Prosecutor to release Breona jury evidence

Kentucky’s attorney general reversed course and said he would release on Wednesday a recording of grand jury proceedings over the police shooting death of Breonna Taylor that resulted in none of the officers involved being charged with homicide.

Attorney General Daniel Cameron initially rejected calls to release the proceedings, saying those are meant to be kept secret. The outcome of the deliberations over the March shooting of the Black EMT raised questions over how Cameron guided the grand jurors in their decision-making.

The grand jury decided against charging either of the two officers whose bullets struck Taylor, but did indict a third officer with wanton endangerment for stray bullets that hit a neighbouring apartment.
