Breonna Taylor-Officers

Federal prosecutors have asked a judge to drop the charges against two Louisville officers tied to the 2020 raid that killed Breonna Taylor. The officers have been charged with falsifying parts of the warrant used to enter Taylor’s apartment. Judges have twice reduced a felony charge against each to a misdemeanor, saying prosecutors did not show a direct link between the false information and Taylor’s death. Police shot Taylor after they broke down her door serving a no-knock warrant and her boyfriend fired at the men. Lawyers for Detective Joshua Jaynes and former Sgt. Kyle Meany say they are happy with the development and are ready to move on with their lives. Taylor's mother called the decision “utterly disrespectful.”
