Kirk, joined by her late husband Charlie Kirk’s parents, filed a motion to the court requesting that all currently admitted evidence be “published during the proceedings scheduled for July 9,” and that all evidence admitted for the rest of the hearing be “displayed openly and in real time, so that all persons lawfully present in the courtroom may see it,” ABC 4 reported. The filing requests that all evidence be published to those present in the courtroom; however, it does not address the camera or those in the media not physically present.

Throughout the proceedings so far, certain pieces of evidence have been admitted to the court, meaning they will be considered in the final ruling but not disclosed to those present in the courtroom. Most recently, 17 minutes of Tyler Robinson’s roommates’ 37-minute recorded testimony were admitted into evidence but redacted from public view.

The filing argues that the Kirk family was “denied the very thing their presence was meant to secure: their ability to meaningfully observe the preliminary hearing.” The motion also warns that a lack of transparency means “speculation and conspiracy theories related to the tragic assassination of Mr. Kirk will continue to proliferate in the public domain, breeding doubt and distrust in the judicial system.”

“For ten months, the Victim’s Family has waited for this preliminary hearing,” the filing states. “Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, and his grieving parents traveled to this courtroom for one reason: to be present at these proceedings and to bear witness to the evidence concerning the death of their husband and son.”

The hearing is set to continue Thursday at 9 A.M MDT. It is expected that the judge will rule on the Kirk family’s motion at this time.
