In the trial held today in Jefferson, former police detective Brett Hankinson, who killed Taylor, was found guilty 3 times at rank 1 by the jury, while the other 2 policemen were not punished.
Attorney General Daniel Cameron stated that the other 2 policemen were justified and were not punished because they were initially fired.
Taylor family attorney Ben Crump shared on Twitter: “ Only 1 in 3 police officers were sentenced and the reason for the sentence was not for the death of Breonna Taylor, but for the bullets fired by Hankison that hit other apartments. ” .
Following the decision, it was announced that a curfew would be imposed in the face of further protests.
Louisville police were also alarmed when anti-racists called protests, declaring that they did not consider the decision unfair.
Mayor Greg Fischer announced that a 72 hour curfew will be imposed, starting tonight.
THE DEATH OF TAYLOR
Emergency medical technician Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old black American, was shot and killed in her bedroom in the March 13 police raid in Louisville.
Taylor’s death came to the fore again after Floyd’s murder while in custody, with protests condemning racism and police violence spreading across the country, became the focus of protests in Louisville.
Former detective Brett Hankison was fired by the police department in June for shooting “blind” at Breonna Taylor’s apartment 10 times.
Louisville Mayor Fischer announced Sept. 16 that they would pay $ 12 million to Taylor’s family as part of a deal, as well as reorganize police practices.
