As Wright tried to flee, Potter fired one shot into his chest, fatally wounding him.
The killing
sparked protests in Brooklyn Central and several other U.S. cities.
During her trial, Potter said she had confused her service firearm with her Taser and on body camera footage, before firing, she can be heard yelling "Taser! Taser! Taser!"
At trial, prosecutors asked for a sentence of 86 months, but Potter was sentenced to two years in jail, with credit for time served. The two-year sentence is much shorter than the sentence state guidelines typically would dictate.
Potter will serve an additional eight months of supervised release after leaving jail.
