Breone Taylor’s Life = One day in jail.
The latest step from the Justice Department in the case of Breonna
Taylor, the 26-year-old Louisville, Kentucky, woman killed during a
botched police raid in 2020, reinforces that message. In 2024 a
federal jury convicted former police officer Brett Hankison of
depriving Taylor of her civil rights when he fired several shots into
her home through a covered window and glass door. While his
bullets were not the ones that killed Taylor, a jury decided that his
blind firing constituted excessive force.
On Wednesday, assistant attorney general for the civil rights unit in
the Department of Justice Harmeet Dhillon, a Trump loyalist, asked
a federal judge to sentence Hankison to a single day in jail, time he
has already served.
Civil rights lawyer and former president of the NAACP Legal
Defense and Educational Fund Sherrilyn [fill wrote: “They mean to
be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as
[resistant] to our status as full citizens in this country as they can
be.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ib5koctqxghjussex3atvqlf/bafkreigds4cutmsuwqyxxt2vipfsu3keccl2yw6dunzekkwt7cx2p5rhpi)
