US EditionUtah judge rejects defense’s motion to disqualify prosecutors in the Charlie Kirk killing case
Judge rules deputy prosecutor's child's presence at the event did not affect prosecutorial decisions, allowing Utah County to pursue the death penalty against Tyler Robinson.
- A judge in Utah refused to remove the Utah County Attorney’s Office from prosecuting 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who is charged with aggravated murder in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. Prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty, and Robinson has not yet entered a plea.
- The defense argued there was a conflict of interest because a deputy county attorney’s adult daughter was present at the rally when the shooting occurred. They also claimed the quick decision to pursue capital punishment reflected emotional bias.
- State District Judge Tony Graf ruled there was no significant risk that Deputy County Attorney Chad Grunander would be improperly influenced. Kirk, a co-founder of Turning Point USA, was addressing a crowd of about 3,000 people when he was shot.
