The charges stem from a botched March 13, 2020, raid of Taylor’s home in the middle of the night, in which police officers busted down her door to serve a search warrant related to a drug dealer who lived ten miles away.
U.S. District Court Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings said there had been a “concern” that bringing in a whole new legal team would be a problem in keeping the case on track, but now “the understanding is we are going forward on that day.”
Hankison faces federal charges, accused of civil rights violations and excessive force during the raid on Breonna Taylor's apartment in March 2020.
