The criminal trial for former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison, who faces charges for his role in the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor, has been pushed back to next year. Hankison was charged with three counts of wanton endangerment for firing multiple shots that entered a neighbor's apartment and endangered three people on March 13, 2020. He and Louisville Metro Police Department officers Myles Cosgrove and Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly fired a barrage of 32 shots into Taylor's apartment while serving a "no-knock" warrant and Taylor was killed. During a hearing Friday, Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Ann Bailey Smith moved his trial to Feb. 1, 2022, pushing it five months back from its original date set for Aug. 31, 2021.
