Judge rules alleged Charlie Kirk killer can stand trial

Original: Judge rules alleged Charlie Kirk killer can stand trial for capital murder

A judge has ruled that the man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk is competent to stand trial for capital murder. The decision clears the way for proceedings to move forward in a case that has drawn intense national attention since Kirk's killing. Coverage so far is limited to the ruling itself, with no details released on the reasoning behind the judge's decision or a trial date.

Why now: The case remains one of the most closely followed US criminal proceedings, and the ruling is a major step toward trial.
