Lawyer for grand juror in Breonna Taylor case blasts Kentucky AG's 'misleading' statements, says his

says his client should be allowed to speak

A lawyer for the anonymous grand juror in the Breonna Taylor case says his client shouldn’t be muzzled at the request of Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, especially now.

Attorney Kevin Glogower filed new court paperwork Sunday arguing it’s too late to bar his client from speaking because Cameron already allowed the release of 15 hours of grand jury recordings and gave his characterization of the proceedings in press interviews.

“Anonymous Grand Juror #1 submits the Attorney General cannot choose to part from the rules in disclosing information and then use his position to prevent others from responding to his misleading remarks,” Glogower said in his filing obtained by the Daily News.

The lawyer scoffed at Cameron’s Wednesday court filing that claimed “centuries of history, practice, and custom” dictate grand jury proceedings should be kept secret.

So, no law then. We've seen how Republicans treat practices and customs in the last 10 years. Fuck 'em. If Cameron wants to prosecute the juror for breaking some non-existent law, good luck to him. Nobody is bound to observe a law that's not on the books. That goes for subpoenas, too. And court orders. And appellate judgments. And Supreme Court rulings. If the president's above the law, everyone else is, too.
