Judge rules Breonna Taylor's boyfriend caused her death, throws out charges against cops

A federal judge has thrown out major felony charges against two former Louisville officers accused of falsifying a warrant that led police to Breonna Taylor's door before they fatally shot her.
U.S. District Judge Charles Simpson's ruling declared that the actions of Taylor's boyfriend, who fired a shot at police the night of the raid, were the legal cause of her death, not a bad warrant.
Federal charges against former Louisville Police Detective Joshua Jaynes and former Sgt. Kyle Meany were announced by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2022 during a high-profile visit to Louisville. Garland accused Jaynes and Meany, who were not present at the raid, of knowing they had falsified part of the warrant and put Taylor in a dangerous situation by sending armed officers to her apartment.
But Simpson wrote in the Tuesday ruling that "there is no direct link between the warrantless entry and Taylor's death." Simpson's ruling effectively reduced the civil rights violation charges against Jaynes and Meany, which had carried a maximum sentence of life in prison, to misdemeanors.

Man, it’s almost as if we tried to completely upend the entire judicial system on bad information propagated by the media, shitbag politicians, and political activists.

Not to venture too far off topic, but that gif is 8 years old and I still laugh at it every time. Definitely one of the best gifs of the past decade.

I know folks here will be all about this because of the protests after her death, but I can’t say I’m a fan of setting the precedent that it’s ok to falsify information on a warrant (which is what Jaynes did) to even have the raid in the first place.

They're still facing charges, just misdemeanors.

Didn’t they find a dead body in his trunk or something like that?

they let the case cause riots 4 years ago due to media misinformation, now they wait 4 years before the next election to “overturn it” likely leading to more riots
now, who is “they”? it’s awfully suspicious

Lying to get a warrant + no-knock raid = a bad outcome

So a misdemeanor for lying on a warrant that resulted in someone’s death.
Again, I know y’all will be excited for this because of the political angle but this just further emboldens bad police. And that’s never a win for anyone.

The court of public opinion was really, really racist
