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.
