A federal judge tossed charges against two Louisville police officers who killed Breonna Taylor in 2020, dismissing claims that they attempted to search her home, and ultimately shot her, on a falsified warrant — shifting the blame to her boyfriend instead.
U.S. District Judge Charles Simpson wrote that the actions of Kenneth Walker, who shot at officers when they broke down the door to Taylor’s home after they failed to identify themselves — leading him to believe they were intruders — were the legal cause of death for Taylor.
