Nashville Chancellor I’Ashea Myles started hearing arguments this week from lawyers hoping to have records related to the mass shooting at The Covenant School released to the public. The hearing, which is expected to last into Wednesday, will determine whether some records are released. The Tennessean reports that the key to the case is whether to apply a state rule exempting records that are part of a "pending or contemplated criminal action" from release. Lawyers on different sides of the case differed on the application of the rule given the current status of the police investigation of the shooting.
