New York Attorney General Letitia James says a judge has ruled to unseal and publicly release the grand jury proceedings related to the investigation of Daniel Prude’s death.
This comes after James announced Tuesday that a grand jury has declined to indict any police officers related to the death of Daniel Prude.
“As I have contended throughout my entire career, there can be no accountability without transparency, and the public deserves to know what transpires behind closed doors," James said in a statement. "That is why I filed a motion with the court to have the grand jury proceedings of this case unsealed and made available to the public, which the judge has just granted this evening. As soon as the judge authorizes, my office will release those proceedings so the Prude family, the Rochester community, and communities across the country will no longer be kept in the dark. This is a critical step in effecting the change that is so desperately needed.”
