There’s an important update to report concerning the killing of Breonna Taylor.
Back in August, a federal judge ruled that two former Louisville police officers, Joshua Jaynes, and Kyle Meany, were not responsible for the violent death of Breonna Taylor even though they allegedly falsified information in order to obtain the search warrant of her home. The execution of said warrant directly led to a barrage of bullets being fired into the home, killing Taylor.
Instead, U.S. District Court Judge Charles Simpson decided it was Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, who caused her death by firing a single shot at officers who he thought were intruders trying to break into their apartment.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Justice filed new charges against Jaynes and Meany, who are still facing federal charges connected to the botched raid, in an effort to get around Simpon’s ruling, which resulted in the dismissal of the most serious charges against the two ex-officers, according to WDRB.
