Federal Prosecutors Seek Retrial for Brett Hankison in Breonna Taylor Shooting Case

Federal prosecutors have announced plans to retry former Louisville Metro Police Department officer Brett Hankison on federal civil rights charges for firing his gun during the botched raid at Breonna Taylor's apartment. A mistrial was declared in his previous trial after the jury was deadlocked on both charges. A tentative trial date has been set for October of next year, and Hankison's attorney has filed a motion for acquittal, claiming insufficient evidence. If found guilty, Hankison could face up to life in prison.
