In a rare move, a grand juror is speaking out and confirming what we
knew already — Daniel Cameron sided with killer cops.

John, have you heard the latest in the Breonna Taylor case?
A grand juror from the case is speaking out and revealing the lengths to
which Attorney General Daniel Cameron went to ensure Breonna’s murderers
got away with killing her.^1
1. Cameron never presented the grand jury with the option to charge the
officers with murder. Here’s part of what the grand jury member had to
say:
“The grand jury did not have homicide offenses explained to them. The
grand jury never heard anything about those laws. Self-defense or
justification was never explained either."
2. Cameron lied to the public about the case. On September 23, Cameron
said "the grand jury agreed" that the two officers who opened fire from
Breonna Taylor’s doorway were justified.^2 But here’s what the grand juror
had to say about that:
“The grand jury didn't agree that certain actions were justified, nor
did it decide the indictment [wanton endangerment charges] should be the
only charges in the Breonna Taylor case."
It is clear that the grand jury did not believe the killer cops were
justified and wanted to press more charges — but Cameron simply never gave
them the option. Daniel Cameron ran a botched grand jury process with the
intended purpose of letting Breonna Taylor’s killers walk away scot-free.
We’ll say it until we’re blue in the face: Daniel Cameron has to go!
[ [link removed] ]We need a new special prosecutor now. Demand Daniel Cameron recuses
himself and assigns a special prosecutor to this case.
Unfortunately, Daniel Cameron is the only person who can appoint a special
prosecutor in Kentucky. Yes, Cameron, the same prosecutor who denied Bre
justice once already!
So, here’s what we have to do, John: We have to do everything
in our power to make the stakes high for Cameron, an elected official,
where he has no choice but to answer our demands. And today, that starts
with signing the petition and getting your friends to do the same:
* [ [link removed] ]Sign the petition to demand Daniel Cameron recuse himself from the
Breonna Taylor case.
* [ [link removed] ]Then, take your fight public and send a tweet to Daniel Cameron
telling him to recuse himself now.
We fight for Breonna, her family, Louisville, and all Black women and
girls who are taken by police violence. Thanks for staying in the fight.
Until justice is real,
Scott, Rashad, Arisha, Erika, Marybeth, Malachi, Ernie, Leonard, Madison,
Ariel, Ericka, Ana, McKayla, and the rest of the Color Of Change team
