I figured he just used the wrong term. It would not matter as in this case even if it was a local DA that was in the court room (we don't actually know who ran the grand jury), per the Kentucky Constitution he was in that grand jury courtroom representing the AG and anything he does there the AG is responsible for doesn't take steps to correct it once known.He's flip flopping DA/AG when it's convenient.
Wrong, in Kentucky, and many other states, the AG is indeed voted in and directly represents and is beholden to the people.
The Kentucky Supreme Court has firmly established that the Attorney General’s primary obligation is to the people and their Commonwealth – not any branch of government. In 2016, the Supreme Court recognized the Attorney General’s common-law obligation to protect public rights and interests by ensuring that our government acts legally and constitutionally, in Beshear v. Bevin, 498 S.W.3d 355. The Court wrote that “It is certainly in ‘the interest of all the people’ that there be no unconstitutional or illegal governmental conduct.”

Meanwhile Family of Breonna Taylor will not get justice. Not that her life matters.One of the few cases of an elected DA. Again, even in Kentucky they are beholden to the laws of their role. In Kentucky there is no legal requirement the DA has to instruct the grand jury of everything they are allowed to do. The voters there can make it so, or they can vote him out when able to do so.
This was brought by the state, not a county, so we are talking about the AG here, not a county DA. Nearly all AGs are elected officals.One of the few cases of an elected DA.

There is no legal requirement that a AG (or DA for that matter) has to instruct the grand jury in anything specific, but they do have a requirement that they must represent their client fairly and to the best of their ability. That is a requirement of being BAR certified. In this case the People of Kentucky is (as always) the AG's client. Did he fairly represent the people to the best of his ability by withholding critical information from the grand jury, information they specifically asked for, and then represent to the public (his client) that all charges was considered and only this one was accepted, not by him but by the grand jury?
If any other lawyer told his client false information in order to prevent them from seeking remedy that would be illegal. Why is it not here?
He presented false information to his client, the public, when he told them that all charges were considered by the Grand Jury and they elected to only charge one police officer.He didn't present any false information. He just didn't present all possible information. Again, it is sleazy. I am not saying it isn't. I am saying there is some cover up going on to protect some officers at the scene and potentially some political allies.

Emphatically wrong. Breona Taylor was not charged with any crimes, they did not have a warrant for her, and were not even investigating her for any criminal activity.What are you talking about? Breona Taylor was a criminal (yes I am stating this emphatically based on what I've seen of all the evidence on her over the years), and part of criminal activities. The police being there was correct.
A warrant that was gotten under false pretenses (the officer lied to get the warrant) and that they knew should not have been served as a 'no-knock' but apparently did anyway.The officers at the door shooting in self defense were acting correctly as they are trying to serve a warrant.
You are a fucking worthless piece of shit asshole. Did you forget the guy they were looking for was ALREADY IN CUSTODY? Cops had no business being there in the first place. Information used to generate warrant was faulty at best. Now you are defending a PD that is willing to falsify their own reports.What are you talking about?

The police being there was correct. The officers at the door shooting in self defense were acting correctly as they are trying to serve a warrant. The only outstanding issue the shots of the officers not directly at the door and being shot at. If their shots hit Breona, or maybe even the original officer that got shot in the leg, then their actions were illegal. That is the only reason the case is even still requires discussion at this point. There is no "justice" to be had here for Breona's family. If all shots that hit her came from the 2 officers at the door that were being fired upon by Walker, then she is eligible at most for a Darwin award. If she was hit by any of the other officers around the apartment that weren't being fired at then those officers need to be going to prison for their stupidity. That is the last bit of legal investigation that needs to be done and I feel the AG and local DA are trying to cover that up. I can speculate as to why *cough turtle neck Mitch cough* to prevent someone from looking bad. Trying to claim anything more than that is just trying to find outrage that doesn't fit the facts of the case.
I quote the AG:Again, he didn't lie. He presented the charges he brought and they were considered. The grand jury can bring more charges. It's not false info. He only presented the charges for the 2 officers at the door, which were dropped rightly, and the charge of the third officer which should have been investigated further. Again he didn't lie or present false info to them nor the public. He just didn't tell the entire story that could be told. Sometimes that prosecutors are universally known for.
That right there we know to be a flat out lie.I won’t get into the specifics again of the proceedings themselves are secret. But what I will say is that our team walked them [the grand jury] through every homicide offense, and also presented all of the information that was available to the grand jury. And then the grand jury was ultimately the one that made the decision about indicting Detective Hankinson for wanton endangerment.
He answered:Were they presented with any charges for Mattingly or Cosgrove?
Want to defend how that was not him lying to the public?What I will say is that they (the grand jury) were walked through all the homicide offenses, and with that information and the information and facts that were provided to them that we uncovered in our investigation, they made the determination that Detective Hankinson was the one that needed to be indicted here. Yes ma’am.
Emphatically wrong. Breona Taylor was not charged with any crimes, they did not have a warrant for her, and were not even investigating her for any criminal activity.
The warrent was to look for her ex-boyfriend, which they already had in custody. There was no legitimate reason to execute a search warrant to search for someone they had already caught.
A warrant that was gotten under false pretenses (the officer lied to get the warrant) and that they knew should not have been served as a 'no-knock' but apparently did anyway.
They were in for all reasonable purposes breaking and entering when they entered her apartment. It is literally just a thin technicality that what they were doing was not a felony, and honestly it should be looked at more closely if that technicality holds up. The entire search warrant excuse for murdering someone all depends on if they knew at the time that her ex-boyfriend was already in custody.

Joshua Jaynes: Detective’s attorney acknowledges Breonna Taylor search warrant was ‘inaccurate’
An attorney for embattled LMPD Det. Joshua Jaynes said information in a search warrant affidavit related to the deadly raid on Breonna Taylor’s apartment was “inaccurate.”www.fox19.com
What crime was Breonna Taylor charged with? Article listing more misinformation about Breonna that you so willing to promote because you don't give a shit. Just another black life snuffed out by the CJS
I quote the AG:
That right there we know to be a flat out lie.
then in the official press conference he was asked this question:
He answered:
Want to defend how that was not him lying to the public?
I know she wasnt' charged with crimes nor convicted. Doesn't mean she isn't a criminal in the general sense. She committed crimes and was part of criminal activities for which she was part of the investigation. There was enough evidence that had she been alive, she would have more than likely been convicted of crimes. That's why I said I am stating that she is a criminal. Not that the legal system had stated she was. She was used by the drug dealers precisely because she had no criminal record.
To bad that is not what the warrant was for, the warrant was for the capture ofAnd yes, there was a legit excuse for the search warrant. She was running the sugar house. She was basically holding the money for the trap house.
Yes, they did. And the Judge is even concerned about it, as of Oct 1.No one lied to get a warrant.
The Louisville judge who signed a search warrant for Breonna Taylor’s home that ultimately led to her death said Thursday she is concerned that the detective may have lied to obtain the warrant.
The office lied on the sworn affidavit.According to the affidavit Louisville Metro Police Detective Joshua Jaynes wrote for the search warrant, Glover used Taylor's apartment as his home address. Jaynes also wrote that he "verified through a U.S. postal inspector that Glover has been receiving packages" at Taylor's apartment. The Courier Journal reported May 12 that a sworn affidavit from Jaynes said Glover was seen walking into Taylor's apartment one January afternoon and left with a "suspected USPS package in his right hand" then drove to a "known drug house" on Muhammad Ali Boulevard. But Louisville's U.S. postal inspector, Tony Gooden, told WDRB News in May that a different agency (which he did not identify) had asked in January to look into whether Taylor's home was receiving suspicious mail. The office had concluded that it wasn't, Gooden said.
Care to submit any piece of evidence or credible source that would support this?
It seems that in subsequent posts you are using different definitions of 'crime' and 'criminal' to suit your needs.

Yes, they did. And the Judge is even concerned about it, as of Oct 1.
The office lied on the sworn affidavit.
In a PIU investigation, released this month, Det. Jaynes is seen telling investigators he didn't intend to mislead the judge.
"I could have worded a little bit differently in there," Jaynes said.
PIU investigators wrote in their summary the wording in the affidavit was "misleading."
"I think it was a good faith mistake. He didn't need to lie about that. He had so much other evidence to establish probable cause," Clay said.
Clay pointed to surveillance photos Detective Jaynes took at Taylor's apartment, showing Glover leaving with a suspected USPS package.
"Whether it's USPS, whether it's Amazon, whether it's UPS, there's still reason to believe packages were being sent to that address," Clay said.
...
"If you were to take that statement out, which is what a court does when it analyzes search warrants and the sufficiency of the affidavit, if there's something in there that's wrong or false, the court takes that out and says 'okay what do we got left?"' he said. "I believe there's overwhelming evidence of probably cause here."
