Grand Jurors in Breonna Taylor's Killing "Not Given the Opportunity" to Bring Homicide Charges
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Kentucky, a member of the grand jury that heard evidence in the case
of Breonna Taylor's killing says jurors were never given the opportunity
to consider homicide charges against the Louisville police officers who
shot Taylor to death as they served a no-knock warrant in Taylor's home
last March. In a statement issued through their lawyer, the anonymous
juror wrote, "The grand jury didn't agree certain actions were
justified, nor did it decide the indictment should be the only charges
in the Breonna Taylor case. The grand jury was not given the opportunity
to deliberate on those charges."
