Brett Hankison

A federal jury in Louisville found former Louisville Metro Police detective Brett Hankison guilty late Friday of depriving Breonna Taylor of her civil rights.

Jurors began deliberations Wednesday in the retrial of former Louisville police detective Brett Hankison.

Federal prosecutors spent two-and-a-half hours questioning Brett Hankison on the last day of his retrial. Also, the question of whether Breonna Taylor was alive when he fired into the home could have implications for one of the charges in the case.

Federal prosecutors rested their case Thursday, the fourth day of testimony in the retrial of Brett Hankison, a former detective accused of blindly firing shots into Breonna Taylor’s apartment in March 2020.

The retrial for ex-LMPD officer Brett Hankison continued, as the prosecution called a crime scene investigator, an FBI agent and a former SWAT commander to the stand on Tuesday.

The retrial of Brett Hankison, one of the former Louisville police officers who was part of the botched raid at Breonna Taylor’s home in 2020, was underway Monday.

A federal judge declared a mistrial Thursday afternoon after a jury deadlocked on civil rights charges against a former Louisville police officer who fired stray bullets in the deadly raid that left Breonna Taylor dead.

The federal trial of former Louisville detective Brett Hankison is drawing to a close. Prosecutors and defense attorneys on Monday attempted to frame the evidence they presented to jurors over the past two weeks, just before the judge sent the 12-member jury out to deliberate.

The U.S. Department of Justice indicted former LMPD officer Brett Hankison on two federal civil rights charges last month.

Breonna Taylor’s family has their hopes pinned on federal charges against the officers involved in the raid that ended with her death.
