The charges were not for Taylor’s death, but for Hankinson’s decision to fire bullets through Taylor’s window and sliding glass door. The bullets struck a nearby apartment where three people – a man, a pregnant woman, and her 5-year-old son who lived next door – were present.
Prosecutors argued that his actions endangered the lives of the three individuals, with the defense arguing that their client acted in defense of himself and fellow officers during the raid.
