LOUISVILLE, Ky. — For the first time ever, a former Louisville Metro Police Department officer has accepted criminal responsibility for their role in the March 2020 raid that left Breonna Taylor dead in her apartment.
Ex-Detective Kelly Goodlett, 35, pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge Tuesday afternoon at the Gene Snyder United States Courthouse in Louisville. In doing so, Goodlett admits she helped falsify the warrant affidavit for Taylor’s apartment and attempted to hide it after the fact.
Tamika Palmer, Taylor’s mother, was present in court as Goodlett admitted her guilt.
