A video shows an officer whose vice news says former detective Brett Hankinson appears, enters Taylor’s apartment apartment after the shooting and asks about Shell Singh, who is on the floor. He will soon be told by another unidentified official that he should be “backed out” until the LMPD’s Public Integrity Unit arrives. Hankinson’s lawyer declined to comment on the video.
In another video, which the news says was the same moment when Brona Taylor’s boyfriend Kenneth Waker was arrested, an unidentified officer could be heard instructing him to “walk backwards” and “put your hands in the air and sit on your knees.” The service threatens to release the dog if the taxman does not comply.
Walker’s attorney, Steve Romines, said he had seen the footage as part of the taxman’s presentation and confirmed its accuracy.
Initially, a Jefferson County grand jury indicted Waker on charges of attempted murder and assault of a police officer. In May, Waker’s tax attorney, Rob Egert, filed a motion to dismiss the allegation, alleging that the grand jury had been misled by public prosecutors.
Romain says Walker doesn’t shoot Sergeant. Jonathan Mattingley is in the thigh and a Kentucky State Police ballistics report does not support the plaintiff’s claim that a bullet that was fired at Mattingley struck Mattingley.
Romin told CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Friday, “Ballistics then came back from Kentucky State Police and determined that the officer they were claiming, Mattingley, could not determine if he had been fired from a gun.” . “
Cameron said at a news conference last week that he had announced the charges against Hankinson, in which Cameron attempted to execute a search warrant at Brona Taylor’s home as officers had no video or body D camera footage. Cameron said body camera footage begins at the point when area patrol officers arrived at the scene.
The Louisville Metro Police Department said in a statement to CNN: “We have no comment on this matter. This file has not been released by this department at this time. Our internal review of this case is ongoing and it is not appropriate to comment.”
Lawyers for Taylor’s family, when asked about the video, say they are not authorized to comment on confidential case files, which are under a protective order.
Taylor’s family’s attorney, Sam Aguirre, told a news conference Friday that there were about 50 videos from the LMPD body camera taken from the night Taylor was killed.
To date, Lewisville Metro Police Department and Kentucky State officials have maintained that police officers who drive late into the night of March 13 do not wear knock-warrants and warrant rent body cameras. The Louisville mayor’s office did not respond to a request for comment. The Kentucky Attorney General’s Office also did not return a request for comment.
