A Utah judge on Tuesday afternoon approved a request by Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's widow, for a protective order during the first court appearance in the case since the late-conservative activist was fatally shot last week.
Suspected shooter Tyler Robinson appeared in court virtually to hear the charges filed against him, which include aggravated murder and two counts of obstruction of justice. Robinson was arrested last week.
Prosecutors filed the protective order before the hearing, which bars Robinson from contacting Erika Kirk and her family in any form. Judge Tony Graf approved the order and set the next court appearance in the case for Sept. 29.
Graf also approved Robinson's request for a court-appointed attorney, and said the alleged shooter will be jailed without bail while the case plays out.
Robinson has not yet entered a plea.
Charlie Kirk was considered one of the most influential voices on the right in recent years, notably founding Turning Point USA, which has chapters at universities across the country and hosts speakers' summits for young conservatives.
From what I read, the protective order prohibits Robinson from contacting Erika Kirk's family in any form. I didn't read anything about a protective detail.

Why would anyone threaten a grieving widow?
Evil has no bounds.
She needs military production.

What is the precedent and reason of a protective order on someone who will not be leaving custody LOL

You never know when some leftist judge will release someone on his own recognizance, sneak him out the back chamber door...
I know it’s weird ! I understand protection from the other sickos but this was kind of … but by all means if she asked for it !
dude apparently never watched enough forensic files. he would have known that you just dont get away with it
