The email also stated that the writer was willing to go to jail to eliminate Leahy, referring to him using derogatory language and accusing him of seeking the manifesto for personal gain.

The email advised Leahy to contact the police if he wanted to ensure his safety.

Victims Need Dignity

According to The Tennessee Star, a digital newspaper affiliated with Leahy’s Star News Network, a parent named Erin Kinney, whose nine-year-old child was one of the victims, expressed her opinion in a message to the court.

In her message, Kinney criticized those seeking the release of the manifesto, claiming that they showed no concern for the well-being and dignity of the victims. She accused them of trying to exploit the tragedy for their own curiosity.
