Judge Weighs Prosecutor Conflict In Charlie Kirk Murder Case
2 weeks ago
A Utah judge is set to decide whether to remove prosecutors from the murder case against Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk during a rally at Utah Valley University.
Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty in the Sept. 10 shooting.
Robinson’s attorneys argue that Deputy County Attorney Chad Grunander has a conflict of interest because his daughter was in the crowd when Kirk was shot.
Judge Tony Graf could remove one prosecutor, the entire Utah County Attorney's Office, or allow the team to remain on the case.
The court is also considering other measures to ensure Robinson’s right to a fair trial, including restrictions on courtroom cameras and video evidence of the shooting.
