Potter Trial
Sentencing today in Dante Wright murder trial.
Decision is being read now.

Re: Potter Trial
She was sentenced today to two years in prison.The sentence comes nearly two months after Potter was convicted of first- and second-degree manslaughter.
Prosecutors had requested seven years and two months while Potter's attorneys argued for a lesser sentence, pointing to her lack of a prior criminal history and remorse for Wright's death.
Potter will be required to serve two-thirds of her sentence in prison, or 16 months, according to state law. With good behavior, she will be eligible for supervised release for the remaining third.

Re: Potter Trial
Wright's family was "completely stunned" by the sentence, their attorney Ben Crump said in a statement.
"While there is a small sense of justice because she will serve nominal time, the family is also deeply disappointed there was not a greater level of accountability," the statement said.
"The Judge's comments at sentencing showed a clear absence of compassion for the victim in this tragedy and were devastating to the family."
