Publishing company Simon & Schuster announced it will not distribute a book written by one of the Louisville police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor.
Jonathan Mattingly, who participated in a police raid that led to the death of Taylor, got a book deal with Post Hill Press, a Tennessee-based print and e-book publishing house. However, the company's distributor, Simon & Schuster – a division of ViacomCBS – scrapped plans to distribute it. "Like much of the American public, earlier today Simon & Schuster learned of plans by distribution client Post Hill Press to publish a book by Jonathan Mattingly," the company said in a statement on Twitter. "We have subsequently decided not to be involved in the distribution of this book."More Related News
