A prosecutor announced Friday he is dropping felony charges against dozens of protesters who were arrested last week as they gathered at the Kentucky attorney general’s home demanding justice in the police killing of Breonna Taylor, a Black Louisville emergency medical technician who was shot inside her own home in March.
This comes as new information has emerged about Breonna Taylor’s killing. Dispatch logs from March 13 show her body lay on the ground for 20 minutes and received no medical attention, after she was shot at over 20 times. Her boyfriend, who was also in the apartment, said she coughed and struggled for her life for at least five minutes. One officer has been fired, but no charges have been filed.
