Charlie Kirk Murder Suspect Due in Court
Judge rules Tyler Robinson may wear civilian clothes with minimal shackling amid high-profile murder case and death penalty threat, citing presumption of innocence.
- On Thursday, Fourth Judicial District Court Judge Tony F. Graf Jr. ruled Tyler Robinson may appear in civilian clothes during Utah County pretrial hearings but must be shackled in the least restrictive restraints.
- Attorneys have gone back and forth over courtroom attire and media access, with defense attorneys asking to ban cameras, warning of a 'content tornado' that could affect jurors.
- Robinson, 22, was taken into custody 33 hours after the shooting and was formally charged shortly after with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, tampering with a witness, and violent offense.
- Prosecutors said they will seek the death penalty against Robinson if convicted, and the Fourth Judicial District Court will weigh media-motion filings after attorneys review case status.
- Extraordinary media interest has raised questions about jury impartiality, as Fourth Judicial District Court Judge Tony F. Graf Jr. noted images of jail clothes may circulate and upcoming status hearings will weigh media concerns.
