Hankison’s shots didn’t hit anyone, but prosecutors said the officer who fatally shot Taylor — Myles Cosgrove — was nearly hit by one of Hankison’s bullets. In all, three officers fired 32 shots during the raid. An attorney for Hankison argued Monday that the longtime officer joined a poorly planned raid to earn some overtime and brought along his K-9 drug-detection dog.
Hankison faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if he is convicted on either of the federal charges. Cosgrove testified that some of Hankison's shots through Taylor's sliding glass door came close to where he was standing at one point. The shot trails were shown in an exhibit on Monday.
