The federal civil rights trial of a former Louisville, Kentucky, police officer charged in the 2020 death of Breonna Taylor, a black woman whose death fueled a wave of protests, was declared a mistrial on Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings declared the mistrial in the trial of Brett Hankison—charged with civil rights violations for allegedly using excessive force—after the jury told her they could not reach an unanimous verdict.
