The passenger in the vehicle of Daunte Wright when he was killed
during a routine traffic stop last year is suing the City of
Brooklyn Center and ex-officer Kim Potter, who fired the fatal
shot.

Alayna Albrecht-Payton, 21 of St. Paul, is seeking more than
$150,000 in damages from April 11, 2021, when Potter claimed she
mistook her firearm as a Taser and shot Wright. The vehicle he
was driving accelerated, lost control and crashed into another
SUV. The lawsuit says Albrecht-Payton was physically injured in
the crash and still suffers from PTSD after watching Wright die
from Potter's unlawful use of a firearm, the lawsuit said.

Potter was later convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to a
two-years prison term in June. The city of Brooklyn Center
agreed to pay a $3.25 million settlement to Wright's family.

"Albrecht-Payton was a blameless witness to a horribly traumatic
event, which a lot of people heard her testify to in the felony
trial. And she has suffered some significant and permanent
injuries, including the broken jaw, and the cuts, and just
scared inside and out from this event," her attorney Kathryn
Bennett said in a phone interview Monday.

The law firm representing Brooklyn Center, listed as Kennedy and
Graven Chartered, did not immediately respond to requests for
comment. Bloomington attorney Jason Hiveley, who is representing
Potter, did not return requests for comment.

"Potter endangered Alayna's safety— and that of a fellow
Brooklyn Center police officer assisting with the traffic
stop—when she shot Daunte mere inches away from Alayna and the
other officer," the lawsuit said.

Albrecht-Payton "bore the brunt of the impact" when Wright's
vehicle crashed in the SUV after the shooting.

"Despite her own injuries, Alayna spent the final moments of
Daunte's life desperately trying to save him as he gasped for
air," the lawsuit states. Rather than receive help, responding
officers held Albrecht-Payton at gun point and placed her in
handcuffs."

Potter did not render aid to Albrecht-Payton or Wright, thereby
neglecting her duty as well as failing to communicate with other
officers, the lawsuit said.

"Potter worried only about the consequences to herself. She
walked over to the curb, sat down, and started wailing. She drew
her fellow officers' attention to herself and away from
responding to the crisis she created. Officer [Anthony] Luckey
patted her back as she lay face down on the grass, expressing
her concern that she was 'going to prison.'"

Albrecht-Payton underwent surgery for her broken jaw the week
after the shooting and had four 8-mm screws wire her mouth shut.
She struggles to adjust her now-slanted jaw and her teeth are
not aligned.

In the days after the shooting, she lost her appetite and was
severely malnourished. About two weeks later, she became so
delirious from stress and trauma that she called 911.

"She believed someone was outside the house shooting at her that
morning. Her mother reported that Alayna had not been eating or
drinking for the last four days," the lawsuit states.

The bodily and mental harm she suffered "are a direct and
foreseeable consequence of Potter's negligent conduct." The City
of Brooklyn Center is liable for Potter's conduct as an officer
for the city's police department at the time she shot and killed
Wright

The lawsuit states that Albrecht-Payton replays the images from
the shooting in her head every day.

"She had flashbacks and nightmares about Daunte's death. The bad
dreams came to her every night. They were vivid—like
hallucinations," the lawsuit said.

But she was okay when they wuz robbing liquor stores, doing
drugs and throwing shit at police officers during the riots.

The mother and son who said they intended to provide low-income
Minnesota families with free computers, Internet access and an
online study guide were convicted Tuesday of defrauding the
Minnesota Department of Revenue of $2.1 million by causing the
filing of false tax returns.

A three-week jury trial in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis
ended with convictions for Carolyn Louper-Morris and her son
William J. Morris Jr., who had owned and operated a business
called CyberStudy.

They were convicted on one count of conspiracy to commit mail
and wire fraud. They also were each convicted of five counts of
wire fraud; Louper-Morris, 63, was convicted of six counts of
mail fraud; Morris was convicted of five counts of mail fraud,
and of filing a false tax return by understating his 2001 income
by more than $400,000.

District Judge John Tunheim allowed the pair to remain free on
bail pending sentencing, which has not been scheduled.
Prosecutor Timothy Rank said the conservative estimate of a
sentence is 14 to 18 1/2 years.

In 2000, when most of the events occurred, Louper-Morris and
Morris operated a business called CyberStudy 101, which sold an
online student tutorial to customers for $1,000 and in return
promised to give customers free Internet access and a computer.

The $1,000 would be paid to CyberStudy by way of a tax credit
available to low-income Minnesotans. CyberStudy filed tax
returns for its customers, directing the tax credit payments to
itself. At the time, Minnesota law provided tax credit for
supplemental educational expenses of $1,000 per child and as
much as $2,000 per family.

During the trial, prosecutors said that CyberStudy didn't make
good on its promises and that its business may have seemed
altruistic for its promise of closing the digital divide, but
the company simply was using the computers to get customers in
the door so they could obtain their state tax credit.

It was a trial likened in its complexity to the Tom Petters case
a few months ago.

Rank, the assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted the case, also
was co-counsel in the Petters trial. Prosecutors called 49
witnesses and had more than 300 exhibits in the CyberStudy case.

They argued that the online tutorial didn't live up to the
claims CyberStudy made, and that CyberStudy owners had failed in
selling the tutorial to college students for $29.99 before going
the tax credit route. In the two years prior to using state tax
credits, CyberStudy sold fewer than $200 worth of the tutorials.

Prosecutors further showed that in obtaining the tax credits
CyberStudy violated state laws requiring citizens to pay for the
tutorial services before they claim the tax credit on their
returns. More than 2,500 Minnesotans turned over their tax
credit to CyberStudy, prosecutors said.

Neither Louper-Morris nor Morris could be reached for comment
Tuesday. Their conviction comes 10 years after the company's
heyday, when it was lauded for using a tax innovation to help
close the digital divide.
