Chancery Court Judge I'Ashea Myles ruled that the writings of the Covenant School shooter, a transgender individual responsible for a tragic shooting in Nashville, would remain private due to copyright protections now held by the victims' families. This unique arrangement, stemming from the transfer of ownership from Hale's family to the victims' families, aims to prevent the release of the materials, reinforcing the notion that the copyright law supersedes public records requests under Tennessee law.
The families of the victims praised Judge Myles' decision, expressing relief at the ruling which aims to deny the shooter the notoriety they might have sought. The family of Cindy Peak, an adult victim, emphasized the relief they felt, highlighting the emotional challenges faced over the past year and a half since the tragedy, indicating a desire to protect their loved ones' memories from further exploitation.
