Brett Hankison has asked a federal judge to allow him to remain out of prison while he appeals his conviction and sentence of 33 month in prison for using excessive force and violating the civil rights of Breonna Taylor.
But his attorneys filed a motion Friday asking that the report date from the Bureau of Prisons be postponed 60 to 90 days while Hankison appeals his conviction to a higher court, according to court records.
In an order on Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings ruled “a jury has spoken and this Court cannot and will not disturb its verdict without legal reason.”
