinnis also testified that Potter did not perform a “function test” at the beginning of her shift for two days leading up to the shooting.

The prosecution called to the stand Brent Petersen, a special agent with the Minnesota Criminal Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. 

Petersen said that he works on use of force investigations. 

He was asked to testify to evidence that was collected from the scene of Wright’s crash, including a hollow point bullet, and video footage from the bodycam of police officers who were present at the scene.

Melissa Loren, a forensic scientist and leader of the crime collection team at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, was called to the stand. 

Loren was asked to detail the evidence collected from the scene where Wright crashed his vehicle head-on with another vehicle shortly after he was shot.

The prosecution called as its first witness Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. Lorren Jackson with the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office. 

Jackson was asked to detail the autopsy of Daunte Wright for jury. 

The Hennepin County medical examiner’s office reported the day after Wright’s death on April 11 that he died of a gunshot wound to the chest.

During testimony, Loren said the gunshot wound was “far and away” the most significant injury Wright suffered, despite his car crashing immediately afterward.

The second week of testimony in the trial of former Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter was expected to begin Monday at 9 a.m. CT at the Hennepin County Courthouse in Minneapolis, Minn.

In the first week of testimony, the court heard from several witnesses, including Daunte Wright’s girlfriend, police and paramedics who responded to the scene and the officer who Kim Potter was training at the time of the shooting. Daunte Wright’s mother also testified.

The prosecution also showed police dashcam and bodycam video of the aftermath of the shooting.

Court Judge Regina Chu adjourned the court early on Friday due to wintry weather that swept through the region.
