(Wednesday, September 23, 2020) – A grand jury has handed up an indicted against one of the police officers in the shooting that ultimately ended in the death of Breonna Taylor. Ex Louisville officer Brett Hankison has been charged with three counts of wanton endangerment in the March 13th shooting.
Hankison is not actually charged in the death of Taylor. His charges stem from firing his weapon that ended up in adjacent apartments to Taylor. No other officers are charged in the case.
The grand jury announcement, followed by comments from state Attorney General Daniel Cameron, has angered many who had been hoping the officers would face murder charges in Taylor’s death.
Taylor’s family attorney calls grand jury result outrageous and offensive.
