Open Letter: Justice for Breonna Taylor

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron:

In May, the Commonwealth Attorney referred this case to your office. You were asked to appoint a special prosecutor. Rather than do so, you kept this case in your office. It is now clearer than ever that this was a case where you decided early on that your office would never actually prosecute against officers Cosgrove, Mattingly and anyone else responsible for the unlawful death of Breonna Taylor.

Your office refused to even allow a grand jury to seek indictments against any of these three officers with relation to Breonna Taylor. You were biased throughout the process and intentionally deprived justice for Breonna and her family.

Because your office is unwilling to fulfill your duties, we demand you that you recuse yourself from this matter and have the Kentucky Prosecutors Advisory Council appoint a special prosecutor who is willing to allow a grand jury to actually do its job, deliberate over all possible charges and render a decision on a True Bill for each.

All lives have value. Bre’s life had special value because of the sacrifices she made for her community.

Together, we will get justice for Breonna Taylor — ADD YOUR NAME now.
