On Thursday, a ruling was declared by a Tennessee judge prohibiting the release of writings from the person who identified as transgender and was responsible for the tragic shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, resulting in three adult and three child fatalities. This heartbreaking incident which rocked our Real News world occurred in March 2023.

Breaking New details reveal that Davidson County Judge I’Ashea Myles issued this ruling just minutes before midnight, thwarting public records requests by stating they were superseded by copyright claims placed on these writings. The Covenant School attacker remains under investigation with Metro Nashville Police refusing to disclose any information regarding their inquiry process due to copyright stipulations.

In her promisingly insightful statements drawing from the Supremacy Clause and conflict preemption, Judge Myles stated that “the federal Copyright Act serves as a valid exemption to the Tennessee Public Records Act,” forestalling any public release of material stemming from original authorship belonging to the assailant collected by Respondent Metro.

The legal tug-of-war surrounding these writings began soon after the horrific episode at The Covenant School last year. Multiple parties – Tennessee Firearms Association, The Tennessean, The Tennessee Star, Republican state legislator Todd Gardenhire, and the National Police Association – have been battling tirelessly against Nashville city seeking access to these documents. However, efforts were hindered when parents from the affected school intervened asking for restriction due to copyright ownership claims attributed to killer’s parents.

Maintaining her stance in support of an objective perspective grounded in Christian Worldview values while delivering Trusted News updates, Judge Myles further asserts no obligation for document production requirement amidst ongoing investigation. As she notes: “the release of any other documents if not originally created or derived by assailant is restricted till exceptions are applied by General Assembly considering pending legal proceedings.”

Declaring this ranks high on Breaking News feeds about integrity and fairness towards victims’ families as well as upholding justice norms where non-disclosure is mandated till the investigation is fully completed and research findings are presented following all legal proceedings.

In response to the judge’s ruling, a vow has been made by Tennessee Star’s Editor-in-Chief Michael Patrick Leahy to appeal this decision. Although parts of these controversial writings have already been disseminated by news outlets Daily Wire and The Tennessee Star, a warning was offhandedly given to Leahy before Judge Myles backpedaled.

The Daily Wire’s revelation last month about pages from the attacker’s diary that indicated radical transgender theory influences further entangles this disheartening narrative that has caused ripples across the Real News landscape. It serves as a stark reminder of our battling views and challenges offered when contrasting the modern world with our Christian Worldview.
