Attack of the Fanboy
Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, is attempting to block graphic video footage of the shooting from being introduced as evidence during an upcoming court hearing.
Recommended VideosRobinson, 22, is charged with fatally shooting Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, during a public speaking event at Utah Valley University last September.
They argue that introducing graphic video evidence serves no purpose in resolving that issue and would instead risk immediate and widespread publication if shown in open court.
The newest thing that Tyler Robinson's defense wants to keep secret from the public is video of Charlie Kirk's murder.
Robinson’s attorneys argue this creates a conflict for the Utah County Attorney’s Office, while prosecutors have denied the claim and said the individual will not be used as a witness.
