Speaker 3: In Tennessee, the writings of a school shooter may be

33
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: made public after the investigation is formally concluded. This as

34
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: a judge appears prepared to agree with a lawyer for

35
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 3: Nashville Police with more here. Sidney Sumner with Crime Online.

36
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: Now by claiming to have acquired legal ownership of the

37
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: papers from the shooter's parents and to now possess the

38
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 2: copyright the parents of students of the Covenant School put

39
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: a further twist to an already complicated case. During a

40
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 2: two day hearing, eight lawyers argued their cases before Davidson

41
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: County Chancery Court Judge LASAA Miles. However, none of the

42
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: attorneys claim to be experts in copyright law. At times,

43
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: it seemed as though their responses to myles sharp questioning

44
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: concerning the relationship between the Tennessee Public Records Act and

45
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: federal copyright laws served simply to further complicate matters. Ultimately,

46
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: Miles stated that she would draft an order specifying the

47
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: precise question she once answered. She will then decide whether

48
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: the writings can be made public, if at all. Officials

49
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: have stated that the records they have collected for their

50
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: investigation into the March twenty seventh, twenty twenty three incident

51
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: at the Covenant School, an attack which resulted in the

52
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: deaths of three nine year old children and three adult

53
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: staff members, are public information. They have clarified, though, that

54
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: they will not be released until their investigation is concluded.

55
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: A Tennessee State Senator news outlets a gun rights organization

56
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: and a foundation dedicated to law enforcement are among those

57
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: requesting that the materials be made available immediately. They contend

58
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 2: that at this stage, the open investigation is merely a formality.

59
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: The gunman was shot and killed by police at the scene,

60
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: and there are no known additional suspects in the shooting.

61
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: Three other organizations who were granted permission to intervene in

62
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: the case, countered that none of the articles should ever

63
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: be released. Attorneys for the Covenant Parents, the Covenant School,

64
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: and the Covenant Presbyterian Church united to argue that the

65
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: writings are protected by a Tennessee law that safeguards the

66
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: privacy of information, records and plans pertaining to school security.

67
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: They contended that by interpreting the rule broadly, the text

68
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: could serve as a source of inspiration for imitators, therefore

69
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 2: jeopardizing the security of Covenant.

70
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: Miles made it a parrot at the conclusion of the

71
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: hearing that this will not be an easy decision and

72
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: wants more information on copyright law before ruling on the

73
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: school shooter's writings. Now to New Hampshire, as a man

93
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 2: seventeen year old Robert Tullock estimated they would need ten

94
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: thousand dollars to make a move to Australia. Eventually, they

95
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 2: came up with the scheme of knocking on residence doors

96
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: under the guise of performing an environmental survey, then tying

102
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,680
