Brandon Mitchell has been there before, and believes he's got a good idea what's happening as jurors determine the fate of former Brooklyn Center police officer Kimberly Potter.
The jury has been sequestered since Monday, right after closing statements were made inside the Hennepin County Government Center.
It's the same building where Mitchell sat along with about a dozen others for about three weeks in judgment of Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of murder in the death of George Floyd.
That trial was close to its ending when Potter shot and killed Wright, the former officer maintaining she thought she was using a Taser instead of her department-issued Glock.
"I think they're having a lot of discussion about the different verbage being used (between the prosecution and defense)," Mitchell told Susie Jones on the WCCO Morning News. "What is actually reckless, and what is negligent."
That's pretty much what the Chauvin jury did when deliberations began, with Mitchell saying they took a vote on the charges before the discussions began.
"I think they're all pretty different, because there isn't an exact method that you're given," he said. "You walk into the deliberation room, you kind of ask each other, you know, how do we want to do this."
But he expects there will be a lot of work for the jurors to reach to a verdict.
"I think today they are probably split right down the middle," Mitchell said. "I think as they discuss more it can go either way."
Mitchell is among those who believe a verdict will come down quick, especially with the holidays coming up.
"Absolutely," he said. "I think they want to do it right, and they're going to take their time. But, I definitely can feel that they're going to be thinking, as the deliberations go on, like, hmmm, I want to get home to my family. It's definitely going to be a thing on their mind."
Mitchell, a high school basketball coach from Minneapolis, was the first member of the Chauvin jury to go public about their deliberations.
