A Utah judge has ordered the release of a transcript from a closed-door hearing in October over whether the man charged with killing Charlie Kirk must be shackled during court proceedings. State District Judge Tony Graf said Monday in ordering the transcript's release that public transparency was "foundational" to the judicial system. Graf had earlier rejected a request by the defense that Robinson not be shackled. Prosecutors have charged Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder in the Sept. 10 shooting of the conservative activist Kirk on the Utah Valley University campus in Orem. They plan to seek the death penalty. Robinson has not yet entered a plea.
