Opinion

Opinion By: Jack Conway, Attorney General; Amye L. Bensenhaver, Assistant Attorney General

Open Records Decision

This matter having been presented to the Attorney General in an open records appeal, and the Attorney General being sufficiently advised, we find that the Commonwealth's Attorney for the 28th Judicial Circuit is not obligated under the Kentucky Open Records Act to provide Carlos Cochran with a video recording of grand jury proceedings conducted on May 6, 2009, in Division II of the Pulaski Circuit Court, Indictment # 09-CR-00120. It is the decision of this office that 00-ORD-116, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference, is dispositive of this issue. Pursuant to KRS 61.878(1)(h), the Commonwealth's Attorney may withhold all records, including grand jury records, pertaining to criminal investigations or criminal litigation that are compiled and maintained by his office. We therefore affirm his denial of Mr. Cochran's request.

A party aggrieved by this decision may appeal it by initiating action in the appropriate circuit court pursuant to KRS 61.880(5) and KRS 61.882. Pursuant to KRS 61.880(3), the Attorney General should be notified of any action in circuit court, but should not be named as a party in that action or in any subsequent proceeding.
