Judge rules Breonna Taylor's boyfriend caused her death, dismisses some charges against ex-officers
2024-08-24
[NYPOST] A federal judge has thrown out major felony charges against two former Louisville officers accused of falsifying a warrant that led police to Breonna Taylor's door before they fatally shot her.

U.S. District Judge Charles Simpson's ruling declared that the actions of Taylor's boyfriend, who fired a shot at police the night of the raid, were the legal cause of her death, not a bad warrant.

Federal charges against former Louisville Police Detective Joshua Jaynes and former Sgt. Kyle Meany were announced by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2022 during a high-profile visit to Louisville.

Garland accused Jaynes and Meany, who were not present at the raid, of knowing they had falsified part of the warrant and put Taylor in a dangerous situation by sending armed officers to her apartment.
Looking deeper in the archives, because I’m sure somewhere we have notes about Miss Breonna — I seem to recall she was an EMT whose current and former boyfriends were both in the recreational drugs biz, while the police executing a no-knock raid were sent to the wrong address — I came across one of Fred’s more inspired in-line extravaganzas. Enjoy, dear Readers!
Update at 11:55 a.m ET: Here’s the best summary I can find: the Louisville police raided her apartment back in March 2020 because she was holding the profits of her old boyfriend, a drug dealer, while living with her new boyfriend, another drug dealer. The new boyfriend shot at the police while hiding behind her, allowing her body to absorb the bullets aimed back at him. The police claim they knocked; someone in the Louisville PD leaked information that the address was raided because the old boyfriend was using her rental car, which had a bill with her address and phone number on it.
