The criminal trial for former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison, who faces charges for his role in the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor, has been pushed back to next year.

Hankison was charged with three counts of wanton endangerment for firing multiple shots that entered a neighbor's apartment and endangered three people on March 13, 2020.

He and Louisville Metro Police Department officers Myles Cosgrove and Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly fired a barrage of 32 shots into Taylor's apartment while serving a "no-knock" warrant and Taylor was killed.

During a hearing Friday, Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Ann Bailey Smith moved his trial to Feb. 1, 2022, pushing it five months back from its original date set for Aug. 31, 2021.

1. 2022?? What's that line...? "Justice delayed is..."?

2. They're hoping people will forget the Chauvin case by then...

3. Because of covid? Covid?

What the fuck? Open everything up in every state, BUT postpone trial until 2022? I'm sure they are ALL out on bail, RIGHT? Just makes me so fucking pissed!

4. Justice delayed is justice denied.

5. They delayed the trial by five months, not indefinitely. It's not as if they scrapped the charges.

Getting worked up about this is more than a bit silly.
