Former police detective Kelly Goodlett, who helped write the warrant that led to the deadly police raid at Breonna Taylor's apartment, has pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge.

The charges announced by Attorney General Merrit Garland on Thursday include civil rights violations, conspiracy, use of excessive force offenses and obstruction.

The policy spells out situations in which officers have an "affirmative duty" — to prevent or stop other officers from using excessive force, and to render or call for medical aid when it's needed.

Police shot and killed the 22-year-old Black man while executing a no-knock search warrant last week. Protesters called for the resignation of the chief and the officer they say shot Locke.

The state attorney general said the reforms, including additional training, search warrant tracking and other safety measures could serve as "a national model."
-
The announcement comes more than a year after Taylor was fatally shot by police at her Louisville apartment. It is the second probe of police the Justice Department has announced in less than a week.

A jury has found Derek Chauvin guilty on all three counts he faced over the killing of George Floyd. The outcome was far from guaranteed, as convictions of police officers are historically rare.

Just over a year after police officers shot and killed Taylor in her home, the Speed Art Museum has opened a show in her memory. "To see it all come together is just a blessing," says Taylor's mother.
-
Detective Joshua Jaynes, who secured the search warrant for Taylor's apartment, and Detective Myles Cosgrove, who federal investigators said fired the shot that killed her, have been terminated.
-
One officer wasn't at the raid but applied for the search warrant with misleading information. The move comes months after the department fired another detective.

The death of Breonna Taylor energized a nationwide movement to restrict "no-knock" police raids, but activists want tightened rules for other kinds of forced-entry search warrants.

Taylor's family lawyers are calling for a special prosecutor to reopen the case. But Attorney General Daniel Cameron says, given its importance, he was best equipped to handle the investigation.
