To say you "wonder" how many jurors were intimidated when there has been no hint of that happening is reprehensible.

Yes, the victim was no great loss to society. But Potter knew nothing g of this "previously undisclosed felony," and even if she did, it was irrelevant. Police officers are neither judges nor juries. It's their job to apprehend, not to sentence nor carry out that sentence. Further, the issue here was whether a veteran officer who even trained others could have confused a gun with a yellow-handled taser on her opposite hip. I don't know if I would have voted to convict, because I didn't watch all of the trial. I do know I would not want her on the police force in my town.
