A federal judge has dismissed felony charges against two former Louisville police officers, Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany, who were accused of falsifying the warrant that led to Breonna Taylor's fatal shooting in 2020, ruling that Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, firing at police was the proximate cause of her death. This decision has left Taylor's family devastated, as they argue the false affidavit set in motion the events leading to her death. Meanwhile, in Ohio, a judge denied a former Columbus police officer's request to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Donovan Lewis's estate, who was fatally shot in 2022. Additionally, a lawsuit involving the suicide of Vincent Young in a Texas jail was dismissed, with criticisms aimed at understaffing and inadequate inmate supervision. Lastly, a West Virginia judge ruled the City of Charleston cannot be removed from a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by a former police officer, Chelsea McCoy, who alleges sexual harassment and wrongful discharge.
