Read the full storyCourt of Appeals Oral Argument in Covenant Case: Attorney for Tennessee Star Says Trial Court Decision Citing Copyright Claim Creates Legal ‘Black Hole’
A panel of three judges on the Tennessee Court of Appeals on Thursday heard oral arguments for the lawsuit brought by Star News Digital Media, Inc. (SNDM), which owns and operates The Tennessee Star, and Editor-in-Chief Michael Patrick Leahy, which seeks to compel Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) to release the complete writings of Audrey Elizabeth Hale, who killed six at the Covenant School on March 27, 2023.
Leahy and SNDM initially sued in May 2023, after Metro Nashville refused to comply with a Tennessee Public Records Act (TPRA) request seeking the voluminous writings left by the killer, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation. Chancery Court Judge I’Ashea L. Myles later allowed a group of Covenant parents to intervene in the lawsuit, as they claimed to own the copyright to the killer’s written works, and claimed that the government could not release them without the permission of the copyright owners.

However, while our streets and communities are patrolled by public safety authorities, our children roam a much less supervised digital world that leaves them exposed and vulnerable.
Over the past month, Memphis has seen a dramatic surge of law enforcement. This “Memphis Safe Task Force,” backed by President Trump’s administration, Governor Bill Lee, Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator Bill Hagerty, the Tennessee National Guard, state legislators, and federal agencies, has made over 1,000 arrests in just weeks for offenses ranging from homicides and sex crimes to narcotic trafficking and gang activity.

Since joining the country music bandwagon over 20 years ago, I quickly learned that a lot of country music evolved from bluegrass. I also learned that bluegrass musicians are some of the most talented instrumentalists in the world.

Their artistry has redefined the newgrass space, blending precision musicianship with unshakable authenticity.
