The Kentucky attorney general will release a recording of the grand jury proceedings in the Breonna Taylor case, a spokesman said hours after one of the jurors filed a court motion seeking the action so “the truth may prevail,” according to reports.
The unidentified grand juror — who assailed Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s statements last week – also asked a judge to allow the panel’s members to give up their confidential status if they choose to discuss the explosive Louisville case, the Courier-Journal reported.
Former Detective Brett Hankison has been charged with wanton endangerment for shooting through the 26-year-old EMT’s window during a botched March 13 raid, with the bullets going into an occupied neighboring apartment.
Hankison, Sgt. Jon Mattingly and Detective Miles Cosgrove busted into Taylor’s apartment with a narcotics warrant and exchanged gunfire with her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker.
She was fatally struck during the raid but none of the officers have been charged in her death.
“The full story and absolute truth of how this matter was handled from beginning to end is now an issue of great public interest and has become a large part of the discussion of public trust throughout the country,” Kevin Glogower, the attorney for the juror, wrote in the Monday afternoon filing, the Courier-Journal reported.
The motion accuses Cameron of using the grand jurors “as a shield to deflect accountability and responsibility for those decisions” — and asks the court to allow them to also discuss what didn’t take place during the proceedings, including “any potential charges and defendants presented or not presented,” according to the outlet.
On Monday, Hankison pleaded not guilty to three counts of wanton endangerment at his arraignment in Jefferson Circuit Court

Will that be enough to placate? Nah.
Ah, they’ll burn another (or the same) leftist city.
I don’t care anymore and I live in one of them.
If they cross into your area and threaten you, blow a new hole into them.
And Kentucky needs a jury that understands their duties.
They need a new Grand Jury in Kentucky. One that has the discretion required.
The young atty general is doing his job and there’s a big future for him. Rats know it.
I’m almost surprised the AG is releasing the records - will probably leave the DA swinging in the breeze...
How about a lawsuit from one of the other jurors against the first juror and anyone endangered by this decision?
AG is committing legal malpractice. Grand Jury material is secret for a reason. We are about to get a demonstration as to why that is the case.
Kentucky AG Cameron is a black man off the plantation; the Left has him in their cross hairs.
A runaway
Grand jury testimony should never be released. Grand Jury testimony is and must remain secret.
The release is an unjustifiable precedent
“the 26-year-old EMT’s”
That’s a lie, she was fired and banned from being an EMP in 2016 when a dead body was found in her rental car. She’s a thug.
And a partner to a drug dealer.
What's the story?
I thought she was an Emergency Room Tech, not an EMT. There is a BIG difference between the two.
“Grand jury testimony should never be released.”
Ok, then what’s the significance of “... after one of the jurors filed a court motion seeking the action so “the truth may prevail ...”?
A court motion was filed. Is that a useless motion? Might a judge order the release and the AG knew it?
Historically and in most states, grand jury proceedings have been closed and the testimony remains secret. To disclose the testimony because the mob is unhappy with the outcome is wrong. KY AG should not have given in to the mob by saying he will let the testimony go public.
“I thought she was an Emergency Room Tech, not an EMT. There is a BIG difference between the two.”
Knowing the media, they’ll just change the definition of “EMT” to “EMergency room Tech”. They’ve pulled this off numerous times. “White Nationalist” replacing “Patriot”, “Non-College Educated Whites” replacing “blue collar”, and “Racist” replacing “Conservative” are just a few examples.
I don’t know if she was banned from other medical employers, but what I’ve read, she was allowed to resign after drugs went “missing”, and the ‘DO NOT REHIRE’ box was checked on her separation form.
Oh, and she only worked there for about five months.
She wasn’t just somebody caught in the crossfire, she was part of the illegal drug operation.
They’d have to read it first.
All they know is Twitter, Facebook and other Social Media Outlets.
Facts get in the way of emotions.
