- A federal judge dismissed major felony charges against two former Louisville officers, ruling that Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend firing a shot was the legal cause of her death, not the flawed warrant.
- The judge reduced civil rights charges against the officers to misdemeanors but upheld some lesser charges, with a trial still pending.
- The U.S. Justice Department is reviewing the decision, while a third officer involved has already pleaded guilty to conspiracy and will testify.
Hate to say it, but I called it back when this happened. Shooting at the cops NEVER gets you an expected outcome.
That being said, the no-knock warrant was the reason the cops got shot at.
The bad warrant was the reason for the no-knock raid.
The judge only stopped looking for root cause at step 1.
