A preliminary hearing in the case of the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is done, for now. Prosecutors aim to show they have enough evidence against Tyler Robinson to proceed to a trial. The 23-year-old Robinson decided not to testify in the hearing. He's charged with aggravated murder in the Sept. 10 assassination of Kirk on the Utah Valley University campus. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. The defense questioned a federal forensic biologist about DNA evidence. State District Judge Tony Graf has scheduled final arguments for Sept. 1.

A weeklong preliminary hearing for the man charged with killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk has paused for the day and will resume Thursday. Prosecutors are aiming to show that they have enough evidence against Tyler Robinson to proceed to trial. The 23-year-old defendant is charged with aggravated murder in Kirk’s Sept. 10 assassination on the Utah Valley University campus. Robinson has not yet entered a plea. Prosecutors and defense attorneys spent much of Wednesday afternoon seeking to sway a judge over what videotaped interviews, texts and other messages should or should not be admitted in the case.

Former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan has been spared from prison for ushering a Mexican defendant out of her courtroom as Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents waited in the hallway. A federal judge fined her $5,000 and cited her otherwise law-abiding life in issuing the sentence. Hannah Dugan resigned as a Milwaukee County judge after her obstruction conviction and had to move amid threats against her family. Her lawyers argued that President Donald Trump’s administration sought to crush her to ensure judicial compliance with courthouse arrests. She faced up to five years in prison Wednesday, but the judge cited her lifetime of public service.

The weeklong preliminary hearing for the man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk has entered its second day. Prosecutors aim to show that they have enough evidence against Tyler Robinson to proceed to a trial. After the hearing concludes, state District Judge Tony Graf must determine if the case should proceed, which experts say is likely. Twenty-three-year-old Robinson is charged with aggravated murder in Kirk’s Sept. 10 assassination on the Utah Valley University campus, for which prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. Robinson’s attorneys have not commented on his guilt or innocence. The preliminary hearing is set to resume Wednesday at 1 p.m.

Prince Harry's final lawsuit against the British tabloids has ended in defeat. A judge ruled Tuesday that Harry failed to prove his privacy invasion claims against the Daily Mail's publisher. Justice Matthew Nicklin said there was a realistic possibility the news came from legitimate sources. The ruling affects lawsuits filed by Harry and others, including Elton John and Elizabeth Hurley, seeking substantial damages. The publisher called it an “overwhelming victory.” The decision leaves a mixed legacy for Harry's legal battles with the press. His litigation has been a primary source of his falling out with his family.
