Federal prosecutors ask judge to dismiss charges against two Louisville officers accused of falsifying warrant in Breonna Taylor raid
The Justice Department under President Trump asked a federal judge Friday to dismiss charges against former Detective Joshua Jaynes and former Sgt. Kyle Meany, who were accused of falsifying the warrant that led to the 2020 raid where Breonna Taylor was killed. Judges had twice reduced felony charges against the officers to misdemeanors, finding no direct link between false warrant information and Taylor's death.
