The first officer to be convicted in connection with the deadly 2020 raid was a former detective from Louisville.
Kelly Goodlett pleaded guilty to lying to authorities in order to get a judge to sign off on the no-knock warrant, which was executed in the middle of the night.
She is the first person to plead guilty in connection with the raid, suggesting she may be cooperating with investigators.
They were accused of crimes in connection with the affidavit and conspiracy, as well as using excessive force that violated the civil rights of Taylor, Kenneth Walker, and their neighbors.
The judge in the US District Court for the Western District of Kentucky will sentence Goodlett at a later date. She could be sentenced to up to five years in prison and fined up to $250,000.
