Kim Potter's charging document cites 'culpable negligence'

"609.205 MANSLAUGHTER IN THE SECOND DEGREE.
A person who causes the death of another by any of the following means is guilty of manslaughter in the second degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than ten years or to payment of a fine of not more than $20,000, or both: (1) by the person's culpable negligence whereby the person creates an unreasonable risk, and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another; or..."

Please note that culpable negligence is not simple negligence. The state has the burden of proof and my guess is that Kim Potter will be acquitted and will get her job back or at least a fair severance.
