Frankfort, KY — On Friday, three grand jurors in the Breonna Taylor case filed an impeachment petition against Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron for his handling of Taylor’s case. 

According to the Courier-Journal, the petition alleges Cameron breached the public trust and failed to comply with his duties by misrepresenting the findings of the grand jury in the Taylor case. Attorney Kevin Glogower signed the petition on behalf of the jurors to keep their identities private. 

From the Courier-Journal:

“The Grand Jurors did not choose this battle,” stated Kevin Glogower, the attorney for the three grand jurors. “This battle chose them. 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. It is truly a testament to the Kentucky Constitution that they are able to be here today and to expose injustice and demand public accountability. I am honored and humbled to serve them.”

From WFPL: 

“Attorney General Cameron deceived the American people and the citizens of this Commonwealth with regard to his office’s handling and involvement in the Breonna Taylor investigation and the resulting legal actions,” the petition states.

Additionally, the impeachment petition also referenced Cameron’s involvement with the Republican Attorneys General Association as an executive committee member and that organization's role in the January 6 domestic terror attack on the U.S. Capitol. It also cites Cameron’s involvement with a lawsuit to unfairly overturn Pennsylvania election results.

From WFPL: 

The grand jurors wrote that “no legitimate reason supports Cameron’s attack on the votes in a sister state.”
