Police officer found guilty in Breonna Taylor’s case receives a 33-month prison term.

A former Kentucky police officer has been sentenced to 33 months in prison after being convicted in connection with a raid that resulted in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor, a black woman, in her home.

A federal jury last year found Brett Hankison guilty of violating Taylor’s civil rights by using excessive force. The maximum sentence for the charge was life in prison.

The sentencing comes days after the Trump administration asked the judge to give Hankison a one-day sentence – a position that starkly contrasts with the approach to the case under President Joe Biden.

Hankison is the only officer who has been charged and convicted directly in connection with the botched raid.

Another former officer, Kelly Goodlett, who pleaded guilty to conspiring with a colleague to falsify the affidavit used to obtain a search warrant for Taylor’s home and to cover up their actions after her death, will be sentenced next year.

After his sentence, Hankison will face three years of supervised release.

Tamika Palmer, Taylor’s mother, and lawyers for the family spoke after the sentencing on Monday.
