US EditionErika Kirk Calls for a Christian Revival as Tour Starts at Riverside Church
Sen. Mike Lee’s calls for public execution of Charlie Kirk’s accused killer risk prejudicing the trial as Utah prosecutors seek the death penalty.
- This past week, Sen. Mike Lee repeatedly called for Tyler Robinson's public execution on X, echoing his earlier post from January 15, 2025.
- Charlie Kirk was murdered on Sep. 10, 2025 at Utah Valley University; Utah prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Tyler Robinson, while Erika Kirk pushed for a faster trial accusing delay tactics.
- Observers noted deeply held opinions and disagreed about whether Lee's remarks crossed a line, with Clayton Simms, Utah attorney, warning pre-trial comments can taint juries and Matt Throckmorton, former Utah State Representative, saying public officials joining the dialogue is expected.
- Kirk's prominence from campus debates has amplified public attention to the case, with a filing stating `Nobody believed in the importance of the United States Constitution more than Charlie Kirk,` increasing scrutiny on proceedings.
- Critics argued a senator calling for execution clashes with constitutional duties and norms, while Sen. Lee referenced Margaret Thatcher and 1800s duels, asserting the Constitution does not guarantee the right to cause undue delay.
