U.S.
Judge rules Breonna Taylor's boyfriend caused her death, throws out major charges against ex-Louisville officers

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.

But Simpson wrote in the Tuesday ruling that "there is no direct link between the warrantless entry and Taylor's death." Simpson's ruling effectively reduced the civil rights violation charges against Jaynes and Meany, which had carried a maximum sentence of life in prison, to misdemeanors.

No direct link?

Sounds like that judge pulled some bullshit out of his ass just so he could protect those cops. It's corruption like this in our system that is sending this country to hell in a handbasket.

 

If I were to swat you, call the police and make up some lie that sends them to you house with guns drawn, and that results in you being killed, I promise you I would be charged with manslaughter. My illegal act, resulted in your death. I don't see how this is any different.

Hopefully this ruling is appealed.

 

It totally needs to be appealed.

If the police breaks into someone's house without a warrant who has a gun for protection, that person is going to think there is an intruder, and use that gun to protect themselves and their family.

The Cops busting in without a warrant set off the chain of events, that led to her death, not the boyfriend. They are responsible and there is a direct link.

 

Umm no

 

India??
