I had the same thoughts - Goodlett took a deal to roll on Jaynes. Probatim Aug 2022 #3

DOJ opened a case on 4 August, today is the 12th. No Biden/no Garland/no Fed charges irisblue Aug 2022 #4

Does this open him up to civil litigation? Further criminal offenses?

I hope it doesn't end well for him.

Remember beginning of August, the Feds filed charges as well
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/current-and-former-louisville-kentucky-police-officers-charged-federal-crimes-related-death
Snip-"The third charging document — an information filed by the Department of Justice — charges LMPD Detective Kelly Goodlett with conspiring with Jaynes to falsify the search warrant for Taylor’s home and to cover up their actions afterward."

She & her lawyers must have got a deal.

Also, I'm not a lawyer.
