U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings dismissed the suggestion that 24 hours in prison is suitable and handed Louisville Police Officer Brett Hankison 33 months in prison with an additional 3 years of supervised release.
Breonna Taylor was one of the catalysts for the most widespread protest movements in modern times. Her death at the hands of Louisville, Kentucky, police officers alongside the public execution of George Floyd at the hands of Derek Chauvin sparked enough anger and outrage to incite millions of Americans into the streets to demand justice.
"Say Her Name: Breonna Taylor" airs on Friday and includes never-before-seen footage of Taylor, and features interviews with her loved ones who are still reeling from the senseless tragedy eight months later.
