CRITIQUE / OPINION by Lorraine Yuriar (Dana Loesch's Substack) — "Kirk Preliminary Hearing - Day 1" (published 2026-07-07).
This is a third-party critique ABOUT the Charlie Kirk / Tyler Robinson case — NOT the court record. Indexed for comparison against the primary transcripts/filings AND against what the commentators actually said. Source: https://danaloesch.substack.com/p/kirk-preliminary-hearing-day-1

The post recaps Day 1 of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing and criticizes Owens for promoting conspiracy theories that contradict the court evidence. Owens claimed Kirk's death was caused by 'an exploding mic,' but the autopsy evidence presented at the hearing confirmed 'homicide by a bullet to the neck.' The post documents that Owens 'spent the better part of the day telling her fans not to trust any of the evidence presented in court,' and that she leaked text-message exchanges that actually undermined her claims about her relationship with Kirk. It notes Owens attacked Kirk's colleague Andrew Kolvet after he revealed that Kirk 'managed' her communications. The core criticism is that Owens pushes debunked theories while the forensic record establishes cause of death.
