Courts and Fair Trial Rights

A Utah judge is weighing limits on cameras in the Charlie Kirk murder case as the accused shooter delays entering a plea. Tyler Robinson, charged in the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has postponed a plea and sought restrictions on media access to filings and future proceedings. A hearing on April 17 will be open to the public and media, but the judge has already allowed a news camera for that limited proceeding. Prosecutors, Kirk's widow, and news groups have opposed some defense bids to seal records and bar cameras.
