Defense seeks to block videos of Charlie Kirk’s killing in murder case, claims bias
Defense argues media coverage and graphic videos risk juror bias and seeks to exclude cameras; prosecutors oppose limits citing need for transparency in high-profile murder case.
- On Tuesday, defense attorneys asked the court to block videos and remove cameras from the Utah courtroom, citing bias concerns.
- Citing juror bias concerns, defense attorneys argued media exposure can cause a `biasing effect` and moved to disqualify prosecutors due to a deputy county attorney's daughter attending the rally.
- Prosecutors said videos include footage showing the bullet striking Kirk, blood coming from his neck and Kirk falling from his chair, while a television camera operator violated orders by zooming in on Robinson during the Jan. 16 hearing.
- Seeking the death penalty, Utah County prosecutors urged Judge Tony Graf to keep proceedings open, arguing the case will remain in the public eye and transparency must not be compromised.
- Graphic videos drew millions of views, leaving the case nationally prominent as Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA co-founder, spoke to an estimated 3,000 people amid 2024 election-related political rhetoric.
