Breonna Taylor's killer cop convicted
A FORMER US police detective has been convicted of using excessive force on Breonna Taylor during a botched 2020 raid that left her dead.
A jury returned the late-night verdict on Friday, having cleared Brett Hankison earlier in the evening of using excessive force on Ms Taylor’s neighbours.
It is the first conviction of a Louisville police officer who was involved in the deadly raid.
