Grand juror files suit seeking release of transcript in Breonna Taylor case
I've never heard of a grand juror doing this before, but good for them. It's seemed obvious to me that Cameron and the police were carrying out (or trying to) a cover up. I hope the truth does come out and Breonna Taylor receives the justice too often denied unarmed Black men, women, and children killed by police.

Grand juror files suit seeking release of transcript in Breonna Taylor case
A grand juror in the Breonna Taylor case is asking the courts to release the grand jury transcript and records, according to a new court filing.
"The full story and absolute truth of how this matter was handled from beginning to end is now an issue of great public interest and has become a large part of the discussion of public trust throughout the country," the attorney for the juror wrote in the court filing.
Filed just after 4 p.m. Monday, the grand juror is not named in the document and seeks to remain anonymous. They ask only to have the proceedings disclosed so "the truth may prevail," they wrote.
The suit calls out Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron for saying the grand jury agreed that Louisville police officers Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly and Detective Myles Cosgrove were justified in shooting Taylor, an unarmed Black woman, because her boyfriend fired at them first.
