in a statement on Tuesday, the anonymous grand juror said that Cameron did not give the jury an opportunity to pursue homicide charges against the two officers who shot Taylor, Jon Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove. “The grand jury was not presented any charges other than the three Wanton Endangerment charges against Detective Hankison,” the juror wrote. “Questions were asked about additional charges and the grand jury was told there would be none because the prosecutors didn’t feel they could make them stick.”
“The grand jury didn’t agree that certain actions were justified, nor did it decide the indictment should be the only charges in the Breonna Taylor case,” the juror wrote. “The grand jury was not given the opportunity to deliberate on those charges and deliberated only on what was presented to them.”

The voting office assured her the ballot had been mailed but as of Oct. 10, Madison still hadn’t received it. As someone who had been voting for the past 50 years, she was not prepared to miss voting on what she described to CNN as “the most important vote that we’ve ever had.” Two days later, she and her son set off from Zion at 6:30 a.m. on the long journey toward Detroit, arriving at the city hall at around midday. Donning a black mask with the word “vote” on it, Madison rolled her wheelchair into the polling station, with the help of her son, and cast her ballot. “At least I made it,” Madison said. “I made it and voted for the people I wanted to vote for, and I hope they win. But I felt satisfied that I was not going to miss voting.” On the same day, Madison and her son drove back to Illinois. “I’m glad I (voted),” Madison told CNN, “because I haven’t seen a ballot yet.” Madison, who has a history of political activism, urged others, young and old, to come out and vote. “We must vote,” she said. “You just start at 18 and keep on going to until the very end … They all count.”
