It turns out that handling the weapons only mattered in the 1st degree charge. Juror says holding Kim Potter's gun and Taser was 'key turning point'

If police refuse to t as ke a complaint or otherwise do not meet your expectations you may make a formal complaint at the department, preferably in writing. I agree that contacting the prosecutor/DA may also help. Since you are a third party to this, do you know for certain your daughter is...

I think you just need to break down and get a new one. Yours never works.

Very few police officers would make the blunder Potter did. She knew from the moment it happened what the result would be. Her best hope was that the jury, or a juror, would not allow her to be held criminally responsible for a decision made in a moment of time that was forced by the criminal...

The guilty verdict is no surprise. I expected it much sooner though. I am curious to find out what held them up.

That is likely the fastest way for you to get this resolved.

Also, the judge on this case sounds like a robot.

I thought that might be a bad move. Surely the gun was not loaded. And that is where most of the weight is. An unloaded firearm might feel much more similar to the taser in weight.

It seems to me that when the jury asks the judge what happens if they can't reach a unanimous decision, it is very likely they have more than one holdout and some strong opinions. This is good news for Potter. I am surprised with the climate they have in that area that they didn't make quick...

Everyone thought he would need more time to find his feet after losing his arms. He won't have a leg to stand on at trial. He really seemed to have his hands full with that firearm. He will have to be waited on hand and foot while in custody.

He was just trying to get a leg up. He could no longer live hand to mouth.

I can't imagine what had him up in arms that would have led to this. He really shot himself in the foot here.

This happened a couple months ago but just came up on my radar today. There is no shortage of jokes to go with this story. It is pretty awesome to see an unarmed man manipulate a firearm with his toes. Despite his wheels he couldn't escape the long arm of the law. He was just...

I am not convinced Potter's testimony helped her much, other than the fact that she gave it. I understand people block things out from traumatic experiences, but she used "I don't remember" too much. I would expect a 26 year veteran to recall certain details despite the traumatic experience...

You won't find recommendations here, other than perhaps to meet with several and proceed with whoever you feel best about.

It's actually pretty simple. In the event of a tie the lower court ruling stands.

In what way have you incurred loss/damages by this ordinance?

Hire your own inspector.

Until someone is inconvenienced by fines or some other action against them it does not seem worthwhile to do anything at all.

Agreed. Retain new counsel. That person will know how to inform the court and prior counsel of the change.
