Attorney for Breonna Taylor’s family calls for release of grand jury transcripts
An attorney for Breonna Taylor’s family again called on Kentucky’s to release the transcript of the grand jury proceedings in her death.

An attorney representing Breonna Taylor’s family again called on Kentucky’s attorney general to release the grand jury transcript proceedings in her death.
Attorney Benjamin Crump spoke Friday in Louisville with Taylor’s family at a news conference. Her family is made its first public comments since Wednesday’s announcement that no police officer would be charged directly with her killing.
“Breonna Taylor’s entire family is heartbroken … and confused and bewildered, just like all of us, as to what did Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron present to the grand jury,” Crump said.
“Did he present any evidence on Breonna Taylor’s behalf, or did he make a unilateral decision to put his thumb on the scales of justice to help try to exonerate and justify (the killing) by these police officers?” Crump said.
“Release the transcript!” Crump said repeatedly, leading a crowd in a chant.
Earlier, Crump said Friday he is counting on a different, federal investigation for justice.
“We hope the FBI investigation finally gets justice for Bre and her family,” Crump tweeted.
Crump has called for Cameron to release the transcripts of the grand jury proceedings.
Grand jury proceedings are generally kept secret to encourage witnesses’ and jurors’ candor, prosecutors and legal experts say. Exceptions have included the release of grand jury proceedings in the Michael Brown case in Ferguson, Missouri.
The grand jury indicted former Louisville Metro detective Brett Hankison on first-degree wanton endangerment charges, accusing him of blindly firing shots that penetrated the walls of a neighbor’s apartment.
The grand jury did not indict two other officers on the scene.
The FBI has said it is investigating Taylor’s death.
