Federal prosecutors argued in court that a former Louisville police detective's actions were akin to a 'drive-by shooting' when he fired 10 bullets into Breonna Taylor's apartment the night she was fatally shot by police. The detective, Brett Hankison, faced a federal retrial on charges that his shots violated the civil rights of Taylor and her neighbors.
During closing statements, prosecutors highlighted that Hankison couldn't see his target when he fired the shots during the 2020 raid. The jury, consisting of six men and six women, began deliberating on the charges that could lead to a maximum sentence of life in prison if Hankison is convicted.
