Ex-LMPD detective Brett Hankison sentenced to 33 months in prison
A federal judge sentenced former Louisville Police detective Brett Hankison to 33 months in prison for the shots he fired during the fatal 2020 raid on Breonna Taylor's apartment.
The July 21 sentence was in defiance of a last-minute request from federal prosecutors that Hankison receive only a one-day sentence.
Western District of Kentucky Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings said she was “troubled” by the prosecutors' July 16 sentencing memorandum, as well as their arguments towards leniency in court on Monday.
“The seriousness of this crime is obvious,” she said at one point.
