The criminal case against Kenneth L. Walker, Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend has been permanently dropped. Kentucky Judge Olu Stevens signed the order on March 8, which prevents prosecutors from retrying him for that case again. Walker shot a police officer during the deadly no-knock raid when the police stormed Taylor and Walker’s home, killing Taylor.
According to The Associated Press, prosecutors dismissed an attempted murder charge against Kenneth L. Walker in May, about two months after Taylor’s death. However, prosecutors left open the opportunity to revisit the charge against Walker if new evidence surfaced.
