- On Monday, U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings in Louisville sentenced Brett Hankison for violating Breonna Taylor’s civil rights.

- From the courthouse steps, Tamika Palmer said `I feel like we got something. I don’t think it was a fair sentencing, but it was a start`, as protests erupted outside the federal courthouse.
- More than four years after Taylor’s killing sparked nationwide protests, the sentence marks a rare instance of police accountability, and activists call it a crack in the wall of impunity.
