Former Louisville officer sentenced to nearly 3 years in prison for excessive force in Breonna Taylor raid

Former Louisville officer Brett Hankison received a 33-month federal prison sentence for excessive force during the 2020 Breonna Taylor raid. Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings rejected the DOJ's recommendation of no prison time, emphasizing the danger Hankison's actions posed to others. While not directly responsible for Taylor's death, Hankison fired blindly into a neighboring apartment, endangering a family.
