Kentucky drops their criminal charges against Kenneth Walker. |
The Jefferson County prosecutor has formally dropped criminal charges against the man who fired upon three police detectives. The result killed his girlfriend, Breonna Taylor, an EMT who was caught in the crossfire of this.
Back in March, the Louisville Metro Police had a "no-knock" raid on the home of Kenneth Walker.
They came at the apartment complex at 1am and spooked Walker and Taylor.
Walker, a legal right gun owner shot at the cops. He injured one. They returned fire. They shot through the window. Eight of the bullets hit Breonna in the bedroom. She was killed on sight.
Many believe the law was given wrong information and the judge signed off to conduct the raid.
The LMPD at first claimed the two were suspected of running a dope house.
Walker was arrested on the charges of attempted murder of a police officer and first degree assault.
Walker's attorney Rob Eggert, filed a motion on Thursday to have the charges thrown out due to the fact Walker felt his life was in danger and he had a right to protect himself and his family.
The Commonwealth Attorney Tom Wine said that the feds are involved. He said that the law didn't mislead for a warrant. He felt that the evidence against Walker was insufficient to criminally charge him.
"I believe that additional investigation is necessary, I believe that the independent investigation by the Attorney General's Office of Kentucky, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney General's Office must be completed before we go forward with any prosecution," said Wine. "If after those reviews, we believe there is sufficient evidence to present this matter to the grand jury, we will do so. And if he wishes to testify before the grand jury, Kenneth Walker will be given that opportunity."
Mayor Greg Fischer said earlier this week at a news conference he said that Breonna's death is a tragedy.
The LMPD detectives weren't wearing body cameras and they were plain clothes at the time.
Also the chief of LMPD was forced to retire. Steve Conrad was forced out by the city because of the recent incidents involving his police force. The LMPD had a history of brutal treatment towards people of color and this incident was the last straw.

FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!
I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others.
