If the court finds that the property belongs to the parents, this would bypass Tennessee Public Records law which has determined that the documents are a matter of public interest.
Uh, why would something that be considered relevant for public interest be given to anyone BUT the public?
Is this whole thing as stunningly stupid as I think it is? The families will also see it...when the public sees it. That's why the Public Records law exists.
They're not suing to have the manifesto be public. They're suing to have the manifesto be owned by the family of the shooter who pinky swear they'll give the rights to the victims' families, and neither of them will ever show it to the public.
