The move follows the filing of a motion by a grand jury member to have the sealed transcripts and records released "so that the truth may prevail."
A recording of the grand jury in the Breonna Taylor case will be made public after Kentucky's Attorney General Daniel Cameron agreed to comply with a judge's ruling to release it.
The move follows the filing of a motion in Louisville, Kentucky, by a grand jury member to have the sealed transcripts and records released"so that the truth may prevail." He pleaded not guilty Monday. During his hearing, the judge ordered that a recording of the grand jury proceedings be entered into the court record.
The decision not to charge the officers with Taylor's death was met with outrage, as Taylor's has become one of many names associated with police violence and racial inequity in recent months. Protests followed in Louisville as people demanded transparency and justice for Taylor. It had previously been reported that Taylor was shot five times, but Cameron said she was struck six times.Police were executing a warrant to search for drugs or cash from drug trafficking as part of an investigation involving Taylor's ex-boyfriend Jamarcus Glover, a convicted drug dealer. Glover had been using her address to receive packages, according to authorities.
He also said the three officers"had no known involvement in the preceding investigation or obtainment of the search warrant."Mattingly's attorney, Kent J. Wicker, said the grand jury's decision not to charge his client or Cosgrove"shows that the system worked and that grand jurors recognized and respected the facts of the case."
