A lawyer for Breonna Taylor's family says a plea deal was offered to an accused drug dealer that would have implicated Taylor in criminal activity weeks after her killing by police. Louisville’s prosecutor says the offer was only part of plea negotiations.
FILE - Protesters participate in the Good Trouble Tuesday march for Breonna Taylor, on Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2020, in Louisville, Ky. A lawyer for Breonna Taylor's family said a plea deal was offered to an accused drug trafficker that would have forced him to implicate Taylor, who was killed by police in a raid on her home in March.
Louisville’s top prosecutor said the document was not an attempt to smear Taylor but was part of preliminary plea negotiations with a man charged with illegal drug trafficking. Taylor was fatally shot March 13 in her home by police serving a narcotics search warrant as part of a wide-ranging police operation targeting Glover, Taylor’s former boyfriend. Glover and others were arrested on drug trafficking charges the night Taylor was shot.
Wine provided a copy of what he said was the final plea deal offered to Glover, which did not include her name but did list her address as a place where Glover picked up mail packages.
