“His attorneys said they have not had enough time to go over the evidence and prepare, while prosecutors said a delay is unnecessary”
They claim this is an argument about media, but it just looks like a cynical strategy.

Charlie Kirk case stalls as accused shooter delays plea and eyes media limits
Charlie Kirk’s suspected assassin Tyler Robinson returned to court Friday as his attorneys push to exclude news cameras and delay next month’s preliminary hearing months after he allegedly killed the conservative icon in front of thousands at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
His attorneys said they have not had enough time to go over the evidence and prepare, while prosecutors said a delay is unnecessary and laid out four categories that the evidence will be broken into. The defense also argued that allowing cameras in the trial would hinder Robinson’s ability to receive a fair trial, while prosecutors combated that claim.
Following the lengthy hearing, Utah 4th District Court Judge Tony Graf did not provide a ruling. He plans to issue a response during a hearing on May 8 at 3 p.m. MT on whether cameras will be allowed in the courtroom during the trial and whether the preliminary hearing will be delayed.
