In the petition, Strickland stated that he was unaware that his interviews with police were being recorded and he consequently provided personal information.
According to the documents, Ashley was in “clinical shock, active trauma and acute distress” following her mother’s death and she did not want the recordings of interviews to be made public.
The petition also states the family wants to prohibit the disclosure of Naomi’s medical records.
Tennessee law typically allows law enforcement records to be released, but police are permitted to hold records during an ongoing investigation. Once an investigation is closed, the records are usually released, according to theAssociated Press.
