Judge Clears Former Police Officers Of Key Felony Charges In Breonna Taylor’s Death
Kentucky: US District Judge Charles Simpson dismissed the most serious charges against two former Louisville police officers accused of falsifying the search warrant that played a key role in a sequence of events culminating in the fatal shooting of Louisville resident Breonna Taylor in her apartment in 2020. The officers were accused of knowingly providing or endorsing false information claiming that a US postal inspector confirmed that Taylor’s former boyfriend, suspected drug dealer Jamarcus Glover, was receiving packages at her home. The officers used this false information in the application for a “no-knock” warrant to search Taylor’s home, a move that set in motion the events leading to her death. However, the judge ruled that Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, who shot the first round that led to police returning fire, as the proximate cause of her death. The falsified warrant was not deemed the cause of the shootout, but rather the ‘late night’ surprise execution of the warrant led to the shooting.
Brandon Tatum, a former police officer, has an opposing view. While he agreed that the police officers used false information in the warrant, he says that there was plenty of other information on the warrant linking Breonna Taylor to her former boyfriend, suspected drug dealer Jamarcus Glover and the drug dealing operation. He suggested that she was more involved in her ex-boyfriend’s drug dealing adventures than has been reported. Tatum said that a dead body was found in a car that was rented in her name, there is evidence that the police did knock on the door, and offered other curious details in the case.
