Charges permanently dropped against Breonna Taylor's boyfriend

[mandrill]

Wikipedia is NOT known for its accuracy

you do NOT get to tell me what I can or can not say who do you think you are?

its a fact she was NOT in her bed when shot as the media reported so if they lied about that what else is a lie?

well the media also falsely reported

she was an EMT at the time
she was shot 8 times
police were at wrong apartment

well none of that changes anything my point is the media reported false information and ran with it
Fact checking 8 myths in Breonna Taylor case: Was she asleep when police shot her? Is there body-cam footage? (msn.com)

She was shot 6 times instead of 8 when she was unarmed and hiding in her own home. So you "win" that argument. right?

The cops were at the "right" apartment. But the warrant was so sketchy it should never have been granted.

The search warrant included Taylor's residence because it was suspected that Glover received packages containing drugs there, might have been "keeping narcotics and/or proceeds from the sale of narcotics"[41] there, and because a car registered to Taylor had been seen parked in front of Glover's house several times.[15][43] Specifically, the warrant alleges that in January 2020, Glover left Taylor's apartment with an unknown package, presumed to contain drugs, and took it to a known drug apartment soon afterward. The warrant states that this event was verified "through a US Postal Inspector". In May 2020, the U.S. postal inspector in Louisville publicly announced that the collaboration with law enforcement had never actually occurred. The postal office said it was actually asked by a different agency to monitor packages going to Taylor's apartment, but after doing so, it concluded, "There's [sic] no packages of interest going there." This public revelation put the investigation and especially the warrant into question and resulted in an internal investigation.[44]

The warrant was applied for by LMPD detective Joshua C. Jaynes among a total of five warrants approved the preceding day by Jefferson County Circuit Judge Mary M. Shaw "within 12 minutes",[45] and which was stamped as filed with the court clerk's office on April 2.[46][47] All five warrants contain similar language involving a justification for no-knock entry that concludes with "due to the nature of how these drug traffickers operate".[45] Christopher Slobogin, director of Vanderbilt University's Criminal Justice Program, said that unless police had a reason to suspect that Taylor's residence had surveillance cameras "a no-knock warrant would be improper."[45] Brian Gallini, a professor at the University of Arkansas, also expressed skepticism about the warrant, writing that if it was appropriate in this particular search, "then every routine drug transaction would justify grounds for no-knock".[45]


Jaynes said that before the raid on Taylor's apartment Mattingly told him that the Shively PD had reported that the United States Postal Service had not delivered any suspicious packages to that address.[48][49] Jaynes was reassigned from his duties with the LMPD in June.[45]

According to The New York Times, before the execution of the no-knock warrant, orders were changed to "knock and announce".[50][11]

According to police grand-jury testimony, the warrant was never executed and Taylor's apartment was not searched for drugs or money after the shooting.[10][16] More than a month after the shooting, Glover was offered a plea deal if he would testify that Taylor was part of his drug dealing operations. Prosecutors said that that offer was in a draft of the deal but later removed. Glover rejected the deal.[40][42]

Breanna Taylor was not an EMT. You're on a real winner roll with that one. See below:

Breonna Taylor worked for University of Louisville Health as a full-time ER technician[31][32][33] and was a former emergency medical technician.

She was a full time ER technician. That's a real game-changer. She clearly deserved to be shot.

Yeah, and who would believe Wikipedia when you have Ann Coulter as a source?!

Something for you to look forward to and post about on TERB.

I don't obsess about scumbag drug dealers

I don't obsess about scumbag drug dealers

I'm glad to hear that, JC. I know you reserve your obsessions for other topics.

There's no evidence btw that the boyfriend dealt drugs. Or maybe you were just making a general statement as a "status update" to keep us in the loop?

He may have still done drug deals. He was killed before it came to trial. He was offered a plea deal if he implicated her and refused it.

It's debatable whether she assisted him. He refused to implicate her and he said that she took care of all his money and paid his bills. The cops claimed that illegal packages were delivered to her address, but the Post Office refuted that and said the cops got it wrong. If she simply keeps his cash safe and gives it back to him, then she isn't engaged in money laundering. If she "suspects" but doesn't actually and specifically know his money came from drug deals, she probably doesn't have the requisite mens rea for possession of the proceeds of crime.

The cops didn't find anything in her place. They say they didn't search it - which is bizarre, given that they got a warrant and killed her to get into her residence. I suspect they lied about this as well and searched it top to bottom to try and find something that would make them look good and when they located zilch, they were simply embarrassed about the whole fuck up.

She sounds like a hard-working decent young woman who MAY HAVE agreed to hold his drug money - and his other money - and pay his bills, presumably because the guy was either erratic with money or ran the risk of being heisted for his cash by his erstwhile associates.
