The former Louisville Metro Police detective whose bullets went through Breonna Taylor's apartment and into her neighbors' unit during a botched raid in March 2020 is expected to testify at his trial Wednesday.
Brett Hankison is charged with three counts of wanton endangerment as prosecutors say he fired 10 shots blindly into Taylor's home during the raid, endangering a man, woman and her 5-year-old son next door. Hankison's attorneys have argued he acted to defend his fellow officers in a chaotic situation.
The prosecution rested Tuesday after jurors heard from 26 witnesses, including two of Taylor's neighbors.
