Kelly Hannah Goodlett pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate Taylor's civil rights for helping falsify, and consequently cover up, an affidavit to justify the deadly search on Taylor's apartment in March 2020.
A former LMPD detective pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in connection to Breonna Taylor's death
Goodlett, 35, appeared in a federal courtroom in Louisville on Tuesday afternoon and admitted to conspiring with another Louisville police officer to falsify the warrant. Goodlett briefly answered several questions from federal judge Rebecca Jennings Grady. Grady said there may be “extenuating circumstances” that may move the court to push back the sentencing date. Part of the plea hearing was also kept under seal and was not discussed in open court Tuesday.
Taylor was shot to death by Louisville officers who had knocked down her door while executing the search warrant. Taylor’s boyfriend fired a shot that hit one of the officers as they came through the door and they returned fire, striking Taylor multiple times.
