DOJ Recommends One-Day Sentence for Officer in Breonna Taylor Case
The Department of Justice is seeking a one-day prison sentence for Brett Hankison, a former officer convicted in the raid that resulted in the death of Breonna Taylor. Despite his conviction, the DOJ has recommended no significant prison time, which has sparked outrage and discussions around systemic racism within law enforcement. Sentencing for Hankison has been delayed multiple times, with a new date set for later this month.
