Reporting on reactions in Louisville following the announcement
that none of the police officers involved in the shooting of Breonna Taylor would be charged Lester Holt presented the statement of the family attorney that he was outraged, and the tenor of the news report seemed to agree with him. Yet an earlier news article in the Louisville CourierJournal presented a different viewpoint from two experienced criminal defense attorneys, who are Black. All the lawyer responding to the reporter agreed the officers should not be charged, because once the boyfriend of Breonna Taylor shot at them they were acting in self-defense.Aubrey Williams who is Black and a former president of the local chapter of the NAACP, said ‘it’s unfortunate that this young lady was killed..but I don’t see…an indictment or conviction’ Jan Waddel another defense attorney who is Black made this statement: The seemingly unending list of unarmed Black men who have been and continue to be gunned down by white police officers,,,does not and cannot justify the return of an indictment based on revenge rather than the facts of the case and the law.’
