New Actor: Erika Kirk Demands Evidence Transparency

On July 9 in Salt Lake City, Erika Kirk filed a court request asking the judge to make all evidence admitted at defendant Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing viewable to courtroom attendees.

In the filing, Kirk argues that victims’ rights include being able to see exhibits shown in court and asks the judge to reveal materials that have been restricted from public display, according to Fox News and TMZ.

Robinson, 23, is charged with murder in the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and the weeklong preliminary hearing that began Monday is to determine whether he will stand trial, Utah News Dispatch and PBS report.

As the hearing continued, prosecutors played more video, including a clip in which Robinson told a roommate "he wishes he hadn't done it," ABC7 Bay Area reported.

Earlier this week, a former officer testified about finding a "sniper pad" on a nearby rooftop after the killing, as prosecutors work to establish probable cause to bind the case over for trial, PBS said.

Utah News Dispatch says the preliminary hearing is scheduled to run through this week, after which a bind-over decision on whether Robinson will face trial is expected, consistent with PBS’s description of the hearing’s purpose.
