About 20 hours of Breonna Taylor grand jury proceedings have now been made public after Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron hit out at 'repugnant' critics who called him a 'race traitor' for his handling of the case. 

The rare release of such material on Friday comes a week after Cameron, a Republican and the state's first black AG, announced that the jury would not bring murder charges against the three Louisville police officers for Taylor's killing. 

A court ruled that the content of the proceedings, typically kept secret, should be released. 

Cameron, whose office led the investigation into the police actions the night the black EMT was shot dead in her apartment, did not object to the file's release. 

But on Wednesday, his office asked for a week's extension to edit out personal information from the material. The judge gave him two days. 

The audio recording of the jury proceedings will be added to fired Officer Brett Hankison's public court file. 

Hanksion, who was one of the three officers who shot his weapon during the raid, was charged with three counts of wanton endangerment for firing into a neighboring apartment. No one was hit in the neighboring apartment.
