Ex-Louisville officer sentenced to 33 months in relation to Breonna Taylor’s killing

A former Louisville police officer convicted of violating Breonna Taylor’s civil rights during a police raid in which she was killed was sentenced Monday to 33 months in prison, a ruling that came after the Trump administration said last week that the case should not have been prosecuted.

U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings issued her decision during a sentencing hearing attended by Brett Hankison’s defense lawyers and members of Taylor’s family, who had demanded a long jail sentence. Hankison will face three years of supervised release after serving his sentence, the judge said.
