Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to drop charges against two Louisville officers tied to the raid that killed Breonna Taylor. The officers have been charged with falsifying parts of the warrant used to enter Taylor’s apartment in March 2020. Judges have twice reduced a felony charge against each to a misdemeanor, saying prosecutors did not show a direct link between the false information and Taylor’s death. Police shot Taylor after they broke down her door serving a no-knock warrant and her boyfriend fired at the men. Lawyers for Detective Joshua Jaynes and former Sgt. Kyle Meany didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
