The Breonna Taylor Case

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Saturday marked 136 days of protests in Louisville demanding justice for Breonna Taylor.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — There are many hours of video of officers giving accounts of what happened in the early morning hours of March 13 at Breonna Taylor's home, revealed in the release of Louisville Metro Police Department's (LMPD) Public Integrity Unit (PIU) file. Spectrum News 1 began going through and sharing information earlier this week. Included in the recordings is an interview with Detective Joshua Jaynes, the first time hearing from the officer who secured the search warrant for Taylor's apartment.

"These are our warrants. I mean, we all had a hand in this," Jaynes is heard telling investigators.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As Breonna Taylor's family and demonstrators continue to demand more transparency surrounding the events that led to her death, Harvard economist Jeffrey Miron questions why law enforcement across the country are instructed to take on complicated drug investigations in the first place.

Taylor was fatally shot by Louisville police in March during the execution of a no-knock warrant. No drugs were found in Taylor's apartment.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Attorney General Daniel Cameron has asked a court to keep an anonymous grand juror who heard evidence in the Breonna Taylor investigation from speaking publicly about the proceedings.

“As I’ve stated prior, I have no concerns with a grand juror sharing their thoughts or opinions about me and my office’s involvement in the matter involving the death of Ms. Breonna Taylor,” Cameron said in a statement. “However, I have concerns with a grand juror seeking to make anonymous and unlimited disclosures about the grand jury proceedings."

LOUISIVLLE, Ky. — The Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) released its Public Integrity Unit's (PIU) investigative files on the Breonna Taylor case Wednesday, according to Mayor Greg Fischer.

"Following the decision of the Grand Jury announced by Attorney General Daniel Cameron, it was important to release the PIU files as quickly as possible to the public, after making necessary redactions," Fischer said. "Much of the information in these files was included in records from the Grand Jury proceedings that were released last week."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell is dismissing the felony riot charges against 18 people, including state Rep. Attica Scott, from protests on the night of Sept. 24.

Scott, who represents Louisville, was charged with failure to disperse, unlawful assembly and riot in the first degree, a felony.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Mayor Greg Fischer, through an executive order, has rescinded the State of Emergency he enacted in late September. The State of Emergency came as the city prepared for a decision in the Breonna Taylor case.

Through the same order, Fischer also announced the remaining barricades on Fifth, Sixth, Jefferson, and Liberty streets will be removed and parking restrictions in downtown Louisville will be lifted.

The demands for the appointment of a special prosecutor come over a week after the attorney general’s office announced the grand jury charged only former Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) officer Brett Hankison with three counts of wanton endangerment in the first degree. There were no charges directly related to Taylor’s death.

On Friday, the attorney general's office released about 15 hours of recordings from the grand jury following a judge's order. Harrison claims the recordings show the case presented to the grand jury was biased.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Roughly 15 hours of recorded grand jury proceedings in the Breonna Taylor investigation were made public Friday, giving the public a rare look at a typically secretive process and revealing new information about how Attorney General Daniel Cameron conducted his probe into the 26-year-old's March 13 killing.

The recordings cover proceedings conducted on Sept. 23-25. On the final day, the grand jury announced that one of the three officers involved in Taylor’s shooting — now-former Louisville Detective Brett Hankison — would be charged, and only for shots he fired into a neighboring apartment. That decision touched off several days of tense protests in Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Breonna Taylor’s name has echoed in cities around the world. But her tragedy is only part of her story.

Thursday, four Western High School teachers recalled Taylor's time at the school in detail and even showed reporters where she sat in social studies class.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A judge ruled on a motion filed by Attorney General Daniel Cameron, granting his office an extension on the deadline to submit the grand jury recordings from the Breonna Taylor case. His office has until Friday, Oct. 2 at noon to submit the recordings.

Cameron filed a motion with the Jefferson Circuit Court Tuesday asking for an additional week so his office can protect the privacy of those involved in the case. Specifically, the motion "seeks to redact personal identifiers of any named person, and to redact both the names and personal identifiers of any private citizen."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — After an anonymous grand juror from the Breonna Taylor case filed a motion Monday for the release of the grand jury transcripts and recordings, their attorney, Kevin Glogower, spoke out. He said, during a press conference held at the Galt House, "the concern is truth and transparency."

Glogower said questions were being left unanswered by Attorney General Daniel Cameron. When asked if there was a key piece of evidence kept from the grand jury that should have been included, he said, "These questions are not being answered right now. What we're getting from the attorney general's office, two-fold at this point, is that they presented everything. I would submit to you, based on their own statements, they didn't do that."

KENTUCKY —A Jefferson County Circuit Court judge has ordered Attorney General Daniel Cameron to release grand jury recordings and he will comply on Wednesday.

Monday, Judge Ann Bailey Smith ordered the release of the grand jury recordings during former Louisville Metro Police Department Detective Brett Hankison's arraignment. Hankison, the only officer involved in Taylor's death to face charges from the grand jury, pleaded not guilty to three counts of wanton endangerment during the arraignment.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison, one of the officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor, is scheduled for arraignment Monday afternoon at 3:30 p.m.

Last week, a grand jury charged Hankison with three counts of wanton endangerment in the first degree. He was the only officer involved in Taylor's death to receive charges; however, his charges are not related to Taylor's death. Rather, his charges stem from bullets that went into neighboring apartments.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — There have been many questions asked and many demands made following the announcement Wednesday of charges related to the night Breonna Taylor was shot.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Protests in downtown Louisville continued into the weekend and like the previous three nights Louisville Metro Police made arrests.

Protesters marched just after 6 p.m. and returned to Jefferson Square Park before 7:30 p.m. They announced several times before the 9 p.m. curfew that they planned to stay in the park and barked warnings to those who didn't want to be arrested that they should leave. By 9 p.m. the park was empty and large number of protesters had walked to a church on Second Street. Just before the curfew went into effect LMPD tweeted out a pair of advisories alerting people to the fact that it can declare unlawful assembly at anytime for safety reasons and those wishing to leave peacefully needed to head west on Jefferson Street.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Trying to create progress from unrest is a big topic this week. Spectrum News 1 went to the New T&B Classic Cuts barbershop for some generational advice. The shop has been a fixture in Louisville's West End for 56 years. We found that, after all that's happened since the protests started, the men inside had a lot more than getting a cut on their minds. Barber Eric Hansberry agrees with the message but doesn't agree when the protests turn violent and destructive.

"What they're doing is tearing up the city, not having concern for their aunts and grandparents who may not be able to go shopping 'cause they tore up the Kroger's that's near their homes," Hansberry said. Darryl Powell, a customer in the shop Saturday, said he hopes all of the people taking to the streets do something even more meaningful in November.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The First Unitarian Church of Louisville has received criticism and threats for offering itself as a safe space to protesters, church leaders said Saturday.

“There certainly has been some negative feedback,” said Pastor Lori Kyle. She said criticism has been “largely rhetorical,” but on Friday, at least two church volunteers felt concerned for their personal safety when a group of gun-toting men drove back and forth down the alley behind the church.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Two days after a grand jury announced its findings in the Breonna Taylor case, protests continued throughout Louisville.

Early in the evening protesters began marching from from Jefferson Square Park to the NuLu neighborhood on Main Street. Louisville Metro Police asked them to walk on the sidewalks so that traffic could move. When crowds refused, LMPD declared an unlawful assembly. Police set off a pair of flashbang rounds in the air above the crowd and police told them to disperse and move east. Crowds did begin to disperse, with many walking back to the park. Two people were arrested.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – A group led and organized by students at the University of Kentucky gathered for the third-straight night on Friday to host a vigil in response to the decision in the Breonna Taylor Case.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Attorneys for the family of Breonna Taylor called Friday for Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron to release the transcripts of the grand jury proceedings that resulted in the indictment of one of the three police officers involved in the 26-year-old’s killing.

Speaking at a press conference at Louisville's Jefferson Sqaure Park, Ben Crump, a national civil rights lawyer and part of the Taylor family’s legal team, said they are “heartbroken," "confused," and "bewildered," about what Cameron presented to the grand jury.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. —Breonna Taylor's family spoke publicly for the first time Friday since the grand jury announced its findings in Taylor's case emotionally demanding that the transcripts for the proceedings be released. Attorneys Ben Crump, Sam Aguiar and Lonita Baker joined Taylor’s family in Jefferson Square Park Friday morning asking for the same. Protests the night before were largely peaceful.

Some members of Breonna’s family, including her mother Tamika Palmer, have taken to social media. On Instagram Thursday, Palmer wrote, "It's still Breonna Taylor for me," followed by the hashtag #ThesystemfailedBreonna.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville's second day with the news that none of the officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor would face charges directly tied to her death began relatively quiet, but when the sun went down, things changed, this time without violence.

None of the other cops involved will face criminal charges at this time.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A crowd gathered at Jefferson Square Park, in anticipation of the historic Grand Jury announcement. Once the indictment regarding the Breonna Taylor case was handed down, there was grief and outrage. People hugged and cried, shouted, and stomped.
