Breonna Taylor death: Former Kentucky police officer faces retrial
A former police officer in the US state of Kentucky is to go on trial for a third time over the death of Breonna Taylor, a black woman shot dead in her own home in 2020 during a botched raid.
Brett Hankison, was part of a group of officers in the city of Louisville who broke into Taylor's apartment on 13 March that year.
Some thirty two shots were fired at Taylor and her boyfriend, who survived the encounter.
Taylor's death sparked racial injustice rallies across the US.
Hankison has twice before avoided a conviction for allegedly violating Taylor's civil rights.
Jury selection in his new trial will start today.
