Why did both state and regime apparatus try to hide this manifesto when in other cases where the killer suited their agenda's profile better the information was released instantly? This is an interesting 1st Amendment case too.
Judge sets hearing over alleged leak of Nashville school-shooter info to conservative outlet Tennessee judge has ordered a conservative news organization to appear in court over publishing details from allegedly leaked documents about a 2023 Nashville school shooting, while the outlet sues for the same kind of records to be released to the public.
On June 10, Nashville Chancellor I’Ashea Myles set a June 17 hearing for Star News Digital Media and editor-in-chief Michael Patrick Leahy to explain why their recent work on The Covenant School shooter has not violated court orders that could subject them to contempt proceedings and sanctions. She cited the “alleged publication of certain purported documents and information” under seal with the judge in the public-records case.
The Tennessee Star, a Star News publication, says the claim that the Star violated a court order is inaccurate. In part, it reasoned in a story June 11 that it didn’t publish any of the actual leaked images or documents — only some information contained within them.
The shooter who killed three 9-year-old children and three adults in March 2023 at Covenant, a private Christian school, left behind at least 20 journals, a suicide note and an unpublished memoir, according to court filings. Despite the ongoing lawsuits, the documents had already been the subject of leaks.
A few pages of one journal were leaked to a conservative commentator who posted them to social media in November. Part of the interest in the records stems from the fact that the shooter, who police say was biologically female, may have been a transgender man.
