The Utah judge is set to rule tomorrow on key legal issues in the Tyler Robinson case, including potential sanctions and what evidence will be allowed at the July preliminary hearing in the Charlie Kirk killing. Fox's Chanley Painter with more.

[Chanley Painter]

These key rulings from the judge will be coming just a couple of weeks ahead of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing where prosecutors must present enough evidence to establish probable cause that Robinson is the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk as he spoke at Utah Valley University last September. So tomorrow we expect the judge to rule on a defense motion asking for sanctions against prosecutors special, specifically blocking them from seeking the death penalty, all as punishment for comments the defense say prosecutors made to the media in violation of a gag order. Prosecutors say, however, they have a right to speak to the press to correct misinformation, especially after a defense filing suggested that the bullet fragment recovered from Charlie Kirk's body could not be matched to the alleged murder weapon tied to Robinson.

[Ted Lindner]

The judge also expected to rule on a defense motion to prohibit hearsay testimony from the upcoming preliminary hearing. A multi agency manhunt for the suspect accused of shooting at several cars on the highway in Kansas City Tuesday, now entering its fifth day. One person was killed, four others hurt. The alleged gunman also accused of firing at a car days earlier. Elsewhere In Kansas, the FBI is offering a $25,000 reward for any info leading to the arrest and conviction of Oscar Sanchez Munoz. Police say he's considered to be armed and dangerous. They're asking anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact the department. And more. World cup action yesterday, the Netherlands routing Sweden 5 1, Germany scoring a late winner to beat Ivory Coast 2 1. Ecuador and Curacao battle into a scoreless draw in Japan, shutting out Tunisia 404 more matches are set for today. You can watch all the action on Fox FS1 and the Fox One app. I'm Ted Lindner and this is Fox News.
