The #Trump #DOJ requested that a #Louisville police officer #convicted in connection with a raid that resulted in #BreonnaTaylor’s death serve just one day in prison. In an unusual sentencing memo, the #FederalGovernment suggested to a #judge that the #Biden admin should not have prosecuted the officer on #CivilRights charges.#law #BlackLivesMatter #BLM #WhiteSupremacy #racism

Breaking with standard protocol, the memo was not signed by any career prosecutors but by Robert J. Keenan, a senior counsel to the #CivilRights division who was not part of the original prosecution team, & Harmeet Dhillon, the head of the division who was appointed under the #Trump admin.#BreonnaTaylor #law #BlackLivesMatter #BLM #WhiteSupremacy #racism

In Nov, a federal #jury found Brett Hankison, the #Louisville #police officer, #guilty of violating #BreonnaTaylor’s #CivilRights during a March 2020 police raid in which she was fatally shot, becoming the first officer directly involved in the case to be convicted on #criminal charges.

#BreonnaTaylor died weeks before the #Minneapolis police killing of #GeorgeFloyd. The deaths helped ignite nationwide protests seeking greater police #accountability over the use of #ExcessiveForce against #Black people.Dhillon’s memo says the #DOJ *respects* the jury’s verdict & that the conviction means Hankison will probably never be able to serve as a police officer or own a firearm.

“Although he was part of the team executing the warrant, Defendant Hankison did not shoot Ms. Taylor & is not otherwise responsible for her death,” the memo says. “Defendant Hankison did not wound her or anyone else at the scene that day, although he did discharge his duty weapon ten times blindly into Ms. Taylor’s home.”
The jury found that Hankison used #ExcessiveForce by firing 10 shots through #BreonnaTaylor’s apartment’s window & door, both covered with shades & curtains.#law #BLM

The jury, which deliberated for 3 days, found Hankison not #guilty on a second charge of violating the rights of 3 neighbors.None of the bullets fired from Hankison’s gun struck anyone, but several penetrated the apartment walls & entered an adjoining unit. #BreonnaTaylor was fatally shot by another officer after Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, fired a warning shot from a legally owned handgun & #police returned fire, investigators said.#law #BlackLivesMatter #BLM #WhiteSupremacy #racism

The #DOJ [under #Biden] prosecuted Hankison, 48, after he was acquitted in 2022 on state charges of wanton endangerment of #BreonnaTaylor’s neighbors. Hankison’s first trial on federal charges ended in a mistrial in November 2023 when the jury deadlocked, prompting federal prosecutors to announce they would retry him.#law #BlackLivesMatter #BLM #WhiteSupremacy #racism

“…counsel is unaware of another prosecution in which a police officer has been charged with depriving the rights of another person under the 4th Amendment for returning fire & not injuring anyone,”the #Trump #DOJ memo states. “Perhaps coincidentally, in this case, 2 federal trials were ultimately necessary to obtain a unanimous verdict of guilt. But even then, the jury convicted on only 1 count, despite the fact that the elements of the charge & underlying conduct are essentially the same.”#law

Before Hankison’s conviction, the only person convicted in connection with the raid was Kelly Goodlett, a former detective who pleaded guilty to federal charges that she helped falsify the #police search warrant that allowed officers to enter the apartment.#BreonnaTaylor #law #BlackLivesMatter #BLM #WhiteSupremacy #racism

@Nonilex I’m not religious … but actions and governments like this one almost make me want to believe there is a heaven where Breonna gets real justice and peace And one that clearly these fake-ass “Christians” would NOT get into
