to redact personally identifiable information of witnesses, including addresses and phone numbers."

The release of the recording was expected after a grand juror had requested in court that all recordings, transcripts, and reports of the panel relating to the police-involved shooting case be released to the public.

The juror has suggested the Kentucky attorney general may have misrepresented to the public the case presented to the panel, according to a lawyer for the juror.

Kevin Glogower, attorney for anonymous grand juror, on Wednesday accused Cameron of "damage control." Glogower said it's important for the public to know what charging options were presenting to the grand jury and whether charges were recommended in connection with Taylor's killing.

Taylor's death in March set off outrage across the country, chants of "say her name," calls to arrest the officers, and a renewed focus on the Black women killed by police.

Her story gained wider attention during nationwide demonstrations that followed the late May killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.

The attorney general, who was named a special prosecutor in the case in May, initially refused to release grand jury transcripts or recordings despite growing public calls to do so by the Louisville mayor, the Kentucky governor, and Taylor's family's attorneys.

But Cameron late Monday evening announced he would comply with a judge's ruling ordering a recording of the grand jury presentation be added to the court's case file.
