Graphic videos showing the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on a Utah college campus have gone viral, drawing millions of views. Screenshots from such videos were offered Tuesday as evidence in the murder case against Tyler Robinson, the man charged in Kirk’s killing. But the full videos were not aired after defense attorneys objected out of concerns that the footage would undermine Robinson’s right to a fair trial. The defense also wants to remove cameras from the courtroom, arguing that biased news outlets could taint the case. Prosecutors and Kirk’s widow urged the judge to keep proceedings open. Legal experts say media coverage in high-profile cases can bias potential jurors.
