Summary
When Kentucky attorney general Daniel Cameron investigated the night Breonna Taylor was killed, his office concluded that the two officers who shot Taylor acted in good faith while executing the warrant provided. The Department of Justice’s investigation, however, suggests the warrant itself had false information, without which officers would never have been at Taylor’s home in the first place. Now a candidate for governor, will Cameron pay for his inattention in this high-profile case?
Guest: Tessa Duvall, Frankfort bureau chief for the Lexington Herald-Leader.

| 0:51.8 | has covered Louisville and the state. Fancy Farm is actually a fundraiser for a church out in |
| 0:58.3 | Western Kentucky. It's been this annual picnic for 142 years. We're here at the Fancy Farm picnic |
