according to comments this judge also got "demoted" to only try civil cases now
He did.
To be honest, he also acted inappropriately. He basically got a bit too heated and started making judgements and ruling on motions no one had made. That's not something he should be doing as a judge. But, to then remove him from criminal trials entirely is not a good look unless he was just tired of dealing with those two-faced fucking prosecutors.
A woman gets slaughtered in her own home, and this coward was more concerned with his party affiliation and political future, yet still tried to shield his actions by invoking his Blackness.
Not to mention he did this willfully in the midst of the current global conversation that's taking place on race.
Sure, the future Senate seat and potentially governorship might still be there, but this should spell the end of Daniel Cameron's national aspirations as a "rising star."
Rightfully so. Love the fire in her belly and flow of facts. You have to let people know how much of a complete fraud Cameron is.

Cameron gave an interview where he confirms he didn't recommend any charges at all against the other two officers. He told reporters at his press conference last week that he didn't make any recommendations himself.
The fact that they can just pick and choose evidences is so fucked up in the first place, but nobody questions it and it's considered normal
i hate it
i hate it
I mean did he think he was calling a bluff when he made his original statement on the release of the deposition?
Suddenly now hours before it's released he has a serious problem. Not suspect at all.
How are we supposed to take this as anything other than "Oops, I fucked up and don't anyone to see this till I can get rid of some stuff or do some preemptive damage control"?
"Having re-read the transcripts, I realize that there are sections I need to petition to have redacted lest I be disbarred"
This is just like the Mueller report. "This document totally exonerates the officers involved." "Can we see it?" "Oh hell no."
Doesn't seem like the judge has ruled yet. I hate that our legal system let's people wait until the last minute to file this shit when if it was really an issue it would have been clear immediately.
Seems like Cameron was massaging his story to better fit the grand jury evidence last night: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/09/30/us/breonna-taylor-attorney-general-grand-jury-charges/index.html

Asking for a delay with no real reason given? Not suspect at all. Probably hoping in a weeks time, some of the heat will have died down and there wouldn't be as much eyes on this.
I imagine the heat won't die down in his home state, where he has to worry about protests and reelection. The judge will probably admonish him or at least make him state clearly why he requires the delay after publicly acquiescing to the request only days ago.
A Friday noon release won't help him lose the heat that is on him. If anything, it will give people more time to get clear of mind to dissect the proceedings.
A week-long delay would have provided some coverage. A week in 2020 is a month in previous years.

And now releasing it on Friday means larger crowds of protestors since it's the weekend.
He said he wanted to a delay to redact witness names etc. In my experience, it takes roughly the same length of your audio to redact it, and he has roughly 20 hours of recordings, so he would have had plenty of time to have redacted this by the deadline.
My take is that he wanted time to come up with motions to not submit entire portions of the recordings and to gum that up in the courts.

The 15 hours of recordings include interviews with witnesses, audio of 911 calls and other evidence — but few statements from prosecutors.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron's decision to hide behind grand jury blows hole in his credibility.

Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron, who previously said he supported the grand juror being allowed to speak, filed a 90-page motion trying to prevent it today.
He doesn't have any prior legal experience (and technically didn't meet KY constitutional requirements to even run for AG), so he probably didn't realize how bad this would be for him at first.

Should be able to Google it. The KY constitution has a pretty explicit experience clause that Cameron very explicitly didn't meet. There was a lawsuit filed during his campaign, the judge didn't want to issue something that would seem that political (ruling against Cameron would essentially hand the election to his opponent) and left it to voters.
So he does have law experience, just not the KY required 8 years. Not as bad as what I read originally. Shitty, but meh.
Lawsuit challenges eligibility of Republican attorney general candidate Daniel Cameron
The lawsuit alleges Republican attorney general nominee Daniel Cameron hasn't practiced law for eight years as required in the state constitution

The Courier-Journal said:
That said, fuck Cameron.
Edit:
Yeah, missed that. You were correct in your original post.
It's not just that he didn't meet the letter of the law requirements, but the experience he does have is shit like clerking for judges or serving as McConnell's counsel, nothing that would be relevant to the Attorney General position.Lawsuit challenges eligibility of Republican attorney general candidate Daniel Cameron

Yeah, so sorry about that. I missed that in my source.
Though in this case, I pray his inexperience is going to cost him dearly.
Was his opponent a Democrat?
nothing suspicious about this at all....
Such bullshit. I hope they root out all this BS, drag down the AG, and heavily investigate circumstances that led to unqualified persons getting into positions they weren't eligible for (yet).
I served on a grand jury for 7 months, I served on 5 police involved shootings. The State attorneys do everything in their power to make cops innocent. They go through all the semantics of the laws and really push to make anything they do ok.
I was on a case where cops shot a child. The rest of the grand jury did not want to indict because the cop said "it was dark and I was scared". The kid did not have a weapon in hand, it was dark and the cop simply saying he felt "threatened" was basically drilled into our head as being "ok".
It was sickening, I can imagine this juror underwent similar circumstances.

He walks back on his statements just like his turtle master. Truly an ideal protégée.
Any legal proceeding involving a police officer should be public record. Fuck that AG in the soul.
Wait, was this lawsuit appealed? How can you fail to meet the clear black letter law requirement and then the judge just go, "welp, sorry political question?"
I want to say that the judge ruled that though the law doesn't count clerking experience, there was prior precedent to count it so they weren't going to overturn that. I dont know if it was appealed or not, but I think it was too close to the election to matter.
Yes
Yeah, that about confirms my suspicion that he sandbagged it.
He was a rising black Republican and there was no way he was going to put our boys in blue, our HEROES, in jail for the murder they committed.
