A Utah Judge will continue to allow cameras in the courtroom in the Charlie Kirk murder trial, but granted the defense’s motion to delay a preliminary hearing in the case until July.

In a video hearing on May 8, Utah Fourth District Court Judge Tony Graf, Jr., denied the defense motion to categorically prohibit any electronic media coverage going forward, saying they had not shown that “such a ban on media coverage for all proceedings in this case is allowed by Utah law.”
