The Louisville police sergeant in Kentucky who fired at Breonna Taylor after being shot during the deadly raid on Taylor’s apartment has pulled out of a publishing deal to 'explore other' options.
Months after Simon & Schuster's refusal to distribute the book, which was still scheduled to be published by Post Hill Press, Louisville Police Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly decided to sever ties with the Nashville, Tennessee-based publishing house.
"Like much of the American public, earlier today Simon & Schuster learned of plans by distribution client Post Hill Press to publish a book by Jonathan Mattingly," Simon & Schuster said in an April statement."We have subsequently decided not be involved in the distribution of this book.
Mattingly and another officer fired shots that hit Taylor during the March 13, 2020, narcotics raid. Taylor, a 26-year-old Black emergency medical worker, died at the scene, but no drugs were found in the apartment.A spokesperson for Benjamin Crump, Taylor's family attorney, did not immediately respond to Fox News' request seeking comment.
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron addresses the media following the return of a grand jury investigation into the death of Breonna Taylor, in Frankfort, Kentucky.
