Their warrant was for a man Breonna had dated eons ago and barely knew anymore, and whom they already had in custody!

Instead, experts are saying the 9 mm round that hit Mattingly came from the gun of Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker. Walker had previously admitted to firing one shot from his legally owned handgun. Experts...
