Breonna Taylor grand juror felt 'compelled' to take action: attorney

"The grand juror that we represent felt compelled to take some sort of an action based upon the indictment that was rendered and the subsequent press conference and messages from the attorney general's office about how everything played out," Glogower said.

Kentucky's attorney general reversed course and said he planned to release a recording of a grand jury that ultimately decided last week not to indict any police officers for the shooting death of Breonna Taylor in a botched raid in March.

Attorney General Daniel Cameron initially rejected calls to release the grand jury proceedings, saying those are meant to be kept secret.

The outcome of the jury deliberations over the fatal shooting of the unarmed African-American emergency medical technician in her own home raised questions over how Cameron, a Black Republican, guided the grand jurors in their decision-making.

The Kentucky governor, the Louisville mayor and the Taylor family all had pressured Cameron to make the grand jury evidence public. The tipping point came after one of the grand jurors and a Jefferson County Circuit Court judge also said the proceedings should be released.
