In Kentucky, a jury found former police officer Brett Hankison guilty of using excessive force and violating the civil rights of Breonna Taylor during the raid that killed Taylor inside her own home in 2020. Taylor was a Black, 26-year-old emergency room technician. It’s the first conviction of any of the Louisville police officers involved in the botched raid. A judge will sentence Hankison on March 12, just one day ahead of the fifth anniversary of Breonna Taylor’s death. He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
