LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — A Jefferson County, Kentucky, grand jury on Wednesday declined to bring charges against three white Louisville police officers for the killing of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old African American woman who has been the focus of NBA players’ quest for justice since the NBA’s restart.
Brett Hankison was indicted on three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment in connection with the fatal shooting and his bond was set at $15,000. The charges each carry a maximum length of five years in prison. Hankison was fired from the police force in June. The other two officers — Myles Cosgrove and Jon Mattingly — were not charged in the case.
