On Monday, @AttorneyCrump announced he was joining local attorneys in representing Breonna Taylor's family. Crump has been involved in a number of high profile cases associated with the #BlackLivesMatter
movement, now including #AhmaudArbery: https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/crime/2020/05/11/breonna-taylor-killing-family-hires-attorney-ahmaud-arbery-case/3108607001/

Yesterday, I spoke with @AttorneyCrump and Breonna Taylor's mother.

On the same day @AttorneyCrump told me he promised to ramp up the pressure, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer broke his silence on Taylor's death, calling for a "thorough investigation" and saying his priority is "for justice to follow the path of truth." https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/metro-government/2020/05/12/breonna-taylor-death-louisville-mayor-wants-thorough-investigation/3116352001/
Documents show that LMPD obtained a controversial no-knock warrant on Breonna Taylor's home.
Police still say they knocked, but neighbors, Taylor's boyfriend and her attorneys disagree: https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/2020/05/12/breonna-taylor-louisville-emt-not-main-target-drug-investigation/3115928001/
