Brett Hankison, a former Louisville, Kentucky police officer, was sentenced to 33 months in prison for violating the civil rights of Breonna Taylor during a botched raid in March 2020 that resulted in her death. Hankison had been convicted last year on civil rights charges related to the raid. Despite the conviction, the U.S. Justice Department, under the Trump administration, requested a one-day prison sentence for Hankison, arguing against further jail time. However, a federal judge rejected this recommendation and imposed the nearly three-year sentence. The case has drawn widespread attention due to the fatal shooting of Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, during the police operation at her home.
