Quote by msnbc:
"Jul 21, 2025
The Justice Department is recommending no prison time for a former Louisville police officer who fired 10 shots blindly into Breonna Taylor’s apartment during a botched 2020 raid that prompted a federal investigation into the city’s police department.
Brett Hankison, a former Louisville Metro Police detective, was convicted in November of violating Taylor’s civil rights. His shots did not strike Taylor.
MSNBC legal analyst Charles Coleman Jr. explains the latest developments and their broader implications."

AP News · Judge gives ex-officer nearly 3 years in Breonna Taylor raid, rebuffs DOJ call for no prison timeA federal judge has sentenced an ex-Kentucky police officer to nearly three years in prison for using excessive force during the 2020 deadly Breonna Taylor raid, declining a U.S. Justice Department recommendation that no prison time be given the defendant. Brett Hankison, who fired 10 shots during the raid but didn’t hit anyone, was the only officer on the scene charged in the Black woman's death. He is the first person sentenced to prison in the case that rocked the city of Louisville and spawned weeks of street protests against racial injustice and policing five years ago. U.S. District Judge Grady Jennings sentenced Hankison at a hearing Monday afternoon.

Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice recommended that a former police detective convicted of excessive force in the case of Breonna Taylor should serve a single day in prison. The judge in the case disagreed, and today sentenced former Louisville Metro Police Department detective Brett Hankison to 33 months in jail. Here's more from NBC.

The #DOJ [under #Biden] prosecuted Hankison, 48, after he was acquitted in 2022 on state charges of wanton endangerment of #BreonnaTaylor’s neighbors. Hankison’s first trial on federal charges ended in a mistrial in November 2023 when the jury deadlocked, prompting federal prosecutors to announce they would retry him.

The jury, which deliberated for 3 days, found Hankison not #guilty on a second charge of violating the rights of 3 neighbors.

None of the bullets fired from Hankison’s gun struck anyone, but several penetrated the apartment walls & entered an adjoining unit. #BreonnaTaylor was fatally shot by another officer after Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, fired a warning shot from a legally owned handgun & #police returned fire, investigators said.

“Although he was part of the team executing the warrant, Defendant Hankison did not shoot Ms. Taylor & is not otherwise responsible for her death,” the memo says. “Defendant Hankison did not wound her or anyone else at the scene that day, although he did discharge his duty weapon ten times blindly into Ms. Taylor’s home.”

The jury found that Hankison used #ExcessiveForce by firing 10 shots through #BreonnaTaylor’s apartment’s window & door, both covered with shades & curtains.

#BreonnaTaylor died weeks before the #Minneapolis police killing of #GeorgeFloyd. The deaths helped ignite nationwide protests seeking greater police #accountability over the use of #ExcessiveForce against #Black people.

Dhillon’s memo says the #DOJ *respects* the jury’s verdict & that the conviction means Hankison will probably never be able to serve as a police officer or own a firearm. [unless of course #Trump pardons him]
