Kentucky Governor Calls on Attorney General to Release All Evidence in Breonna Taylor Case

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear called on Attorney General Daniel Cameron to release online “all the information, evidence and facts” he can about the Breonna Taylor case.

“I believe that the public deserves this information,” Beshear said on Wednesday, September 23, 2020, shortly after a Kentucky grand jury brought no charges against Louisville police for the killing of Breonna Taylor during a drug raid gone wrong, with prosecutors saying Wednesday two officers who fired their weapons at the Black woman were justified in using force to protect themselves.

The grand jury instead charged fired Officer Brett Hankison with three counts of wanton endangerment for firing into Taylor’s neighbors’ homes during the raid on the night of March 13. The FBI is still investigating potential violations of federal law in the case.

Along with the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota, Taylor’s case became a major touchstone for the nationwide protests that have gripped the nation since May — drawing attention to entrenched racism and demanding police reform. Taylor’s image has been painted on streets, emblazoned on protest signs and silk-screened on T-shirts worn by celebrities.
