布莱娜·泰勒家族
26岁的布莱娜·泰勒(Breonna Taylor)被肯塔基州路易斯维尔的警察开枪打死，据称他们执行了一项搜查令，但搜查错了家。
这起致命枪击事件引发了全国抗议，谴责警察暴行和种族主义。迄今为止，没有人因泰勒的死亡而被直接起诉，泰勒是一名26岁的注册急救医疗技术人员，这再次引发了活动人士和倡导者的骚动。
“这是令人愤慨的，冒犯了布莱娜·泰勒的记忆。这是白人警察对有色人种种族灭绝不负责任的又一个例子，”泰勒家族的律师本杰明·克伦普、萨姆·阿吉亚尔和罗尼塔·贝克在9月宣布对汉克森的指控后发表的联合声明中说。
汉克森和迈尔斯·科斯格罗维因这一事件被解雇，但乔恩·马丁利中士仍留在部队。
对泰勒死亡的联邦调查仍在进行中。
Former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison, who was charged in Breonna Taylor case, has trial delayed to 2022
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 withthree counts of wanton endangermentfor 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.
The coronavirus pandemic has delayed jury trials across the state and requirements for social distancing created logistical challenges to holding a trial, Smith said Friday according to theLouisville Courier Journal.
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced Hankison's charges in September. Hankison fired 10 shots into Taylor's apartment, but Cameron said none of his shots struck Taylor.
Hankison pleaded not guilty to those charges in September. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison, Cameron said.
Though Hankison's attorney filed a motion to change the venue of the trial due to an "avalanche of publicity" in the Taylor case,in March a judge decided to keep the trial in Jefferson County.
Hankison's next hearing is slated for July 16, 2021.
The fatal shooting sparked national protests decrying police brutality and racism. To this day, no one has been charged directly for the death of Taylor, a 26-year-old certified emergency medical technician, which reignited uproar among activists and advocates.
"This is outrageous and offensive to Breonna Taylor's memory. It's yet another example of no accountability for the genocide of persons of color by white police officers," the Taylor family's attorneys Benjamin Crump, Sam Aguiar and Lonita Baker said in a joint statement in September following the announcement of Hankison's charges.
Hankison and Myles Cosgrove were fired for the incident, however Sgt. Jon Mattingly remains on the force.
A federal investigation into Taylor's death remains ongoing.
