Federal prosecutors argue the jury struggled with the excessive force charge and seek Hankison's release pending appeal after his 33-month sentence for the Breonna Taylor raid.
- The U.S. Department of Justice is arguing that former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison, convicted of using excessive force during the 2020 raid that killed Breonna Taylor, should be released from prison while appealing his conviction.
- Federal prosecutors requested no prison time for Hankison during his sentencing in July, but the judge sentenced him to 33 months in prison.
