(LOUISVILLE, Ky.) The Louisville Metro Police Department has moved to fire two officers involved in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor in her apartment earlier this year.
Officer Myles Cosgrove and Detective Joshua Jaynes were both notified of termination Tuesday, according to their lawyers. Both officers will answer the termination notices in a hearing before Police Chief Yvette Gentry, who was named to the role in September, on Thursday. They can also appeal the police chief s final determination. We plan to attend the pre-termination hearing on December 31st, although I expect the result has already been pre-determined, Thomas Clay, Jaynes lawyer, told ABC News in a statement. I fully expect Mr. Jaynes will be terminated after the hearing no matter what the evidence is to the contrary. We will appeal any disciplinary action taken against Mr. Jaynes because I believe the evidence shows he did nothing wrong.
