This is just going to be a quick and overdue update episode about the Breonna Taylor case

that I first covered in the summer of 2020. Today we're just really going to focus on the

Develop Minnes over the summer and the autumn and catch you up to where we are now. I recommend

listening to the first episode before this one because I'm just assuming you know the basics of

the case and what we covered and I'm not going to be recapping. Before we get to the grand jury,

which is the biggest update of all and the one I think most people want to hear more details about,

we are going to go through some of the development over the summer of 2020 after I released the episode.

About a week after my episode came out, back in June, the incident report from that night of Breonna

Taylor shooting death was released. So I want to cover what was in that really quickly and it's

going to be really quickly because there's not much in it. It is labeled a death investigation.

Under the section for forced entry, the no box is checked even though the police used a

battering ram to get in. Then under injuries, it says none and that is not a check box that is

typed in. Breonna was shot multiple times yet the incident report says no injuries.

But under the weapon, it does list handgun. The bulk of the report is redacted and the box where

the events are typically described is blank. It just says P.I.U. investigation, meaning public

integrity unit, which is the department that investigates officer involved shootings.

Some look at this incident report and the incorrect information in it and they say this is shady.

This is an attempt to document as little as possible so that a narrative could be formed later.

Others see it simply as sloppy. The official stance is that the errors were a technical glitch

as a result of the reporting program that they used when they created the paper file. The mayor

of Louisville said that the report was unacceptable and that it was things like this that

erode public confidence in the police department, which I think is a fair assessment
