Wow! A federal judge has dismissed the most serious charges against former Louisville Metro detectives Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany in the Breonna Taylor case.  Taylor was shot and killed after police performed a no-knock warrant at her apartment in Louisville five years ago.  The two detectives were charged with providing and lying about false information to obtain the search warrant and were aware dangerous weapons would be used.  Judge Charles Simpson ruled prosecutors could not attribute Taylor’s death to the warrant issue because returning fire was a legal act.  Jaynes still faces charges of falsifying information in the warrant and civil rights violations that could land him in prison for 25 years.
