Federal Prosecutors to Retry Ex-Detective Brett Hankison in Breonna Taylor Case

The decision follows a mistrial last month, marking the third attempt to prosecute Hankison for his actions during the 2020 raid.

Federal prosecutors have announced plans to retry former Louisville detective Brett Hankison, who was involved in the 2020 raid that resulted in the death of Breonna Taylor.
The decision follows a mistrial declared in November after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict on charges of excessive force.
Hankison fired 10 shots during the raid, none of which hit anyone, but some of which entered a neighboring apartment.
This will be the third attempt to prosecute Hankison for his actions during the raid; he was acquitted last year on state charges of wanton endangerment.
A tentative trial date has been set for October 2024.
