US EditionDefense Does Not Want Video of Charlie Kirk Assassination Shown at Hearing
Tyler Robinson objects to a graphic video of Charlie Kirk’s shooting, citing potential harm to his fair trial rights and irrelevance to disqualification motion.
- On Tuesday, Robinson filed a notice objecting to the state's proposed Exhibit 401, a close-up, color video with audio of Charlie Kirk's shooting, ahead of the Feb. 3 hearing.
- On Jan. 16, 2026 the dispute began over whether the Utah County Attorney's Office should be disqualified because a Utah County prosecutor's adult child attended the Turning Point USA rally, and the defense says intense media attention impedes Robinson's presumption of innocence.
- Citing Rule 403, the defense argued the video is irrelevant, prejudicial, and should remain sealed unless admitted into evidence, involving Rules 401, 402, of the Utah Rules of Evidence.
- Fourth District Judge Tony Graf granted an evidentiary hearing, and the defense will again ask to limit camera coverage at the Feb. 3 hearing.
- The defense warns showing the clip would confuse issues and taint a future jury, while the state submitted still photos and diagrams Robinson does not object to, and Robinson faces capital murder charge and possible death sentence.
