Alleged Assassin of Charlie Kirk Makes Unusual Request Ahead of Court Hearing
Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, has made a request through his lawyers that could impact the fairness of his trial.
Robinson was arrested and charged with seven offenses, including aggravated murder and obstruction of justice, after Kirk was shot and killed at a Utah Valley University event on September 10.
- Aggravated murder
- Obstruction of justice
- Five other offenses
A massive manhunt led to Robinson's arrest less than two days after the incident. If convicted, he could face capital punishment, with Utah being one of five states that still uses a firing squad as a method of execution.
