Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said Monday night that he will release the recording of the grand jury proceedings in the case of Breonna Taylor to the court on Wednesday. It is not clear when the recording will be available to the public, though his statement indicated he would not try to prevent it from being publicly released. „The Grand Jury is meant to be a secretive body,“ Cameron said in a statement to CBS News. „It’s apparent that the public interest in this case isn’t going to allow that to happen.“ Cameron said his team has an „ethical obligation“ not to release the recording. But he added, „Despite these concerns, we will comply with the Judge’s order to release the recording on Wednesday.“ The judge’s order comes as part of the case against former detective Brett Hankison, the only person the grand jury charged. While none of the officers involved in Taylor’s fatal shooting were charged directly in her death, Hankison was charged for blindly firing his gun outside of Taylor’s apartment. Court filings are generally public documents — and multiple attorneys told CBS News that Cameron is unlikely to try to seal them given his new comments. The recording will likely include what the Cameron’s office presented to the grand jury, as well as any possible witness testimony. The grand jury’s decision not to charge any of the officers in Taylor’s death sparked nationwide outrage and days of protests.
