Questions & Answers

Q: Why were grand jurors allowed to speak in the Breonna Taylor case?

The court ruling stated that the historical reasons for grand jury secrecy did not apply in this case, as Officer Brett Hankinson had already been indicted and there was little risk of witness tampering.

Q: What charges were presented to the grand jury?

The grand jury was only presented with three wanton endangerment charges against Detective Hankinson, and no charges related to homicide were explained to them.

Q: Is there a chance for a resolution in Jacob Blake's case before the trial?

It is possible, as both sides are discussing potential resolutions. However, the charges against Blake may be dropped due to the excessive force used against him during the police shooting.

Q: Should the defense be provided with a good faith witness list in the Nicholas Cruz case?

While there is no legal requirement for such a list, it would aid the defense in preparing for trial. The defense argues that they need to know who the prosecution intends to call as witnesses to effectively prepare their case.
