TL;DR

Federal prosecutors have announced their intention to retry former Louisville officer Brett Hankison, who was charged with using excessive force the night Breonna Taylor was killed by police in 2020. A mistrial was declared last month after the jury failed to reach a unanimous decision. This would be the third attempt to prosecute Hankison, who was previously acquitted on state charges. A tentative trial date has been set for October 2024, but prosecutors are interested in retrying the case in the summer.
