LOUISVILLE, Ky. — One of the Louisville Metro Police officers who fired shots during the attempted search warrant execution that left Breonna Taylor dead in her apartment last year is writing a book about the case.

"The Fight For Truth: The Inside Story Behind the Breonna Taylor Tragedy," written by Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, 48, will be edited and published by Tennessee-based Post Hill Press.

Post Hill Press Senior Publicist Devon Brown confirmed Thursday morning that Mattingly's book will be published by Post Hill this fall.

Mattingly will be available for interviews then, she said, declining further comment.

the warrant — based on cruddy information— were primarily responsible.

We’ll minimize this junk when we start canning, and perhaps charging, them.
