What Happened to Breonna Taylor? What We Know About the Case and Her Death

 Breonna Taylor was a 26 year EMT from Louisville, Kentucky who was killed in her own home by Detective Brett Hankison, Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly and Detective Myles Cosgrove. They issue a no-knock warrant and forced themselves him into the wrong house. Her boyfriend shot at the officers thinking they were intruders and she was sadly shot six times. Her case did not receive national attention until two months later during the BLM movement and a couple days ago Detective Brett Hankison, Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly and Detective Myles Cosgrove had their hearing against the jury.  Detective Brett Hankison was indicted on three counts of wanton endangerment, however none related to Breonna Taylor's death. The other two officers were not charged.
