How do you know when they heard the jail phone calls? Also, they would not have known there was nothing in the house until after the search was conducted. That was the reason for the searches all on the same night so that evidence could not be moved or destroyed. Just because it was not found that night does not mean anything. It was his address and they knew he used that address for his vehicle, correspondence and bank accounts so they had to include it for that one reason alone.

The leaked LMPD report detailing the links between Taylor and Glover referenced recorded jail calls, including one made hours after her fatal police shooting, in which Glover tells his girlfriend Kiera Bradley that Taylor was holding $8,000 for him and she had been "handling all my money."

Thank you to everyone who is keeping her media thread updated.

She absolutely had knowledge of what he was doing. Read the articles and transcripts of the phone calls. She was on the transcripts talking to him about one of the other suspects being at the trap house. She talked about the stress of being around him because of the police. She had bailed him out of jail multiple times. She was seen at the trap house in February with him. None of this is implying that she was involved in the drug dealing or deserved to be killed. All of this coupled with him using her address as his own points to the possible chance that drugs/ proceeds from said drug dealing would be in the apartment.

The thing with the package issue is that which postal inspector did they go to for the information since it wasn't the local one? Also which other LE agency went to him as part of their investigation? Was it Jefferson County? Was it KSP? Or on the outside possiblity since it was a drug case and he was wanted in connection with another drug case in a different state, the DEA?

They went to the postal inspector at the post office that received mail for Breonna's address and it was LMPD officer Joshua Jaynes that went to the postal inspector he is also the officer that did the application for the warrants as part of the investigation.

1. Postal inspector verified there were no "suspicious packages" for Glover being sent to BT apartment.
Let me explain from my career in the Transportation Industry, the USPS as well as trucking companies are regulated by DOT, had LMPD told the inspector that they suspected drugs were being shipped to a certain address the postal "inspector" would have the authority to open packages going JG to see if drugs were in said packages. postal inspector says he was asked if packages were going to BT apartment for JG but there was no mention of drugs.
2. If LMPD knew there were drugs being shipped to BT address for JG why would they not pull him over when he was going in the direction of the trap house, they could have found numerous reasons to search his car at that point they could have opened the package themselves to check for drugs.

3. Had another postal inspector been asked about packages being shipped to BT home by LE he would have been notified.

4. Glover was already in custody of LMPD when the raid was done on BT apartment.

5. Nothing illegal was found in BT apartment.

6. The jail phone calls between JG and BT were not investigated until after the raid that killed Breonna.

7. What other case was JG under investigation for connection to other drug activity in another state? Link please

You cannot get a NKW because you hope and feel that there may be evidence at a home of a person that you want to search.
The fact that there was no drugs or money there that night means plenty it means that she was not a part of a drug enterprise.
This is how I know the phone calls were obtained after the raid.?

Supreme court has ruled that GJ evidence is hearsay so I don't think it would be admissible. MOO.
Do you happen to know what case this is? There are several exceptions to the hearsay rule so Id love to read the opinion, to see their intent and/or if they could potentially apply here :)

Three of the officers who executed the search warrant told investigators that they intentionally planned the raid on Taylor’s apartment to be at the same time as the other raids across town; they waited at a location nearby until the SWAT team was ready to go before approaching Taylor’s apartment.
But this appears to have been news to Massey, who told investigators carrying out multiple warrants of any risk level at the same time is ill-advised, and “bad business,” because if something goes wrong at one location, other officers won’t be able to immediately assist.
To Massey, what he saw as the poor planning and execution of the raid suggested the officers were placing a higher priority on seizing whatever drugs or money they hoped to find over the lives of those involved — both the officers and whoever was on the other side of the door.

Massey also makes it clear that involved officers were roaming freely on scene after the incident, despite LMPD’s explicit policy that they be separated and paired with a peer support officer.

Massey said the "ultimate goal is we don’t wanna – we don't want to get hurt, innocent people and even the bad guys. … Like, that’s - $14,000 isn’t worth it, any amount of dope's not worth it either."

Det. Joshua Jaynes wrote that he believed Glover may be "keeping narcotics and/or proceeds from the sale of narcotics" at Taylor’s apartment.
During a recorded jail call after the raid, Glover said Taylor was "hanging onto my money" for him, claiming she had about $14,000 – and that he could walk into her home and find it.
A search warrant from March 13 that shows items police seized from the apartment — such as cell phones and shell casings — and does not list any money or drugs.
In another phone call he made from jail on the same day, Glover told his sister that another woman had been keeping the group’s money.
LMPD SWAT commander called Breonna Taylor raid an 'egregious act'

Bradley told The Courier Journal in an Aug. 31 interview that she thought their heated conversation prompted Glover to say that.
"I think he was just saying that because he had a bond. I'm like, 'Where is your money?' I was upset. You can look at the calls, I was talking about my daughter. ... You know, it was an argument. I think that he was just like, she had all my money because he had a bond," Bradley said.

Search Warrant

Obtaining a Search Warrant
Only judges and magistrates may issue search warrants. In Coolidge v. Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443 (1971), the Supreme Court held that a warrant must be issued by a "neutral and detached" judge capable of determining whether probable cause exists. To obtain a warrant, law enforcement officers must show that there is probable cause to believe a search is justified. Officers must support this showing with sworn statements (affidavits), and must describe in particularity the place they will search and the items they will seize.

Probable Cause

Application to Search Warrants
Probable cause exists when there is a fair probability that a search will result in evidence of a crime being discovered.7 For a warrantless search, probable cause can be established by in-court testimony after the search. In the case of a warrant search, however, an affidavit or recorded testimony must support the warrant by indicating on what basis probable cause exists.8

A judge may issue a search warrant if the affidavit in support of the warrant offers sufficient credible information to establish probable cause.9 There is a presumption that police officers are reliable sources of information, and affidavits in support of a warrant will often include their observations.10 When this is the case, the officers’ experience and training become relevant factors in assessing the existence of probable cause.11 Information from victims or witnesses, if included in an affidavit, may be important factors as well.12

The judge's quote: “All discovery documents shall be filed in the court file and not just between the parties. Additionally, the recording of the grand jury proceedings shall be filed in the court file by noon on Wednesday of this week.”

Jefferson County was one of the few in the state where evidence in cases was filed publicly, until they stopped the practice a few years ago. Certainly looks like Judge Ann Bailey Smith has decided the this case will be public

Just because info was stated in a memo produced after the search warrant does not prove they did not have prior knowledge and information on Breonna's involvement with JG. LE knew she came up with bond money for example. And they also knew he had visited her apartment several times and that she knew about the trap house. So it was not just one phone call or one visit to her house but a lot of incidences.

This report is very revealing. We were led to believe Mattingly fired & retreated, This report claims Mattingly was walking around the apt. afterwards. It also calls the raid an egregious act but than goes on to say Hankinson's actions were egregious.

After declining to specify last week what he recommended to the grand jury,
@kyoag
now says his office recommended only the wanton endangerment charges in the Breonna Taylor case.

I don't think this release will satisfy those that want the officers charged. It will only lead to more attacks towards the AG. There are no fair minded people anymore. Everything is so partisan. jmo
 
  • #759
I said before the GJ met that the evidence I saw & the legal opinions I read led me to conclude no charges would be filed in her death. If I was wrong & there was an explanation for the charges I would accept them.
 
  • #760
Its sad. Those that wanted the officers arrested will tear the GJ report apart with the defenders of the decision silent. Just look at what happened before the GJ. The media only interviewed and quoted those that wanted the officers arrested.
