 Part of the interest in the record stems from the fact that the shooter may have been identified as a transgender man. Some pundits have floated the theory that the journals will reveal a planned hate crime against Christians. Court filings say the shooter left behind at least 20 journals, a suicide note and a memoir. When the record's requests were denied, several parties sued and the situation quickly ballooned into a messy mix of conspiracy theories, leaked documents, probate battles and accusations of ethical misconduct.
