As the legal fight over the release of the Covenant School shooter’s writings continues, The Tennessee Star’s lead reporter, Tom Pappert, is sharply criticizing one of the central arguments raised in the latest appeal to the Tennessee Supreme Court, focusing on claims that the materials are protected by copyright.
Speaking during Monday’s edition of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show, Pappert argued that the effort by Metro Nashville, Covenant-associated parties, and intervening parents to block further disclosure based on copyright claims is fundamentally flawed, especially given that many of the documents are already publicly available.
