Breonna Taylor grand jury tapes to be released

Tapes of the grand jury's deliberations in the case of a black American woman killed in a police operation at her home in Kentucky are to be made public.

The jury decided no officers should be charged over her death.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said in a statement that although the grand jury was meant to be a secretive body, "it's apparent that the public interest in this case isn't going to allow that to happen".

Mr Cameron said: "Once the public listens to the recording, they will see that over the course of two-and-a-half-days, our team presented a thorough and complete case to the grand jury."

The unnamed grand juror sued for release of the tapes after comments made in public by Mr Cameron following the jury's decisions

A statement from the family and their lawyers on Tuesday said the grand juror's actions supported their belief that Mr Cameron had misrepresented the jury's deliberations

Mr Cameron said he believed that evidence presented to the jury showed that officers Jonathan Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove were justified in opening fire because Kenneth Walker, Ms Taylor's boyfriend, had shot at them
