In a court filing on Tuesday, Kim Potter’s defense team stated that the Minnesota Attorney General, Keith Ellison, said in early June that he would decide in “two or three weeks” whether or not there would be an amendment to the complaint in the Daunte Wright shooting case.
The defense said that, “It has now been four weeks and we have not heard from Mr. Ellison. Until Mr. Ellison makes up his mind the defense does not know what omnibus motions we should file.”
The defense is asking for the judge to set a cutoff date for amending the complaint.
Kim Potter and another officer pulled Daunte Wright over for having expired tabs and because there was an air freshener hanging from his rearview mirror.
The officers then discovered there was a gun-related arrest warrant out for Daunte Wright.
During the traffic stop, as seen from the police body camera footage, Daunte Wright got out of his car momentarily, then jumped back inside.
Potter meant to grab her Taser to subdue him but accidentally grabbed her service weapon and fatally shot Daunte Wright at close range.
Kim Potter’s trial is set to begin in December.
