\nAfter a federal judge dismissed the most serious charges against them, two former Louisville Metro Police officers are indicted again in the Breonna Taylor case.<\/p>\n
\nAfter a federal judge dismissed the most serious charges against them, two former Louisville Metro Police officers are indicted again in the Breonna Taylor case.<\/p>\n
The superseding indictment filed on Tuesday amends the original indictments against Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany.<\/p>\n
Both former officers are accused of depriving Taylor of her rights. Jaynes is facing two additional charges of conspiracy and falsification of records in a federal investigation. Meany is also charged with providing a false statement to federal investigators.<\/p>\n
Jaynes was a detective in the Place-Based Investigations (PBI) unit, and Meany was a Sergeant in the unit.<\/p>\n
Federal prosecutors argued Jaynes falsified the warrant that led officers to Taylor’s home, and Meany approved it, knowing it contained false information.<\/p>\n
Additionally, they argued Jaynes and Meany “planned to execute the warrant in a manner that heightened the risk of gunfire” by executing it at night and at the same time as the other raids on Elliott Avenue.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors also said Meany knew Taylor’s boyfriend at the time had a concealed carry deadly weapon permit, and didn’t make note of that in the warrant affidavit or tell the officers who executed the warrant. <\/p>\n
The new indictment comes after federal Judge Charles Simpson ruled the warrant was not the cause of Taylor’s death.
