Kentucky AG: Breonna Taylor files to be released on Friday
Judge grants two-day delay to release of grand jury proceedings in case that has sparked protests across the US.
The release of secret grand jury proceedings in Breonna Taylor’s killing by police will be delayed until Friday, according to the Kentucky attorney general’s office.
Daniel Cameron’s office filed a motion Wednesday asking a court in Louisville for a week’s delay to allow the names of witnesses and their personal information, including addresses and phone numbers, to be redacted.
Cameron’s office said a judge granted a shorter delay, saying the material should be made public Friday. The audio recordings were originally supposed to be released Wednesday.
Cameron’s office sought the delay “in the interest of protection of witnesses, and in particular private citizens named in the recordings,” according to the filing. The recordings are 20 hours long.
Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, was shot dead in her home in Louisville by police who were executing a warrant in March.
The grand jury decided this month not to charge any of the police officers involved with her death; instead, one officer was charged with shooting into a neighbouring home.
