A Minnesota judge rejected the defense's requests to list Daunte Wright's actions as violent crimes in the jury instructions.
's death began preparation Monday for opening statements by establishing jury instructions that will not include a look at the man's actions during his fatal shooting.
The defense asked Chu to add information that included how Wright did not follow commands from police officers, including Potter, the police officer who shot and killed Wright, and instead tried to escape from the police and drove a vehicle without a license. The defense also asked Chu to include that fleeing from a police officer is considered to be a violent crime in the jury instructions.
Chu rejected both requests, saying that fleeing from a police officer is not always a violent felony and that the allegations of Wright's actions can be presented in testimonies, but will not be included as jury instructions.For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below. Chu said she would finalize the jury instruction on when police may use deadly force after hearing some testimony during the trial.
