A Utah district judge will soon review disputed evidence from last year’s shooting of a conservative activist to determine whether probable cause exists for a trial. The hearing follows the introduction of new evidence in July, raising questions about the strength of the case against the defendant. Legal experts and observers will be watching closely as the judge weighs whether the material justifies proceeding to a full criminal trial. The outcome could have significant implications for both the accused and the victim’s family.
Utah District Judge Tony Graf Jr. will hear arguments over evidence introduced in July, to decide if there's enough probable cause for a trial in the shooting of the conservative activist last year.
