24 months, 16 months in prison, and 8 months on supervised release. That's the sentence Kimberly Potter received for killing an unarmed black man, Daunte Wright. We'll let you hear Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu's reasoning behind the ruling and how Daunte's family feels about this "punishment." Journalist Georgia Fort has been following this case since Potter fired the fatal bullets on April 11, 2021.  She'll be here to tell us what the atmosphere is like in Minnesota.
