Legal Battle Over Release of Nashville School Shooter's Manifesto Heads to Court
Families of the victims of the Covenant Christian School massacre in Nashville are claiming ownership of Audrey Hale's manifesto, arguing that they inherited it from her estate. They are seeking to block its public release and asserting a copyright claim over the handwritten confession. Multiple lawsuits have been filed to force the government to release the document, which is expected to reveal more about the killer's motive and rage. The judge is expected to weigh in on the issue, but even if the plaintiffs win, an appeal is likely, and the document won't be made public anytime soon.
