Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is seeking to delay the release of the secret grand jury proceedings from the Breonna Taylor case.
A judge ruled earlier this week that the recording be made public after an unidentified juror filed a motion asking a judge to unseal the transcript and records “so that the truth may prevail.”
According to NBC, after initially agreeing to release the recording, Cameron filed a motion on Tuesday that asked for a delay of one week to give his office time to “redact personal identifiers of any named person, and to redact both names and personal identifiers of any private citizen,” to protect witnesses.
In a statement to NBC, a spokesperson for Cameron’s office said, “The Grand Jury audio recording is more than 20 hours long, and our office filed a motion to request additional time, if the court permits it, to redact personally identifiable information of witnesses, including addresses and phone numbers.”
Former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison was the only officer charged in the Taylor case. He was charged with three counts of wanton endangerment for bullets that went into a neighboring apartment. The attorney general only recommended the wanton endangerment charge, which the grand jury delivered, and no other charges.
None of the officers involved in the botched raid on Taylor’s home back on March 13 have been held accountable for her death.
