(Reuters) - Kentucky's attorney general reversed course and said he would release on Wednesday a recording of grand jury proceedings over the police shooting death of Breonna Taylor that resulted in none of the officers involved being charged with homicide.

Attorney General Daniel Cameron initially rejected calls to release the grand jury proceedings, saying those are meant to be kept secret. The outcome of the deliberations over the March shooting of the Black emergency medical technician raised questions over how Cameron, a Black Republican, guided the grand jurors in their decision-making.
