As of today, August 10th, 150 days have passed since Breonna Taylor was wrongfully murdered in her home in Louisville, Kentucky by Brett Hankison, Jonathan Mattingly, and Myles Cosgrove. To this day, none of the officers have faced criminal charges and all of them walk freely. While the FBI is conducting an investigation into this case, their findings likely will not be released until after Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announces whether he will pursue prosecution against the three officers.
