Amy McGrath, Mitch McConnell's Senate opponent, demands that Kentucky's AG release the full grand jury report that led to no charges for Breonna Taylor's killing

  • People flocked to a Louisville memorial honoring Breonna Taylor, a Black woman who was shot and killed after officers entered her home on a no-knock warrant.
  • On Wednesday, three officers involved in the incident were not indicted in relation to Taylor's death.
  • The decision sparked protests across the state and across the country demanding justice for Taylor.
  • Amy McGrath, a Democrat who is running against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for his Senate seat in Kentucky, also visited Taylor's memorial, demanding that the Kentucky Attorney General release the full grand jury report for Taylor's case.
  • "I really believe that Attorney General Cameron should release the full grand jury investigative report because Louivillians, Kentuckians, and the family of Breonna and everyone should be able to see that to make that judgment," McGrath said.
  • "Let's have a transparent investigation, let's release it to everyone," she continued. "In the meantime, let's focus on making sure we elect leaders who will work for change."

A memorial honoring Breonna Taylor, a Black woman who was shot and killed after officers entered her home on a no-knock warrant, was erected in Louisville, Kentucky, where she lived.

On Wednesday, former Det. Brett Hankison, Sgt. Jon Mattingly, and Det. Miles Cosgrove were not indicted in relation to Taylor's death. A Kentucky grand jury charged Hankison with three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment for shooting into Taylor's apartment and potentially endangering her next-door neighbors. Hankison was fired from the department earlier this year.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said a grand jury found that two of the three officers were justified in their actions on the night of Taylor's death, saying it was an act of self-defense.

Amy McGrath, a Democrat who is running against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for his Senate seat in Kentucky, also visited Taylor's memorial, demanding that Cameron release the full grand jury report for Taylor's case.

"I really believe that Attorney General Cameron should release the full grand jury investigative report because Louivillians, Kentuckians, and the family of Breonna and everyone should be able to see that to make that judgment," McGrath said, emphasizing the importance of transparency in the decision.

"Let's have a transparent investigation, let's release it to everyone," she continued. "In the meantime, let's focus on making sure we elect leaders who will work for change."
