A grand juror who won a court fight to speak publicly about the Breonna Taylor case is rebutting comments by Kentucky's attorney general. The juror says the panel was not given the option to consider charges connected to Taylor's shooting death by police.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron addresses the media following the return of a grand jury investigation into the death of Breonna Taylor, in Frankfort, Ky., Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2020. A judge has cleared the way for grand jurors to speak about the proceedings in the case against the police officers who shot Breonna Taylor. An anonymous grand juror who sat on the panel last month had sued to speak publicly.

The anonymous grand juror had filed suit to speak publicly after Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced last month that no officers would be directly charged in the March shooting death of Taylor during a narcotics raid. The grand jury charged one officer with endangering her neighbors. The anonymous grand juror challenged Cameron’s comments, saying the panel “didn’t agree that certain actions were justified,” and grand jurors “did not have homicide charges explained to them.”

Ben Crump, an attorney for Taylor’s family, said Cameron “took the decision out of the grand jury’s hands” and said the grand juror’s statement was “confirmation of Cameron’s dereliction of duties.”

Breonna Taylor grand juror says panel wasn't given a chance to consider homicide chargesThe Breonna Taylor grand jury was not given an opportunity to consider homicide charges in the case against police officers who served a no-knock warrant at her home the night she was killed, an anonymous member of the panel said Tuesday. An EMT is in a position to see police at their best- or their worst. I think Ms. Taylor was the victim of a hit because she was a witness to police misconduct. The AG was responsible for presenting the case and the charges. Why didn’t he present homicide charges? Once again protecting everyone else but the victim.
