Tennessee’s state Supreme Court has vacated a ruling that required police to publicly release their investigation of country singer Naomi Judd’s death.
The Supreme Court did not rule on whether the records can be released, but sent the case back to the lower court for another hearing.
Judd’s family has requested that police records which contain video and audio interviews with relatives in the immediate aftermath of Judd’s death not be made public.

Williamson County Chancellor Joseph A. Woodruff ruled against the Judd family on Aug. 31, denying their request for an injunction to keep the records private while they pursue their legal case. Woodruff said the records “Do not appear to fall within any recognized exception to the Public Records Act.”

The court vacated Woodruff’s earlier ruling and sent the case back to the Chancery Court for a new hearing.
