AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Right
Afederal judge on Monday sentenced former Kentucky police officer Brett Hankison to nearly three years in prison for using excessive force during a raid on Breonna Taylor's apartment, which ultimately resulted in her death.
Hankison, who prosecutors claimed blindly fired 10 shots into Taylor's home during the raid but did not hit anyone, was the only officer charged in the raid. He was convicted of violating her civil rights last year.
