A federal judge has dismissed charges against two former Louisville police officers accused of falsifying the warrant used to enter Breonna Taylor’s apartment the night police shot her to death. Charles Simpson, a US district judge, issued a one-page ruling on Friday throwing out charges against Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany, two former officers involved in crafting the Taylor warrant. Federal prosecutors in the Trump administration asked a judge recently to dismiss charges against the former officers “in the interest of justice”. Prosecutors noted that the court had already removed some felony charges against Jaynes and Meany in previous proceedings. The warrant used to enter Taylor’s apartment alleged she was receiving packages for a suspected drug dealer and former boyfriend.
