Contempt ruling in Utah Kirk case could strip death penalty
TL;DR
A Utah judge will decide whether prosecutors violated a pretrial publicity order in the Charlie Kirk killing case and, if found in contempt, whether the death penalty should be removed as a possible punishment; the judge will also determine if hearsay evidence can be used at the upcoming preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson, who faces aggravated murder and related charges.
