WAIT IS OVER
AGUSTIN PAULLIER
A Kentucky grand jury on Wednesday will present its report on the Breonna Taylor case, six months after the 26-year-old was shot by police in her home during a botched raid. The Jefferson County grand jury is expected to present their case at 1:15 p.m. ET to Circuit Judge Annie O'Connell, the administrative office of the courts confirmed to The Daily Beast. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron will discuss the grand jury’s decision on whether to charge Louisville Police Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, Detective Myles Cosgrove, and former Detective Brett Hankison for the March 13 shooting shortly after the hearing.
Ahead of the announcement, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer announced a 72-hour curfew in the Kentucky city from 9 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and urged residents to engage in peaceful protesting regardless of the outcome. Fischer added that the Kentucky National Guard and Federal Protective Services have also been called in to assist the Louisville Police Department, stating that the measures have been put in place to protect protesters.
