Media and public access have been a dominant issue during the early stages of the high-profile case.

The owners of Provo Towne Centre plan to modify or tear down parts of the mall to create a new mix of retail and housing with an outdoor concept. But the community that’s grown there worries about what it means for them.

Utah remains one of the fastest-growing states in the nation, but new population estimates highlight uneven growth patterns.

Douglas Stewart Carter is asking a judge to throw out his aggravated murder case. The Utah Supreme Court last year ordered a new trial due to misconduct by investigators.

This dry winter hasn’t spelled much action for city snowplows, but year-round public works staff are busy with preventative maintenance and road repairs.

The 18-year-old daughter of one of the Utah County prosecutors working the case was at the UVU event where Charlie Kirk was killed. The daughter said she’s “totally fine” now, but the defense argues it muddies the decision to seek the death penalty.
