The U.S. Justice Department is recommending an ex-Kentucky police officer convicted of using excessive force during the deadly Breonna Taylor raid should serve no prison time. Brett Hankison is the only officer who fired his weapon the night of the March 2020 botched drug raid who has faced criminal charges. His shots didn’t hit or injure anyone. Taylor was shot to death by two other officers. A federal judge will decide Hankison’s sentence on Monday at a hearing. Federal prosecutors asked the judge to sentence him to time served, which amounts to one day, and three years of supervised probation.
