Erika Kirk's lawyer, Jeff Neiman, said Wednesday that the video interview authorities conducted with Lance Twiggs, Tyler Robinson's ex-roommate and lover, should be played in court with no redactions, warning that anything less would create "doubt and distrust in the judicial system."

"The Kirk family believes strongly that if the evidence is being admitted in this preliminary hearing, it should be made public for the world to see no redactions. This court has tools at its exposure, tools at its disposal to make sure the defendant receives a fair trial. You'll use them if you find that you need to," Neiman said.

"That's it, your Honor, to not be transparent here, to not be open, to not let the world see what happened, will create doubt and distrust in the judicial system. And that's not what anybody wants. That's not what any of us believe should happen here. And we'd ask the court to consider the position of the family in making its ultimate decision," he added.

As Neiman spoke, Erika Kirk was seen crying in the courtroom.

PROVO, Utah — In an emotional moment in the gallery during the second day of a preliminary hearing for Charlie Kirk's accused assassin Tyler Robinson in a Utah courthouse Tuesday, the victim's widow Erika Kirk reached forward to hand a tissue to a crying woman in the row in front of her.

Over the course of the hearing, the Kirk family has been given permission to come and go to avoid painful testimony.

At one point Tuesday, as defense attorney Richard Novak cross-examined the case's lead investigator, David Hull, the Kirk family left the room as the testimony turned to the fatal gunshot.

They returned about 10 minutes later when the topic had changed, with Erika Kirk leaning on her mother-in-law, Kathy Kirk.
