Summary
Attorneys for the media and for Kirk's widow, Erika, who has attended this week's hearing, had urged the judge to make Twiggs' statements and other evidence public. “To not be transparent, to not be open and let the world see what happened will create doubt and distrust in the judicial system,” Kirk family lawyer Jeffrey Neiman told Graf Wednesday. Kirk was declared dead after being taken to a hospital. Robinson has not entered a plea in the case.
Furthermore, State District Judge Tony Graf will decide at the conclusion of this week's preliminary hearing if prosecutors have enough evidence to bring Robinson to trial. Investigators found the suspected murder weapon — a bolt-action rifle with one spent round — wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near where Kirk was shot. Neiman wrote that Erika Kirk and Kirk's parents had waited 10 months for the hearing but at times have been denied the chance "to meaningfully observe" it.
In addition, DNA testing "is the gold standard in forensic science," said Quarino, a professor and director of the forensic science program at Cedar Crest College in Pennsylvania.
