An American police officer sentenced to 33 months in prison for the death of a black woman

A former American police officer was sentenced to 33 months in prison on Monday for her involvement in the death of a young black woman, Breonna Taylor, icon of the Black Lives Matter movement, despite the recommendations of the leniency of the Ministry of Justice, report local media.

Donald Trump’s Ministry of Justice had requested last week a day in prison, already purged, against the policeman, Brett Hankison, found guilty in November 2024 by a Jury in Louisville (Center-Est) to have raped the civil rights of Breonna Taylor, 26.

A requisition qualified as “insult” by the victim’s lawyers. Breonna Taylor had been killed by at least eight bullets by the police, in her apartment, in Louisville, in Kentucky, on March 13, 2020.

The police burst into it in the middle of the night in the context of an investigation for drug trafficking targeting his former boyfriend.

His new companion had taken them for burglars and had shot with a legally detained weapon. The police had retaliated by pulling more than thirty shots, fatally touching Breonna Taylor.
