Judge: Charlie Kirk Assassination Suspect Can Wear Civilian Clothes In Court
3 weeks ago
22-year-old Tyler Robinson, charged in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, scored a small legal victory Monday in court.
The judge in Kirk's murder case ruled in favor of Robinson's motion to wear street clothes at trial, rather than appear in a jail jumpsuit.
The issue of attire was brought to the judge by Robinson's lawyers. They argued jurors could potentially view Robinson as guilty, if they saw him in the prison uniform.
However, Robinson was denied a different motion - to appear in court without handcuffs or restraints.
Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University campus last month.
