Breonna Taylor Case: Judge Gives Ex-Cop Nearly 3 Years, Rebukes Trump's DOJ

Afederal judge on Monday sentenced former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison to nearly three years in prison for using excessive force during the deadly Breonna Taylor raid, directly rejecting the U.S. Department of Justice's recommendation of no prison time.

U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings sentenced Hankison to 33 months in prison plus three years of supervised probation, making him the first person to serve prison time in connection with Taylor's March 2020 death.
