A federal judge in Louisville, Kentucky, has partially dismissed charges against two former police officers who allegedly falsified a search warrant, leading to the death of Breonna Taylor, an unarmed Black medical worker, in 2020.

Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany, the former Louisville police officers, were accused of making false statements in their application for a 'no knock' warrant to search Taylor's home. Although the judge dismissed part of the most serious charge, other charges remain intact.

Prosecutors have argued that these actions deprived Taylor of her civil rights and led to her death. The case has been a focal point in the ongoing conversation about police violence and racial injustice in the United States.
