Judge in Breonna Taylor case denies ex-officer's alleged prior misdeeds as evidence.

Brett Hankison's trial is set to start on Oct. 15 .

The former Louisville police officer is accused of violating the civil rights of Taylor , her boyfriend and their neighbors in 2020 , when Taylor was shot and killed in a botched police raid.

A federal trial last year ended in a mistrial when the jury reached an impasse because they were not able to reach a unanimous decision.

Prosecutors filed new charges last week against Kyle Meany and Jason Jaynes , two former Louisville officers accused of obtaining false warrants for Taylor ’s home.

A federal judge dropped charges in August against Jaynes and Meany .

The new charges include more allegations about how the former officers allegedly falsified the affidavit for the warrant.
