PROVO, Utah — Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, filed a new motion this week demanding that all evidence presented during the preliminary hearing for the man accused of killing her husband be made visible to everyone in the courtroom, a request a Utah judge ultimately denied as the proceedings continued into their fourth day Thursday.

Tyler Robinson, 23, is charged with 10 crimes in connection with the September 10, 2025, shooting death of Kirk, who was fatally shot while speaking at a "Prove Me Wrong" event at Utah Valley University in Orem. The charges include aggravated murder, a capital first-degree felony; felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, a first-degree felony; two counts of obstruction of justice, a second-degree felony; two counts of tampering with a witness, a third-degree felony; and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child, a Class A misdemeanor. Robinson has not been convicted, and the charges against him remain allegations that prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.

The preliminary hearing, which began Monday and is scheduled to run through Friday, is intended to determine whether prosecutors have established probable cause for the case to proceed to trial. Judge Tony Graf has presided over several days of testimony and argument, including disputes over how much evidence can be shown publicly in the courtroom given ongoing concerns from Robinson's defense team about protecting his right to a fair trial.
