The trial for a former Louisville police officer charged in connection with Breonna Taylor's shooting has been pushed back to February 1, 2022, according to a pre-trial hearing held in Kentucky's Jefferson County on Friday.
Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Ann Bailey Smith postponed the trial of Brett Hankison from its original date of August 31, 2021, saying the new date was "the most realistic" one that she had because of a backlog of delayed trials due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Taylor, a 26-year-old aspiring nurse, was shot and killed by Louisville officers in her own home during a botched police raid in March 2020.More Related News
