Breonna Taylor’s mother says her daughter’s death and lack of justice is ‘still unbelievable’ a year later.

CNN — Nearly one year after the death of Breonna Taylor, the anniversary of which is Saturday, the family and attorney said, “there’s still not been justice for Breonna.” Tamika Palmer, Taylor’s mother, told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on New Day that justice for her daughter would mean the “officers arrested, and charged, and convicted.” Lonita Baker, the family attorney, said the family will continue to feel there has been no justice “until the officers who are responsible for Breonna’s death are criminally charged as they should be.” Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency room technician, was shot and killed by Louisville police officers in her apartment during a flawed forced-entry raid in the early morning hours of March 13 last year. “A grand jury…did not decline to charge the officers,” in Taylor’s death, she said, adding “instead it was Daniel Cameron’s office who decided not to present charges on behalf of Breonna to a grand jury.” “And that’s primarily what the family and community is asking for at this time – to let the criminal justice system play its course,” to let a grand jury determine accountability and ultimately not to leave that “decision making” in the hands of the prosecutor. He had suggested the grand jury in the Taylor case could have made an “assessment about different charges.” Baker said it’s still very possible for “these officers and their charges to be presented to a grand jury.” “We’ve always maintained if this was a decision of the grand jury, we may not be happy with it, but we could accept that it was at least presented the way everyone else’s charges are presented.” She notes there is an ongoing federal investigation and “we look forward to that wrapping up” and “for the appropriate charges to come out of that.” There is no timeline on that investigation, she said. “They don’t help Breonna,” she explained “but the goal is for there not to be another Breonna so you know their steps moving forward to make sure, hopefully, ensure this won’t happen again.” Baker also said a settlement of $12 million from the Louisville police department received by the family, while holding the City and Police force accountable, “does not hold the officers responsible for Breonna’s murder accountable.” Palmer reflecting back said, it’s “still unbelievable” nearly one year later.
