Charlie Kirk's Accused Killer Allowed to Wear Street Clothes in Court
A judge has ruled that Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, will be allowed to wear street clothes during his trial, but must be physically restrained.
According to the ruling made by Judge Tony Graf during a virtual court hearing on Monday, 22-year-old Robinson will be permitted to dress in street clothes. This decision comes as Robinson faces charges for the assassination of right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk.
Kirk was killed during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University in September, prompting a 33-hour manhunt that ended with Robinson's surrender to police. Prosecutors have charged him with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, and other offenses.
- Aggravated murder
- Felony discharge of a firearm
- Two counts of obstruction of justice
- Two counts of witness tampering
- Committing a violent offense in the presence of a child
Utah County attorney Jeff Gray stated that they will seek the death penalty in this case.
No additional statement from the court or the parties involved was provided.
