Records show Potter is set to leave prison on Monday. A new photo shows Potter looking significantly changed since entering prison in December 2021.after being convicted of second-degree manslaughter in Wright's death. When released, she will serve the remaining months of her sentence on supervised release.
The sentence was a downward departure from guidelines, with Judge Regina Chu deciding the departure was warranted due to factors including the killing was unintentional, not driven by animosity, and Potter mistakenly used her firearm. Potter shot and killed Wright during a traffic stop in April 2021 after she fired her service weapon when she apparently intended to use her taser. After being shot, Wright drove away from the scene and crashed his vehicle a short distance away, where he was ultimately pronounced dead.
