Brett HacisonA former Kentki police officer who was convicted for death Brunna Taylor, The 26 -year -old emergency medical technician was sentenced to a 33 -month prison on Monday.
Taylor was shot dead on 13 March 2020 during a bottled drug rah, authorized by Louisville Metro Police Department. At that time, a Louisville detective, 46 -year -old Hanison, was found guilty for violating Taylor’s civil rights last November, while a search warrant was carried out at his house, resulting in a tragedy.
According to the Associated Press, Hanison will not report directly to jail, US District Judge Rebecca Jenings on Monday sentenced that the bureau’s bureau will decide when his sentence will begin, according to the Associated Press. Three years will be monitored after his jail sentence.
The Department of Justice requested in a punishment memo after the guilty of Hanison that he would be sentenced over time, which will happen Only one day in jailThis was followed by three years of monitoring. According to the Associated Press, Jennings sentenced that no prison time punishment for Hanison is “not appropriate,” according to the Associated Press.
Jennings criticized the Memo, the sentence of the Department of Justice, called it “inconsistent and unfair” and said that the department treated Nanisson’s works “an inconsistent crime”, AP said.
The lawyers representing Taylor’s family said in a statement after the sentence, “Today’s punishment is not what we expected to fully reflect the seriousness of the loss -it is more than the Department of Justice.” Jury found Brett Hankison guilty, and the decision was eligible to meet with real accountability. “
“Tamika Palmer asked for a punishment in accordance with the federal guidelines and laws. We respect the court’s decision, but we will continue the failure of the DOJ to stand firm behind the rights of Bronna and the rights of every black woman, to continue the failure of the DOJ, whose life is considered to be expensive,” said the lawyers.
The hearing sentence attracted a mob outside the federal courthouse in Louisville city, and at least four people, including Taylor’s aunt, Bianka Austin, were detained on Monday afternoon, CBS affiliated Wlky Informed
Police said that the individuals were “creating conflicts, kicking vehicles” and “creating an unsafe environment.” It was not immediately clear whether the allegations would be filed.
There were still protesters when a federal jury in Louisville convicted Hanison on a count of misuse of civil rights last year. He was accused of depriving Taylor of his constitutional rights, when he was separated from other officials at the scene, using excessive force to firing several shots through a slipping glass door and window on the side of his building, both of them covered with blinds and curtains.
The jury found that Hanasison used a dangerous weapon when he committed a crime and involved to kill him in his actions, although the shots he had fired did not strike Taylor, the US Department of Justice said after his sentence. He initially faced a second count to deprive Taylor’s neighbors of his constitutional rights, as his bullets hole through the walls and recalled a family of three in the nearby apartments, but the gamblers did not find him guilty in that charge.
Hankisan requested not to be guilty in each charge.
Civil rights Attorney Ben Serp, who represents Taylor’s family, called the justice department request for minimal punishment, “insulting Bronna Taylor’s life and a betrayal of the jury’s decision was a betrayal.”
“It sets a dangerous example,” Serp said in a statement responding to the memo. “When a police officer is found guilty of violating someone’s constitutional rights, there should be real accountability and justice. Just recommending just one day in jail sends surefire messages that white officers can violate the civil rights of black Americans, which are in total impurities.”
Taylor’s death provoked a national outrage and publicly contributed significantly to the period of repetition, after which critics said that there was systemic racial injustice and police cruelty in the US, when after he was killed, the police found no evidence of drugs inside his house.

The evidence presented during the testing of Hanison revealed that he and two colleagues, former Louisville officials Jonathan Mattingly and Miles Cosgrove, reached Taylor’s house at 12:45 pm on the deadly shooting, while he and his lover, Kenneth Walker were sleeping. Assuming that the intruders were broken into the residence, the walker fired a bullet with his gun, which had made a mistake for the citizens. The shot injured Mattingly and motivated the three officers to set the apartment on fire.
Two other Louisville officer, former detective Joshua Jenes and former Sergeant. Kyle Pisces is also facing allegations on Taylor’s death. Jaynes and Meiny are accused of giving and authorizing an affidavit for an affidavit for justice to join federal civil rights crimes and justice, which eventually shot.
Another former Louisville officer, Kelly Gudlet, has blamed Janes and Pisces for a count of a conspiracy to help obtain warrants. The tests for jaynes and mean are not yet.
