kim potter is facing up to 15 years in prison. prosecutors have said that they're pushing for a sentence close to that 15-year maximum. neil? >> neil: garrett tenney, thanks very much. so what are we looking at with that sentencing? it could be right now up to 15 years. let's go to the former fell prosecutor, tom dupree, the former deputy assistant general. tom, let's begin with you on what you think an appropriate sentence or one ultimately that will be handed down here. >> neil, i'd be surprised if the judge went up to 15 years. i know they're going to puch for sentence enhancements. when you look at the totality of the facts here, the nature of the trial, the nature of the charges, i'd be very surprised if the judge went all out and imposed anything close to the maximum. i think it will be less. >> neil: katie, how do you think the defense handled this case? >> well, the defense handled the case with the facts that they had. as we know, in criminal law as a defendant, anything you say can and will be used against you. in this c

now kim potter goes into custody. the judge refused to let her go out on remand by the fact that she is catholic, it's christmas time, the defense made the argut that she's never been in trouble before, and she has been sentenced yet, and the judge said she cannot treat this case differently than any other, and it is standard practice to send someone into custody. >> mike: jacqui, we saw protesters gathered outside the courthouse seeming to celebrate the conviction of this police officer. let's check back in with garrett denny what is the scene they are? >> you can hear behind us here in the back of the courthouse this crowd chanting "daunte wright." when that verdict was read in court and the crowd got word of it, it erupted into cheers, similar to what we saw when the verdict was announced in the trial of derek chauvin. a lot of happy folks here today, because the justice they say they have been calling for -- what was interesting, kim potter, is that verdict was read in court, very stoic, very little emotion. a sta

they know that kim potter's husband said "i love you, kim." a lot of emotions running throughout this case. i want to bring in attorney brian claypool. what do you make of this verdict and the response we're seeing so far? >> gillian, thanks for having me back. we talked yesterday about this. i commented to you that that question by the jury about wanting to handle that gun, i thought that they favored the prosecution. why? ted williams mentioned this as well. it's difficult for a judge to grasp how kim potter would not know the difference between a taser and a gun. the taser weighs 50% less than a gun. that was a big game changer yesterday. at the end of the day, it's not surprised by the guilty verdict on the second degree manslaughter. a little surprised by the guilty on the first degree manslaughter. guess what? the jury sent a message to the entire country that they felt -- i looked back at the language in the first degree manslaughter. gillian, it says the jury found that mrs. potter used such force and violence that death was reasonably

i want to read from the retired judge who said kim foxx showed resign. she is a liar and administration is in chaos and blaming everyone else. she should resign. taxpayers deserve better and her mentor should take no part in replacing foxx. cook county government needs to clean house. basically the text showed that smollett's sister and foxx were in communication and foxx says your brother should be fine as long as he stays consistent. how does she stay on the job after this? >> maybe only in cook county, i don't know. kim foxx is a progressive prosecutor who broke almost every rule you can imagine in handling jussie smollett's case. she repeatedly lied according to the 63-page report where they interviewed 53 witnesses. repeatedly lied about the strength of the case to her contact with jussie's sister, to even jussie smo*elt's criminal records. they said he had no criminal record. he had a dui with a false statement to police conviction. a pretty material piece of information they lied about. the conversation with sister is astounding to me because it w

griff: a minneapolis jury hands-down a verdict for ex-cop kim potter on two charges for the death of 20-year-old daunte wright in april. trial attorney and former prosecutor, merry christmas to you, thank you for taking time to join us early as we get ready for the holidays, very difficult trial watching all of that yesterday. what is your reaction to the verdict? >> my first reaction is this was a deliberation. there was a long deliberation. legal experts like myself were questioning whether or not we were going to get a verdict. went on for four days. 27 hours of deliberation on two counts and it wasn't an entirely complex case. it was a split-second decision by kim potter and the jury took its time, it was a deliberate deliberation and certainly it is tough to look back and criticize it. they were the ones in the court room, the give the evidence and came out with a tough decision, they were unanimous as they did it. griff: carrying up to 15 years, we will find out what the sentence is. let me ask if you were representing potter would you put her on the stand, what were your thoug

then she showed a picture of kim potter holding the gun. so there was time that was lapsed between holding the gun and shooting the gun. that is powerful. that establishes i think that potter knew that she had a gun in her hand. i think that does potentially rise to cupable negligence. >> martha: she at one point, you know your left from your right, right? to kim potter. she said yes. i have to go but i want one more quick answer. she said she never fired her gun before or never fired her taser before. quick thought before we head out. >> all that is irrelevant to what she did on that given day, what she knew at that time, what threat did she see and what actions did she take. it's what happened that day is going to be the determinating factor. the jury -- if this is a case on fact, the jury will deal with this case and we don't know what the outcome will be. >> martha: complicated and complex to be sure, a lot of emotion on that stand today from kim potter. we've seen a lot of emotion through this course of this trial from duante wright's

kim potter gets emotional. we saw that again today when the defense and the prosecution was going through those events and showing the video. she mentioned she's been going through therapy since that shooting in april. one thing that is important from the prosecution's cross-examination, is they are trying to lay the foundation for this idea of her being culpably negligent. laying out the thousands of hours in training over 26 years pointing out the specific training in the manual regarding a firearm versus a taser. pointing out the brooklyn center police department their policy is officers need to practice taser draws to avoid what happened back in april. potter said that may be the policy, but in practice that doesn't always happen. the prosecution laying the ground work for the argument that she had the experience. she should have had the training. she should have known better. the policies were in place to prevent this but she did not follow-through on doing that. she is clearly very emotional going through

kim kardashian, or as she's known in my house, kim kardashian, is getting dragged online for posting spoilers for the new spider-man movie "no way home." okay, spoiler alert, i'm about to tell you what she shared, so it's your chance to change the channel if you don't want to hear anymore about a young man swinging around town spraying secretions everywhere, and i don't mean pete davidson. all right. a few more seconds -- okay, that's enough. if you're old enough to be up this late, you are too old for spider-man anyway, okay? according to "the new york post," which is owned by our parent company, lane bryant, kim shared some screenshots of the film from her private theater on her instagram story. of the pictures avail the tobin mcguire and andrew garfield are in the movie i don't know why that matters, because i'm an adult, but some dudes who work for the show told me that it does matter and our conversation was also the closest any of them have ever been to a girl, so there you go. all right. so, kim, she later deleted the photos, but it was too late. if people were furious. tweete

kim potter's life is now ruined. many will have spent time litigating or relitigating the case and talking about it, the system has spoken, she has the right to appeal. i would rather focus on the message to criminals and would-be criminals and americans writ large. when you don't comply with the police, take your cell down a path where you end up in this type of situation, daunte wright was certainly not innocent, i am not saying he deserved to die. it was a tragic mistake by the police officer. but had he not gone down that path where he was facing prison with felony charges, he's not a sinner that should be turned into a saint. the lesson here is for us to examine the situation and take it forward and say how do we keep children, young people away from this type of situation. there will be fewer daunte wrights and fury kim potters. benjamin: vice president kamala harris, will be better if she was a white man. i want to review this in the new york times. miss harris told her allies, 48 predecessors who were white a

but here is kim potter as you mentioned, brian, she has a stellar record. she makes a split second decision that the jury found was in error. what do they do? they threw every single charge they could at her will prosecutorial discretion used. not only that after the conviction you have the prosecutors saying this is aggravated case we don't want to go with the sidelines seven years in prison. we want her to sit more time in prison because she is a danger to her community. what the hell is wrong with prosecutors. you should look at kim potter and go this was a mistake, we are going to use our discretion. have a lighter charge and give a lighter sentence recommendation. but you have liberals letting criminals go and a good cop with a perfect record they are throwing the book at and want to see her in prison for over 10 years. unbelievable. steve: sentencing comes up in ebb if. let's see what happens. sean, thank you very much for joining us, merry christmas to you and all the duffy's. >> steve, thank you for wearing such a happy outfit for christmas. i love

let's bring in our panel, all star panel of wall street journal columnist kim strassel phil and mary o'grady so dan i want to give you a crack at that question i ask karl rove how do you explain the white house decision starting in january, with very narrow majorities to try to govern with a left only coalition. >> all right, paul i'm going to give you one piece of the explanation that i think it is worth focusing on. and that is senate majority leader chuck schumer. chuck schumer is from new york city. he's up for reelection next year. we know that he conceivably will be challenged by a member of the squad from new york, alexandria cortez but let's focus on fact that chum schumer has had progressive left we think demonstrators from nongt of his house in brooklyn at least three times over the last three years. he's under a lot of pressure. and i think that pressure moved the senate majority leader smartly to the left, and took a lot of the party with him if you consider for instance, if they had someone else, say amy klobuchar as majority leader i doubt they would have moved so easil

kim potter said she meant to use her taser but she grabbed her gun instead. christina coleman is following this trial for us. hi, christina. >> hi, martha. the defense could call kim potter to the stand at any moment. she wants to testify. potter killed duante wright in a traffic stop after wright tried to drive away with one of her fellow officers halfway in the car. prosecutors argued that potter was an experienced officer trained in using tasers and the warnings about confusing it with a gun. this defense says potter was within her rights to use deadly force because her fellow officer was in a life threatening situation. >> the use of deadly force was not appropriate and the evidence suggests that a reasonable officer in officer potter's position could not have believed that it was proportional to threat at the time. >> another expert disagreed with that assessment. >> an officer half in and half out of a vehicle that is about to be put in drive with the door open would meet that standard. >> so an officer could shoot? >> it would meet that standard and an

i would have started when kim potter was in the car. she testified at trial, i wouldn't have pulled this guy over for a tag infraction. so why did you pull him over? let's go to the next round where they're putting handcuffs on duante wright. last time i checked the video he's outside the car. how did he get back in? why are you using a trainee? why didn't you handcuff him? the key point, the holster, the taser is on the left side because she's right-handed. she pulls out a gun. there's a click on the gun, but not a click on the taser. the taser is a big wide grip. weighs 50% less than a gun. here's a kicker. there's a photo in evidence where she's pointing the gun. if i'm prosecution, i would have broken down how many seconds that was. one, two, three. why? that shows consciously in her mind she has to know that that is a gun. why didn't she give a verbal command? i'm going to shoot with a daysfer you don't surrender. why was a police officer reaching in on the passenger's side of the door? i've done a lot of police cases. they're not
