cnn's adrienne broaddus is there now. compelling opening statements from the prosecution and the defense. let's start with the prosecution. really hammering home the fact that kim potter is a veteran, the former brooklyn center police officer had at least 26 years with the department and had extensive training when it comes to use of force. and every year she had to be recertified to use that taser. on the defense side, her team arguing demonstrative at times, her defense attorney, and banging on the podium, saying it was a mistake that she did not mean to pull out her gun. she was reaching for her taser. he also says if you listen to the video, you will hear her say taser, taser, taser. moments ago, we heard from katie bryant, that was daunte wright's mother, an emotional testimony from her as she describes the final conversation she had with her son via facebook messenger because he didn't have a phone. she saw him before he left the house. he asked for some money because he wanted to go get a car wash, and fill up his

>> adrienne broaddus outside the courthouse, thanks so much. joining me now to discuss the law behind all this, criminal defense attorney sara azari. good to have you on. we'll see testimony soon. sounds like there will be a lot of remorse expressed from officer potter. how does the law see this? she's sad about, clearly distraught about what happened. does that take away from any legal responsibility? >> reporter: no, jim. in fact, when defendants testify -- first of all, they have a right not to testify and the jury would be instructed they're presumed innocent, and that fact cannot be used against them. when they elect to testify, it's for two reasons, to humanize themselves and explain certain facts, neither of which are necessary for potter. we have heard from a slew of officers, her colleagues, her superiors, who have humanized her, talking about her being a good person, a good cop, a fine law enforcement officer and a good friend. we have the footage that your reporter just talked about that shows how incredibly agonized and traumatized
