Attorneys for Breonna Taylor's family ask governor to appoint new special prosecutor
Saying their fight for justice is not over, attorneys for Breonna Taylor's family asked the governor of Kentucky to appoint a new special prosecutor to reopen the case and slammed state Attorney General Daniel Cameron for "intentionally" not presenting homicide charges against three white officers who fatally shot the 26-year-old Black woman in her own apartment.
The request was made in an open letter to Gov. Andy Beshear, and came a day after the public release of 15 hours of recordings of a three-day grand jury hearing which resulted in one officer being indicted on wanton endangerment charges, but not for Taylor's death.
"Unfortunately, Cameron did not serve as an unbiased prosecutor in this case and intentionally did not present charges to the grand jury that would have pursued justice for Ms. Taylor," reads the letter addressed to Beshear and posted online by attorneys for Taylor's family.
One of the attorneys, Benjamin Crump, posted a message on Twitter accompanying a link to the letter, saying, "This fight is NOT OVER! We DEMAND a new special prosecutor reopen #Breonna Taylor's case?"
