""We are elated with this development," said Travis Lock, an attorney for Jaynes."
"Meany's lawyer, Michael Denbow, said he is "incredibly grateful for today's filing." Meany "is looking forward to putting this matter behind him and moving forward with his life," he said."
"Taylor, 26, was shot to death by police when they broke down the door of her apartment while serving a no-knock drug warrant looking for a former boyfriend who was no longer there."
"Six years on, activists continue to point to Taylor's killing as an example of the systemic injustice Black women face."
Federal prosecutors have filed a request to dismiss charges against two Louisville officers accused of falsifying the warrant that led to Breonna Taylor's death. The review indicated that the charges against former Detective Joshua Jaynes and former Sgt. Kyle Meany should be dismissed in the interest of justice. Judges previously reduced felony charges to misdemeanors, stating no direct link between the false warrant information and Taylor's death. Activists continue to highlight Taylor's case as an example of systemic injustice against Black women.
