Breonna Taylor autopsy, police radio files shouldn't be released yet, Kentucky AG says

Source: USA Today

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Kentucky Attorney General's Office won't require Louisville public agencies to release Breonna Taylor's autopsy report, police radio recordings in connection with her death or boyfriend Kenneth Walker's investigative file.

The agency, which is conducting its own investigation into Taylor's March 13 death, released a series of open records rulings this week, finding that Louisville Metro Police, Louisville Metro Emergency Services and the Jefferson County Coroner's Office were justified in rejecting requests made by The Louisville Courier Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, because of pending investigations.

In reaching those conclusions, the attorney general's office pointed to letters from the FBI's Louisville field office and an assistant deputy attorney general that said releasing the records would adversely impact the ongoing investigations and any potential prosecutions that may result from them.

When the investigations conclude, the office writes, the requested records would be subject to disclosure, barring another applicable exemption.

In this case, you have the area to start with, but add in police bias and some bad detective work and a gun-happy redneck minority, this is what you get. As blue as Louisville is, it's still in the South.

That the killing was justified, the AG would by dry humping the documents on the steps of the state capital.

Fine. We’ll wait. you can’t hide forever.
