Candace Owens has strongly reacted to the latest court fight in the case involving Tyler Robinson. She questioned why the case is moving ahead when key federal evidence is still not shared.
In a detailed post, Candace Owens said Robinson’s defense team is simply asking for more time because agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have not handed over files they have held since September. She called this a “perfectly reasonable request.”At the same time, lawyers for Erika Kirk are pushing to move forward with the preliminary hearing.
They say they already have enough circumstantial evidence and plan to challenge some of the defense’s discovery requests. Candace Owens openly questioned this move. She asked why anyone would want the hearing to go ahead without DNA data and full chain-of-custody records tied to the videos expected to be used in court.
Calling the situation “outrageous,” she argued the case should not proceed until all evidence is shared.
Candace Owens questions Erika Kirk lawyers as Tyler Robinson case faces forensic update and court delay battle
The reaction comes just as new forensic details have added more weight to the case. According to TMZ, citing a newly unsealed report, a bullet fragment recovered from Charlie Kirk was linked to a .30 caliber round. Investigators say this matches a Mauser 98 .30-06 rifle that prosecutors believe was used by Tyler Robinson.Earlier tests had failed to give a clear answer. That uncertainty had given some room for the defense.
But now, prosecutors say they are confident. Utah County Deputy Attorney Christopher Ballard told TMZ, “Generally, when a bullet fragment analysis comes back as inconclusive, that means the fragment did not contain enough detail for the examiner to say one way or the other. There’s just not enough there to determine whether the bullet was fired by a particular firearm.
”
Ballard added that the prosecution has “ample evidence” and plans to present everything at the preliminary hearing and later at trial.At the same time, Tyler Robinson’s legal team is also trying to block cameras in court. As reported by CNN, they argued that heavy media coverage is hurting his right to a fair trial. They pointed to reports, including one by the New York Post, that claimed he appeared to confess based on lip-reading during a past hearing.However, media groups, prosecutors, and Erika Kirk have opposed that request, saying public access is important.
Judge Tony Graf has already shown concern about how livestreams are handled, even pausing one earlier after courtroom rules were broken.The shooting of Charlie Kirk happened on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University during a public event. Now, with a key hearing coming up and the possibility of the death penalty, the fight over evidence, timing, and fairness is only getting more intense.
