Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson is seeking to disqualify Utah prosecutors on the case over a conflict of interest.
Robinson fatally shot TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025 during an event at Utah Valley University.
Robinson was charged with:
– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child
Utah prosecutors are also seeking the death penalty.
Robinson, 22, has three public defenders: Kathy Nester, Michael Burt, and Richard Novak.
Robinson has not entered a plea.
Tyler Robinson’s defense attorneys on Friday were back in court and sought to disqualify several prosecutors from the Utah County Attorney’s Office.
A child of one of the Utah County Attorney’s Office prosecutors was 85 feet away from Charlie Kirk and police rushed in to protect her.
NBC News reported:
The man accused of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk at a Utah Valley University event last September returned to court on Friday as his defense attorneys sought to disqualify prosecutors in the case over an alleged conflict of interest.
Robinson, 22, has been charged with aggravated murder in connection with the Sept. 10 shooting of the conservative activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA while he was speaking to a crowd at an event. He has not yet entered a plea in the case, and prosecutors with the Utah County Attorney’s Office are seeking the death penalty.
Defense lawyers, however, allege that the Utah County Attorney’s Office has a conflict of interest because the child of one of its prosecutors was at the Utah Valley University event.
The family member was allegedly within 85 feet of Kirk, and law enforcement was deployed to the area to keep her safe, according to Robinson’s attorneys during an Oct. 24 hearing.
