Kenneth Walker's attorney argues against self-defense claim in Breonna Taylor shooting

came down from bread Hankinson. He has been fired from the Louisville Metro Police Department. Three counts of wanton endangerment in the first degree. You say those air from shooting into neighbors apartments not into Briana Taylor's apartment. His case has now been assigned to Division 13. Bond is set at $15 full cash. What happens now in this case, Steve? Most likely, they already had an agreement for what the bond is and he'll post the bond and not be arrested. Uh, and then he'll appear in court for arraignment, in which he'll interplay and not guilty. At which point in time the case will be set for a pretrial discovery will be provided and will be set for a trial. Uh, but you know what? What could you know? Their Class D felonies? He could easily be given what's called diversion, which means it's like traffic school for felonies. He doesn't if he doesn't get any trouble, then he's, you know, not actually convicted of a felony doesn't go to jail on it. Those type things and the reason I say this because we saw in a couple of weeks ago Detective Mark Watson, who had committed perjury and sent a couple people to prison, uh, in death penalty cases. And he got convicted in a You know, the prosecution says, Well, we'll just give him probation And Judge Stephen says You send people to prison based on perjured testimony you have to go to. They get a different set of rules than everybody else gets, and that has to change. This case will not necessarily go to trial against him. Uh, I would be surprised if it goes to trial, because one of the things I believe, um, that is going on is is is they're trying to make sure that the evidence in the case does not is not made public. That's one of the reasons they resolve the case with, uh, civil case with Briana Taylor's family for for that amount and so quickly is because it only gets worse. The evidence in the case is much worse than what is has already been published, and part of that agreement was that her attorneys had to destroy any evidence that they had received. What's the purpose of that? Why are you trying to keep information from the public? And so I will be surprised if they don't try to get a gag order on the criminal discovery in this case is well, uh, to keep all the information, uh, private and sealed.

The attorney for Kenneth Walker, the boyfriend of Breonna Taylor, gave his take on Wednesday's announcement to not charge any of the officers in the direct killing of the 26-year-old, including why he doesn't believe self-defense stacks up in the case.Steven Romines joined 비바카지노 Viva-TV on Wednesday during continuous coverage of the Taylor announcement by Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron.The AG's decision was one that was months in the making, resulting in only one officer being indicted, but for shooting into a neighboring apartment during the March raid of Taylor's home. Former Louisville Metro police officer Brett Hankison was charged with three counts of wanton endangerment."It was impossible not to charge Hankison with wanton endangerment," Romines said. "When you blindly fire into apartments like that, you have to be charged. But they didn't want to charge (him) with the murder of Breonna Taylor."The decision is one that left many activists and community organizations who have been calling for justice in the shooting disappointed in the outcome.The decision also means that the two other officers at the center of the probe have been cleared of any wrongdoing and were found justified in opening fire.Based on this evidence, Cameron said neither Mattingly nor Cosgrove's actions fit any of the six types of homicides. He said he and the grand jury agreed that they were justified in shooting since Walker, admittedly, fired first."They say they were acting in self-defense. You are not allowed to blindly fire and kill a third-party," Romines said. "You are only allowed to use self-defense when an identifiable target is shooting at you. But we know from the evidence that was not Breonna Taylor."Romines found issue with the self-defense claim without it going to a jury."The other thing about that is self-defense claims are presented at trial. You get indicted, and you got a claim of self-defense. You present it to a jury, and a jury decides if there is reasonable doubt you acted in self-defense. In this case, they just (decided) they did and let it go," he said.Romines said the self-defense claim has been exploited when it comes to police shootings."We have created this heightened self-defense claim for cops. If a cop shoots you, and says, 'I was in fear for my safety,' nothing ever happens to them," Romines said.While Mattingly and Cosgrove will not face any criminal charges in the shooting, both -- plus Hankison -- are still the subjects of a probe by the FBI to determine if there were any Civil Rights violations. The Louisville Metro Police Department's Professional Standards Unit is also conducting its own internal investigation on Mattingly, Cosgrove and four other officers.Click here to read more about the decision in the Taylor shooting. Walker was arrested immediately following the raid and charged with attempted murder of a police officer. A couple of weeks later, he was released on home incarceration and charges were dropped in May, but without prejudice, meaning he could still be charged again at a later date.

The AG's decision was one that was months in the making, resulting in only one officer being indicted, but for shooting into a neighboring apartment during the March raid of Taylor's home. Former Louisville Metro police officer Brett Hankison was charged with three counts of wanton endangerment.

"It was impossible not to charge Hankison with wanton endangerment," Romines said. "When you blindly fire into apartments like that, you have to be charged. But they didn't want to charge (him) with the murder of Breonna Taylor."

The decision is one that left many activists and community organizations who have been calling for justice in the shooting disappointed in the outcome.

The decision also means that the two other officers at the center of the probe have been cleared of any wrongdoing and were found justified in opening fire.

Based on this evidence, Cameron said neither Mattingly nor Cosgrove's actions fit any of the six types of homicides. He said he and the grand jury agreed that they were justified in shooting since Walker, admittedly, fired first.

"They say they were acting in self-defense. You are not allowed to blindly fire and kill a third-party," Romines said. "You are only allowed to use self-defense when an identifiable target is shooting at you. But we know from the evidence that was not Breonna Taylor."

Romines found issue with the self-defense claim without it going to a jury.

"The other thing about that is self-defense claims are presented at trial. You get indicted, and you got a claim of self-defense. You present it to a jury, and a jury decides if there is reasonable doubt you acted in self-defense. In this case, they just (decided) they did and let it go," he said.
