Brett Hankison, a former police officer, has been recommended for a one-day jail sentence and three years of supervised release for violating Breonna Taylor's civil rights during a botched raid. Although facing life imprisonment for shooting into her covered bedroom window in 2020, the US Department of Justice suggests a reduced sentence due to the absence of injuries. Hankison's psychological stress from trial proceedings and a clean record were cited as justifications. The conviction arose amidst broader societal context following Taylor's death, which stimulated the Black Lives Matter movement.
