A jury began deliberations Monday afternoon at the federal trial of a former Louisville police detective accused of violating Breonna Taylor's civil rights by opening fire on her apartment the night she was killed during a botched raid.
The jury received the case on a day when the former officer, Brett Hankison, was grilled by a federal prosecutor over his actions at the time the 26-year-old Black woman was killed. Taylor was shot to death by police after they knocked down the door of her apartment on March 13, 2020.
