Felony Charges Tossed Against Two Former Cops Charged in Breonna Taylor Killing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Kentucky, a federal judge has thrown out felony charges against two
former Louisville police officers connected to the fatal police shooting
of Breonna Taylor in her own home over four years ago. The two officers
had been accused of falsifying a warrant that led to the fatal police
raid on Taylor's apartment. The officers, Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany,
were not at the scene of the shooting in March 2020. We'll have more on
this later in the broadcast.
