Former Louisville detective Brett Hankison testified in his own defense on Wednesday about his actions during the police raid that killed Breonna Taylor.
Hankison said he did nothing wrong during the raid, and that Taylor"didn't need to die that night."
He said the gunfire began with a muzzle flash that illuminated a shadowy silhouette, and he thought it was someone firing an automatic rifle at his fellow officers.He's charged with firing stray bullets through Taylor's apartment and endangering her neighbors during the botched March 2020 narcotics raid.In March 2020, Taylor, a 26-year-old Black medical worker, was fatally shot in her home during a botched police raid.
Cosgrove, who state investigators believe fired the fatal shot, was fired last January, months after Hankison was fired.
