Judge Charles Simpson Dismisses Charges Against Officers, Blames Kenneth Walker in Breonna Taylor Case
Aug 24, 2024, 02:33 AM
A federal judge, Charles Simpson, has dismissed major felony charges against two former Louisville police officers involved in the Breonna Taylor case. The officers, Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany, were accused of falsifying a search warrant that led to the fatal raid on Taylor's apartment in 2020. The judge ruled that the actions of Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, who fired a shot at police during the raid, were the legal cause of her death. The ruling has sparked controversy, as it shifts the blame from the officers to Walker, who was defending himself and Taylor during the incident.
