The judge in Kim Potter’s sentencing appeared emotional after handing down a two-year sentence to the former police officer, calling it a “mistake that ended tragically.”
, appeared to get emotional after handing down a two-year sentence — which she called "an extremely difficult decision."
"This is one of the saddest cases I’ve had in my 20 years on the bench," Judge Regina Chu said during the sentencing. "On the one hand, a young man was killed. And on the other, a respected, 26-year veteran police officer made a tragic error by pulling her handgun instead of her taser." Ultimately, Potter was sentenced to a total sentence of 24 months, with 16 months served in prison, and the remaining on supervised release. She will receive credit for 58 days served.
"She never intended to hurt anyone. Her conduct cries out for a sentence significantly below the guidelines," Chu continued, again appearing to hold back emotion. The judge added that she recognized there would be those who disagree with the sentence.
