Lawyer Criticizes Tyler Robinson Defense Attorney Over Charlie Kirk Hate Allegation
Prosecutors say Tyler Robinson targeted Charlie Kirk, and the case will go to a jury after a judge found enough evidence for capital murder.
- On Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026, Tyler Robinson pleaded not guilty to seven charges in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, as Utah District Court Judge Tony Graf ruled sufficient evidence supports a capital murder charge.
- Deputy Utah County Attorney Chad Grunander argued Robinson "targeted" Kirk due to his political and religious beliefs, citing a text message where the defendant claimed he had "enough of his hatred."
- Defense attorney Richard Novak argued Kirk's public rhetoric on marriage and gender identity constituted "hate," suggesting the activist's statements provoked the defendant's actions.
- The Kirk family said the ruling "marks an important step in our family's pursuit of justice," while Attorney Jeffrey Neiman represented their interests as a jury will now decide the case.
- Robinson faces seven counts including aggravated murder and felony discharge of a firearm stemming from the September 10, 2025, incident at Utah Valley University in Orem where Kirk was killed.
