A Jefferson County grand jury indicted just one of the three Louisville police officers involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor.
Former detective Brett Hankison was indicted with three counts offor bullets that went into other apartments, not the ones that killed Taylor. The other two officers involved, Myles Cosgrove and Jonathan Mattingly, will not be charged.
The grand jury presented its report to Jefferson County circuit judge Annie O’Connell at 1:15pm, and its findings were soon met with outrage from many who felt Hankison’s punishment – which did not actually address Taylor’s killing at the hands of Louisville police – wasn’t severe enough and that the other officers who fired their weapons that night should face indictments as well.
