Hamilton 'sad but not surprised' at Breonna Taylor verdict

Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton said he is "sad but not surprised" at the verdict in the case around the killing of Breonna Taylor.

On Wednesday, a grand jury in Louisville indicted one police officer -- Brett Hankison -- for shooting through the walls and into neighboring apartments. Hankison was charged with three counts of wanton endangerment in connection to the police raid that resulted in the death of Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, on the night of March 13.

Hamilton wore a shirt with the message '"Arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor" ahead of F1's most recent race, the Tuscan Grand Prix, and on the podium after securing his 90th career win.
