… allows Erika Kirk and family to be treated with respect, with dignity, to be free from harassment, to be informed, and present at the trial. But I would love for him to cite Utah code 773872. You know what that gives Erika Kirk and her family? "The right to a speedy disposition of the charges, free from unwarranted delay caused by or at the behest of the defendant." Where's Judge Tony Graff's affinity for that statue? Because you are not giving that to Erika Kirk. You are not giving that to that family. Yes, the defendant has Sixth Amendment rights to a speedy trial -- a litany of other rights."
"But the fact that this is not going to be decided until September, there's no decision on probable cause? Probable cause is such a low bar. To your point, ballistic evidence, DNA evidence, there's a texted conviction, there's that roommate saying he confessed, there's a litany of evidence, and she doesn't get a probable cause decision until September, nearly a year after Charlie was killed? You can't make a decision on the plea of Tyler Robinson? We're not even going to get his plea until a year when Charlie Kirk was assassinated? We're not going to know if this goes to trial into until a year from when Charlie was assassinated?"
"This is inexcusable. I am angry about it. On average in this country, a defendant enters a plea 24 to 48 hours after an arrest. Tyler Robinson has been arrested for nearly a year, and the fact that we would not know this until a year, Utah might as well rip up your statute about the speedy disposition for the victim, because Erik Kirk is being denied that, and I am quite angry about it."
