No recording or sharing grand jury information
The law bans anyone present at a Kentucky grand jury from recording testimony or evidence. You also cannot disclose or publish anything you saw, read, or heard there, at any time. Limited exceptions apply for actions allowed by the Kentucky Rules of Criminal Procedure, and for Commonwealth’s attorneys, their staff, and peace officers on official duty. Penalties: recording is a Class A misdemeanor; disclosure is a Class D felony. If the violator is a public servant, the penalty increases by one class. Employers who break related grand jury confidentiality rules face a Class B misdemeanor. Other willful violations of the grand jury statutes without a stated penalty are Class A misdemeanors.
