Overview
- Brett Hankison, a former Louisville police officer, is on trial again for civil rights violations in the 2020 Breonna Taylor raid.
- Hankison, who fired shots into Taylor's apartment, was previously acquitted of wanton endangerment and faced a deadlocked jury on federal charges.
- The raid, based on a flawed warrant, resulted in Taylor's death and sparked nationwide protests against racial injustice and police brutality.
- Hankison claimed he fired the shots believing a shootout was happening, but none of his bullets hit anyone.
- Other officers involved in the raid have faced charges, with some reduced due to a judge's ruling on the legal cause of Taylor's death.
