Kirk Family Seeks Court Order for Open Display of Evidence in Assassination Hearing

Charlie Kirk's widow and parents filed a supplemental notice Wednesday asking a Utah judge to require that all evidence admitted during the remainder of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing be displayed in real time for everyone lawfully present in the courtroom.

The filing also requests that exhibits admitted during the first three days of the hearing that were not shown publicly be republished. Robinson, 23, is accused of assassinating Kirk outside a "Prove Me Wrong" event at Utah Valley University in Orem on Sept.

"The Victim's Family's position is simple.

At a minimum, every exhibit entered into evidence during the preliminary hearing must be visible to every person lawfully present in the courtroom," the court filing read. The document states the family waited 10 months for the hearing and traveled to the courthouse, only to find themselves unable to view certain evidence admitted during testimony.

It argues those protections are meaningless if victims cannot see the evidence being presented. "The right 'to be present' is hollow if the victim or his representative is physically in the room but is prevented from seeing the evidence the Court is receiving," the document reads.

Robinson's preliminary hearing began Monday and is expected to continue through the week. Prosecutors must establish probable cause for the case to proceed to trial on multiple charges, including aggravated murder.
