Attorneys on both sides in the case against Tyler Robinson have continued to dispute the role of media coverage in the courtroom.

But Graf ruled that cameras would be allowed in his courtroom for the April 17 hearing

He further noted that while the April hearing would generally be open, portions might be closed to protect privacy and safety concerns.
