GET ME REWRITE: 79-year-old U.S. District Judge Charles Simpson, appointed in 1985 by Ronald Reagan, rules Breonna Taylor's boyfriend caused her death

 
Headline: Wisconsin State Journal, 8/23/2024
"Obviously we are devastated at the moment by the judge's ruling with which we disagree and are just trying to process everything," Taylor's family wrote in a statement Friday to The Associated Press. It said prosecutors told the family they plan to appeal Simpson's ruling. 
"The only thing we can do at this point is continue to be patient ... we will continue to fight until we get full justice for Breonna Taylor." 
The U.S. Justice Department said in an email that it "is reviewing the judge's decision and assessing next steps."
