Erika Kirk has told a Utah judge that restricting access to evidence in the murder case of her husband, Charlie Kirk, risks fuelling 'speculation and conspiracy theories,' after parts of a video interview connected to accused gunman Tyler Robinson were withheld during a preliminary hearing this week. Judge Tony Graf said on Thursday that not every exhibit would be shown publicly as he seeks to protect Robinson's right to a fair trial.
For context, Charlie Kirk, founder of the conservative youth organisation Turning Point USA, was killed while debating students at Utah Valley University last September. Robinson is accused of murder, though no trial date has been set and he has not been convicted.
