The recording of grand jury proceedings in the Breonna Taylor case will be released this week. The unusual step comes after a juror disputed the Kentucky attorney general's explanation for why no charges were filed directly related to Taylor's killing.
The grand jury recording in the Breonna Taylor case will be released, after a judge ordered the attorney general's office to produce the recording by Wednesday. Here, a mother and son attend a demonstration in what activists are now calling Injustice Square Park in downtown Louisville, as protesters demand justice for Taylor's killing by police.
Cameron says his office will obey Smith's ruling, despite ethical concerns about exposing grand jury matters that are normally never revealed. Taylor's family and their supporters have sharply criticized Cameron since the charges against Hankison were announced, saying they don't believe that the attorney general advocated on behalf of the woman whom police killed.said in a statement
"Our prosecutors presented all of the evidence, even though the evidence supported that Sergeant [Jonathan] Mattingly and Detective [Myles] Cosgrove were justified in their use of force after having been fired upon" by Taylor's boyfriend, Cameron said."For that reason," he added,"the only charge recommended was wanton endangerment."
"The release of the recording will also address the legal complaint filed by an anonymous grand juror," Cameron said.
