Minnesota police officer Kim Potter will get a fast-tracked trial over the Daunte Wright shooting, a judge has insisted.

The former police officer appeared with her lawyer, Earl Gray, on a Zoom hearing in which a judge found probable cause to support the charge against her and for the case to continue.

District Court Judge Regina Chu told Ms Potter that she wanted the trial to go ahead on 6 December.
