(CNN)Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron wants to keep grand jury proceedings and testimony secret in the Breonna Taylor case, according to a motion filed Wednesday.
A judge had given Cameron until Wednesday to respond to a motion, filed last week by an anonymous grand juror on the Breonna Taylor case, that seeks the release of recordings, transcripts and reports of the grand jury relating to the case.
The motion asked to "make a binding declaration" that the grand juror has the right to disclose information, particularly to avoid fears that Cameron would attempt to use the court's powers of contempt in case of a public disclosure.
Cameron led the investigation and presented the case to the grand jury.
The grand jury indicted former Louisville Metro Police Department detective Brett Hankison for first-degree wanton endangerment for allegedly shooting through Taylor's home into a neighbor's apartment.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Taylor, 26, was shot and killed by police in her home during a botched drug raid in March. The attorney general said that two officers who shot at Taylor, Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly and Det. Myles Cosgrove, were justified in their use of force because Taylor's boyfriend fired at them first, hitting Mattingly.
Last week, an attorney representing a grand juror suggested Cameron may have misrepresented to the public the case presented to the panel.
Cameron said grand juries operate in secret to protect the people involved.
"Allowing this disclosure would irreversibly alter Kentucky's legal system by making it difficult for prosecutors and the public to have confidence in the secrecy of the grand jury process going forward," he said Wednesday.
Oral arguments are set for Thursday in the case.
Cameron's motion references what he says is a similar case filed by a grand juror in the 2014 police-involved shooting death of Michael Brown in Missouri.
That anonymous grand juror sought to "talk about the experience of serving on a grand jury, the evidence presented and the investigation in a way that could contribute to the public dialogue concerning race relations," but was barred from doing so by state law that requires secrecy about grand jury deliberations.
The court rejected the grand juror's request to completely invalidate the state's grand jury secrecy laws, Cameron said. The case is going through federal court.
