Brett Hankison Faces Federal Retrial in Breonna Taylor Case
News summary

The murder trial of former Columbus police officer Adam Coy is set to commence, stemming from the December 2020 shooting of unarmed Black man Andre Hill. Coy faces multiple charges, including murder, and the trial follows a significant $10 million settlement with Hill's family. Meanwhile, former Louisville officer Brett Hankison, involved in the 2020 police raid that led to Breonna Taylor's death, is undergoing his third trial for civil rights violations after previous trials ended in mistrials or acquittals. Prosecutors argue Hankison's reckless actions endangered Taylor and her neighbors during the raid, while defense claims he acted in self-defense. The jury in Hankison's trial is predominantly white, mirroring previous trials, and the prosecution is seeking to introduce evidence of his aggressive behavior from past operations. Both cases highlight ongoing concerns regarding police conduct and accountability in the U.S.
