Erika Kirk, the widow of slain conservative podcaster and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, filed a motion asking a Utah court to speed up the proceedings against his suspected assassin and suggested her constitutional rights could be violated otherwise.

In a court filing on Jan. 16, Kirk’s attorney wrote that Kirk is invoking her rights as a victim to a speedy trial under Utah law, which accords with the speedy trial guarantee in the Sixth Amendment.
