Judge Dismisses Felony, Dangerous Weapon Charges Against Officers in Breonna Taylor Case
Aug 23, 2024, 05:44 PM
A federal judge has dismissed major felony charges against two former Louisville police officers, Joshua Jaynes and Sgt. Kyle Meany, who were accused of falsifying a search warrant that led to the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor in 2020. The charges related to submitting a false affidavit to search Taylor's home and dangerous weapon charges were dropped after the judge ruled that Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, was responsible for her death when he fired at the officers in an attempt to defend her. The decision has sparked controversy, as the officers were initially charged with submitting false information that resulted in the raid on Taylor's apartment.
