Since the season restarted in July, Lakers guard Danny Green has started his press conferences by demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who was shot and killed by Louisville police in her home on March 13.
Before Green was made available to the media on Wednesday, there was an update on Taylor’s case — the most significant update there’s been since Taylor’s death. On Wednesday, a Jefferson County grand jury decided against charging the two officers that shot Taylor, Jonathan Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove. Instead, a former detective, Brett Hankison, was indicted on three counts of “wanton endangerment” for firing bullets that traveled into a neighboring apartment.
