Breonna Taylor's boyfriend found responsible for her death as judge dismisses major f
Quote:A federal judge has ruled that the death of Breonna Taylor was caused by her boyfriend, who first shot at police officers the day she died, and threw out the core felony charges against former Louisville Police Detective Joshua Jaynes and former Sgt. Kyle Meany, who were accused of producing a false arrest warrant.
US District Judge Charles Simpson’s ruling wrote that the actions of Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, were to blame instead in the resulting death, per the New York Post. The Biden-Harris Department of Justice sought federal charges against the officers in 2022 after the high-profile 2020 case that many activists took up as a cause during the BLM protests and riots.
Attorney General Merrick Garland accused Jaynes and Meany, who were not there the day of the shooting, of knowingly making a false warrant that would put Taylor in a dangerous situation, leading to her death when officers shot back at Walker. Judge Simpson wrote in the opinion “There is no direct link between the warrantless entry and Taylor’s death."
The ruling reduced the falsified warrant and civil rights violation charges against Jaynes and Meany to misdemeanors instead of felonies. Simpson, however, declined to dismiss a conspiracy charge against Jaynes as well as a charge against Meany, who has been accused of making false statements to investigators in the case.
When other officers, aside from Jaynes and Meany, entered the dwelling with the suspected false warrant in March 2020, Walker shot one of the officers in the leg, Walker said that he thought it was an intruder coming through the door. Officers returned fire, fatally shooting Taylor, 26, in the hallway. Judge Simpson wrote that Walker’s actions "became the proximate, or legal, cause of Taylor’s death.”
“While the indictment alleges that Jaynes and Meany set off a series of events that ended in Taylor’s death, it also alleges that (Walker) disrupted those events when he decided to open fire” on police officers, the decision added.
The Biden-Harris DOJ has said that it will be “reviewing the judge’s decision and assessing next steps" if needed.

This is odd because the DOJ usually loves bogus, no-knock warrants. Weird they would try to prosecute one.

Too bad the idiot mayor of Louisville at the time gave $12 million of taxpayer money to her family for her wrongful death right after it happened.

I can't believe it's a misdemeanor for police to make up a warrant and raid your house in the middle of the night. That's some KGB stuff right there.

Odd that it’s the boyfriend’s fault. When unidentified people kick down your door in the middle of the night shooting at them is the reasonable response.

That's par for the course for the Louisville Police Department. The worst police department in the country. Take a moment and Google "Jimmy Harper and the Louisville police department." I went to high school with Jimmy and his wife. Jimmy made the mistake of telling police leadership what they needed to hear and was fired for it.
If any police department needs to be closed down and rebuilt it's Louisvilles.
That's not an indictment of the rank and file. Most of the officers on the street are good people. It's the leadership of the department that's toxic.

1. They identified. They had a no knock warrant, but they knocked and announced anyway.
2. He basically used Breonna as a human shield while shooting at cops. So no, not surprising he would be the cause of her death.
