Former Louisville Metro Police Detective Brett Hankison is charged with wanton endangerment, accused of firing "blindly" into Taylor's apartment with some of those bullets ending up in neighboring apartments.
Lawyers in the trial of a former Louisville Metro Police detective involved in the deadly narcotics raid that left Breonna Taylor dead will return to court Tuesday to finish an extended jury selection process.
Hankison's attorney told jurors "You’re going to find that he was justified, his actions were reasonable given the chaotic situation he was in."
