A Tennessee judge is weighing whether to allow the release of a Nashville school shooter's writings after a two-day hearing concluded Wednesday

A Tennessee judge on Wednesday seemed ready to agree with an attorney for Nashville police that the writings of a school shooter could be released as public record once the investigation is officially closed. But the parents of children at the Covenant School added an extra twist to an already complicated case by asserting that they have gained legal ownership of the writings from the shooter's parents and now hold the copyright.

Myles seemed to take exception to that interpretation. “Right now, you're asking me to adopt an interpretation of this statute that information written in a journal should be construed as a plan related to school security,' she said. She noted that any decision she makes is sure to be appealed and will have to survive the scrutiny of a higher court. Eric Osborne, the parents' attorney, had yet another reason to keep the writings secret.
