LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The questioning of potential jurors has been delayed for the trial of a former Kentucky police officer involved in a botched raid that killed Breonna Taylor. Brett Hankison has pleaded not guilty to three counts of wanton endangerment for allegedly firing wildly into the apartments of Taylor’s neighbors. Jefferson Circuit Judge Ann Bailey Smith said Tuesday that Hankison had to have unexpected minor surgery. She noted that Hankison has the right to observe the jury selection process and that questioning will now begin on Thursday.
