Brett Hankison to be sentenced Monday in federal court in Breonna Taylor case

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Former LMPD officer Brett Hankison is expected to be sentenced in federal court Monday afternoon.

The U.S. Department of Justice recommended Hankison avoid prison and instead be placed on supervised release after being found guilty of using excessive force and violating the civil rights of Breonna Taylor in a botched police raid of her home in 2020.

Hankison is facing several years in prison after a jury in November acquitted the former Louisville police officer of violating the civil rights of Taylor's neighbors, but guilty of violating Taylor's civil rights.

In a sentencing memorandum filed last week, federal prosecutors recommended one day incarceration, which Hankison will get credit for from the day he was booked, a three-year term of supervision, and a $100 fee. He also agreed to provide his DNA.

Hankison has been out on bond since his conviction.

U.S. District Court Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings will hand down a sentence at 1:30 p.m.
