Judge Rejects Defense’s Bid to Close Charlie Kirk Hearings

Advertisement The hearing is intended to be a mini-trial, in which the prosecution will try to exhibit evidence against Robinson to convince a judge that there is probable cause to go to trial.

Judge Graf said Monday that Robinson’s lawyers had not shown that his fears about adverse publicity exceeded the public’s right to an open judicial procedure

The court also said law enforcement officials have already provided reams of information to the public regarding the killing of Robinson and Kirk and that the defense will get a chance to question potential jurors about their exposure to news coverage when the case gets to trial.
