In Monday's court filing, the anonymous grand juror said the lawsuit was necessary to 'quell the fears of persecution, condemnation, retribution, and torment along with the fear of prosecution' that may be felt by grand jurors.
An anonymous member of the Kentucky grand jury that returned indictments in the Breonna Taylor shooting case filed suit against the Commonwealth of Kentucky Monday, asking for the recordings of the grand jury to be released. The grand juror also alleged that Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron's claims that grand jurors were in agreement with the findings of his investigators were not entirely true.
In the Monday filing, the grand juror expressed concern that they could be found in contempt"if there was a public disclosure that contradicted certain things that [Cameron] stated happened during the proceedings, characterized the singularity of the decision in a different light, or raised doubts about charges that were presented during the proceedings."
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron's office announced Monday that secret recordings of the grand jury in the Breonna Taylor shooting case would be made public on Wednesday.During Hankison's Monday arraignment, Judge Ann Bailey Smith called for the grand jury recordings to be filed in the court by Wednesday.
