Tyler Robinson

The 18-year-old daughter of one of the Utah County prosecutors working the case was at the UVU event where Charlie Kirk was killed. The daughter said she’s “totally fine” now, but the defense argues it muddies the decision to seek the death penalty.

One of the prosecutors working the case has an 18-year-old daughter who was at the Utah Valley University event where Charlie Kirk was shot. Robinson’s defense team wants the entire Utah County Attorney’s Office kicked off the case.

Two media attorneys reviewed the transcript and told KUER that the October hearing in question for Charlie Kirk’s accused killer could have happened mostly in public.

About a page's worth of words of the 80-page October transcript was redacted for security reasons. The scope of redactions is smaller than what Robinson’s defense team originally requested.

The hearing dealt with public and media access in the high-profile case, as well as a gag order. Robinson’s attorneys are pushing to limit media, including cameras in the courtroom.

The 22-year-old accused of murdering Charlie Kirk is presumed innocent until proven otherwise, Judge Tony Graf said, and therefore will be dressed as someone presumed innocent.

Within the week, Utah County prosecutors said they will share the evidence they used to charge Tyler Robinson with his defense. The next hearing, scheduled for Oct. 30, will again address the question of waiving a preliminary hearing.
