Kenneth Walker Being Sued By One Of The Officers Involved in Breonna Taylor’s Death

Can you believe this? One of the officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor has filed a lawsuit against her boyfriend Kenneth Walker for emotional distress and assault and battery.

In the lawsuit, Louisville Sergeant Jonathan Mattingly claims he experienced “severe trauma, mental anguish, and emotional distress” because of Kenneth Walker’s actions the night of Taylor’s death.

On March 13, Mattingly and two other officers entered Breonna Taylor’s apartment with a no-knock warrant in attempt to carry out a drug investigation. Walker, a licensed gun owner, allegedly fired a shot that hit Mattingly in the leg because he thought the officers were intruders. Police then opened fire, killing Taylor. Taylor had no criminal record and no drugs were found.

The lawsuit said, “Walker’s conduct in shooting Mattingly is outrageous, intolerable, and offends all accepted standards of decency and morality,” citing one of the legal standards for intentional emotional distress.

At first, Walker was arrested and charged with attempted murder over the shooting but those charges were later dropped. He later sued the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department and also sought immunity based on the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law.

Walker’s attorney called Mattingly’s lawsuit a “baseless attempt to further victimize and harass Kenny.”

In a statement obtained by CBS News, Attorney Steve Romines said, “Kenny Walker is protected by law under KRS 503.085 and is immune from both criminal prosecution and civil liability as he was acting in self defense in his own home.”

He said, “Even the most basic understanding of Kentucky’s ‘Stand Your Ground’ law and the ‘Castle Doctrine’ evidences this fact. One would think that breaking into the apartment, executing his girlfriend and framing him for a crime in an effort to cover up her murder would be enough for them,” he added. “Yet this baseless attempt to further victimize and harass Kenny indicates otherwise.”

Mattingly’s attorney Kent Wicker voiced his support for his client, “Mattingly was shot and nearly killed by Kenneth Walker. He’s entitled to, and should, use the legal process to seek a remedy for the injury that Walker has caused him.”
