US EditionCharlie Kirk: Defense Seeks More Time in Assassination Case
The defense requested up to 60 days to review extensive evidence against Tyler Robinson, who faces aggravated murder and possible death penalty charges, officials said.
- On September 29, 2025, Tyler Robinson appeared via audio at a waiver hearing in Utah County Court and Judge Tony Graf set the next hearing for Oct. 30, allowing Robinson to appear in person.
- Defense lawyers asked for a 30- to 60-day pause to review prosecutors' voluminous evidence rather than waive the preliminary hearing.
- Investigators released text messages and a note showing Tyler Robinson's planning, while prosecutors say DNA on ammunition and rifle link him to the killing.
- Judge Tony Graf issued a gag order Monday barring trial participants from influencing jurors or revealing evidence, while Tyler Robinson faces aggravated murder charges and possible death penalty, prosecutors say.
- With trials likely years away, Coumou predicted `the process will take probably years` and said defense may focus on jury selection and mental health issues, affecting the community at Utah Valley University.
