Judge Delays In-Person Hearing For Alleged Charlie Kirk Assassin

The in-person hearing in Utah County for Tyler James Robinson, 22, who is charged with aggravated murder in the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has been postponed until January, according to a Saturday report.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed to postpone the hearing, Utah Fourth Judicial Court Judge Tony Graf Jr. announced during a virtual session this week.

Graf also granted a defense request allowing Robinson to appear in civilian clothing at future pretrial hearings, agreeing with the argument that wearing jail attire could prejudice potential jurors.

“Mr. Robinson shall be dressed as one presumed innocent,” the judge said.

Graf ordered Robinson’s attorneys to provide civilian clothing at least 72 hours before each hearing. Both sides had previously agreed that Robinson would be permitted to wear civilian attire during his trial.

The judge also prohibited media outlets from photographing or filming Robinson’s restraints, as well as from capturing images of the 22-year-old entering or exiting the courtroom, Newsweek reported.

“This is a high-profile case with strong public interest,” Graf said during the hearing, per Newsweek.

Robinson participated in the hearing remotely and did not appear on camera, but confirmed to the judge that he could hear the proceedings. Last week, prosecutors and defense attorneys met in a closed-door session to address several issues, including the defense’s request for Robinson to appear in civilian clothing and without restraints.
