SHOW TRANSCRIPT
Three former grand jurors in Breonna Taylor s case have joined other petitioners calling for Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron to be impeached.
The jurors submitted their petition to the Kentucky legislature Friday, according to attorney Kevin Glogower. The jurors names weren t disclosed.
Glogower said: These are randomly selected citizens who were compelled to sit on a grand jury and were terribly misused by the most powerful law enforcement official in Kentucky.
The petition accuses Cameron of breaching public trust, misrepresenting Grand Jury findings and failing to perform the duties of his office.
These arguments for impeachment come in response to Cameron not pursuing charges in September against Louisville Metropolitan Police Department officers over Taylor s death.

Three grand jurors from the Breonna Taylor case have filed an impeachment petition against Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, alleging he misled the public about the case and misrepresented the grand jury’s actions.
They also argue he misused public funds to join a multi-state lawsuit against Pennsylvania’s election results and supported unlawful actions as a member of the National Association of Attorneys General’s executive committee, which funded robocalls urging people to march to the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
The grand jurors have remained anonymous, though the petition was filed by Louisville attorney Kevin Glogower on their behalf.
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron launched the Search Warrant Task Force.
According to a tweet from Daniel Cameron, the task force was launched to examine the process of securing, reviewing, and executing search warrants in Kentucky.
Cameron also says this helps convene a group to develop practices for the safe execution of search warrants in the commonwealth.
Cameron also assembled a group representing every aspect of the search warrant process.
The goal is to establish Kentucky as a national model for how search warrants should be pursued and executed.

The jury trial for former Louisville Metro Police detective Brett Hankison, one of the officers who shot at Breonna Taylor, will begin on August 31. His team hopes to move the trial outside Louisville.
Hankison’s attorney, Stewart Matthews, said he plans to file a motion in the next two weeks to request a change of venue.
Jefferson County Circuit Judge Ann Bailey Smith on Wednesday set the date for the jury trial during a pre-trial hearing conducted remotely due to COVID-19. Attorneys said during the hearing that all discovery for the case had been filed. She also scheduled an in-person hearing for March 25, to discuss the potential change of venue, indicating she might move the trial farther from Jefferson County than a neighboring county.
