LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The large volume of evidence collected in the Breonna Taylor case prompted a judge to push back the trial date for a former Kentucky police officer who fired into Taylor’s apartment during a deadly no-knock raid in 2020. Brett Hankison’s federal court trial will be a second attempt by prosecutors to convict Hankison for endangering Taylor and her next-door neighbors.

Hankison was indicted on federal charges in August.
