A white US former police officer was sentenced Monday to serve a 33 -month prison sentence for his involvement in the death of a young black nurse, who turned into an image of the Black Lives Matter movement, despite the recommendation of the ministry.

The ministry requested last week to impose a sentence of just one day of imprisonment – it had already served – to the police officer, the Brett Hankisonwho was found guilty in November 2024 by a jury in Louisville (center -east) for violating the civil rights of the young man.

The victim, 26 years old, was called Briona Taylor.

The recommendation of the ministry was characterized by lawyers who represented the deceased and her family ‘Infringement of life’ of the victim and “A nasty betrayal of the decision of the body of the jurors”.

The traveler Rebecca Greedy Jennings He explained that he did not consider the Ministry of Justice’s recommendation convincingly, reciting the sentence yesterday, according to the media. He accompanied her with a three -year sentence of imprisonment with suspension.

“Mr Hankison is the only police officer to be convicted of police raids during which Briona was killed.”pointed out Ben Crampa criminologist who represented the victim, well known in the US, as he often assumes cases of police violence and civil rights violations.

In view of the sentence of the sentence, the Ministry of Justice suggested, in a letter submitted to the court last week, to impose a one -day police penalty in prison, which he had apparently served at the time of his arrest at the start of the proceedings, accompanied by three years in prison.

The unusual thing was that this recommendation was signed not by the prosecutor who had taken over the case, but by the Deputy Minister of Justice responsible for civil rights. Harmit DillonConservative Law appointed President Trump.

“The government respects the verdict of the jury body that guarantees that accused Hankison will never serve the police anymore and may never be able to ever hold a firearm anymore.”according to the text.

But the imposition of heavier sentence would be ‘Unfair’appreciated, stressing that “Although she shot the blind ten times in her apartment (…) she did not injure her or anyone else that day.”

“Recommending just one day of imprisonment sends the undisputed message that white police officers can violate the bourgeoisie of black Americans with almost absolute impunity.”the group of lawyers who represented the victim reversed.
