Brett Hankison's trial was initially scheduled to begin on Aug. 31, 2021, but was delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions. The trial was later delayed due to
an unscheduled surgery and inclement weather.
Hankison is charged with three counts of wanton endangerment for firing into a neighboring apartment while serving a "no-knock" warrant on Taylor's apartment on March 13, 2020, in Louisville, Kentucky. He has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison.
"Our hope is that we can pick an impartial jury," Hankison's lawyer Stew Mathews told ABC News. "We're going to both defend [against] the charges in the courtroom."
