from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy
The Breonna Taylor case down in Kentucky has been in the news for months. Breonna Taylor was an African American woman who was shot and killed by police in her apartment. We just had a grand jury charge one of the three officers involved in this case, but none of the charges actually are connected to Taylor's killing. So what happened? Why wasn't anyone charged for killing Breonna Taylor? And what does justice look like here? Dr. Jill McCorkel, Professor in the Department of Sociology & Criminology at Villanova University and Founding Director of the Philadelphia Justice Project for Women and Girls joins KYW In Depth to explain why no one was charged for killing Breonna Taylor and what's next in the case.
