Judge vows fairness for Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin: ‘I will not put my finger on the scale of justice’
- On September 30, 2025, Fourth District Court Judge Tony Graf vowed impartiality in Orem, saying `Let me be clear, I will not put my finger on the scale of justice` in Tyler Robinson’s case.
- After the killing, public reaction has been swift and intense, with both grief and political backlash, as Americans process Charlie Kirk’s death nearly three weeks later.
- Evidence disclosed by authorities includes text messages and DNA evidence, and Tyler Robinson, 22, evaded capture for 33 hours before surrendering at his parents' house.
- Fourth District Court Judge Tony Graf imposed extra courtroom limits ahead of Monday's 10 a.m. hearing, while public defenders filed paperwork and asked for more time to review the `voluminous` evidence.
- The next hearing is set for October 30 and Robinson is expected to appear in person; prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty and Utah County officials estimate costs could exceed more than a million dollars.
