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 offences, 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
A massive manhunt led to Robinson's arrest, and 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.
No potential motive for the killing has been given by officials.
