KY appeals court upholds firing of former LMPD detective Joshua Jaynes (WAVE3)

This one of the murderers of Breonna Taylor.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – The Kentucky Court of Appeals has upheld the firing of former LMPD detective Joshua Jaynes.

He’s the detective who lied on the search warrant for Breonna Taylor’s apartment. This is the third time that Jaynes has appealed the termination of his employment and the third time it’s been denied.

Jaynes was fired in January 2021 for violating LMPD rules in the preparation of a search warrant and untruthfulness. The warrant in question covered the deadly raid on Breonna Taylor’s apartment in 2020.

Jaynes first appealed the firing to the Police Merit Board, who found Jaynes had violated two areas of LMPD’s standard operating procedures. More >>
