Charlie Kirk shooting suspect seeks to disqualify Utah County Attorney's Office from case
NBC News • • nation
Key Points:
- The man accused of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah Valley University event in September is returning to court as his defense seeks to disqualify prosecutors over an alleged conflict of interest involving a prosecutor's family member present at the event.
- Robinson, 22, charged with aggravated murder, has not entered a plea, and prosecutors are pursuing the death penalty, while his defense claims the Utah County Attorney’s Office may be conflicted due to the proximity of a prosecutor's child to the shooting.
- The defense also filed a motion to allow Robinson to appear in court without restraints and to ban video and audio broadcasting of proceedings, citing concerns about trial fairness; however, Kirk’s widow advocates for full transparency with cameras throughout the case
