After the judge declared a mistrial in November, Brett Hankison, a former Louisville Metro Police Department detective who was charged for his involvement in Breonna Taylor’s death in 2020, is set for a civil rights trial, CNN reports.

Stew Mathews and Ibrahim Farag, Hankinson’s attorneys, said they were informed by federal prosecutors that they would be refiling charges.

The attorneys also stated that another status hearing is scheduled for January 24 and a trial date has been tentatively set for October 14. Jack Byrd, another one of Hankison’s attorneys said he intends to file a new motion of acquittal.

Farag said that Hankison will face the same two civil rights violation charges, which were for “deprivation of rights under color of law: one for Taylor and the other for three of her neighbors.”

Hankison’s charges stem from a police raid gone wrong on March 13, 2020, where Taylor suffered from multiple gunshot wounds after police broke into the apartment she shared with her boyfriend Kenneth Walker while attempting to serve a no-knock warrant.

Using a battering ram to break down their door, three officers fired shots after Walker, fearing that they were being robbed, shot an officer in the leg. Taylor died at the scene.

that the investigation Louisville Metro Police Department has “a pattern of violating civil rights, conducting unlawful searches and discriminating against Black people and people with disabilities.”

In October, Hankison's trial began, and deliberations ended on Nov. 16. After jurors were deadlocked on both counts that Hankison faced, a mistrial was declared.

Local station WKLY reported that Hankison may be changing his legal representation as Matthews is set to retire. 

A deadline of Jan. 24 had been set for Hankison to choose a new legal team when he will appear at the next status hearing.

Although Hankison was acquitted on state charges last year, if found guilty in the new federal prison, he could face up to life in prison. `
