New Indictment Filed Against Ex-Louisville Officers in Breonna Taylor Case

Federal prosecutors allege former officers falsified warrant that led to fatal raid, adding new charges after previous felony dismissals.

Federal prosecutors have filed a new indictment against former Louisville officers Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany.
The officers are accused of falsifying the affidavit used to obtain the warrant for the raid that resulted in Breonna Taylor's death.
The new indictment includes additional allegations of presenting false, misleading, and outdated information in the warrant affidavit.
Previous major felony charges against Jaynes and Meany were dismissed by a federal judge, reducing potential civil rights violations to misdemeanors.
Attorney General Merrick Garland initially announced federal charges in 2022, accusing the officers of creating a dangerous situation for Taylor by falsifying the warrant.
