Charlie Kirk murder suspect can wear civilian clothes in court, judge says
Charlie Kirk murder suspect can wear civilian clothes in court, judge says
The man accused of killing right-wing activist Charlie Kirk will be allowed to wear civilian clothes during pre-trial hearings to avoid prejudicing potential jurors, a Utah judge has said.
Judge Tony Graf said Tyler Robinson will be required to wear restraints during hearings, but photo or video of him in restraints will be barred.
Robinson, 22, was arrested on aggravated murder charges on 12 September, more than a day after Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University.
During a Monday court hearing, Judge Graf acknowledged massive interest in the case and urged that Robinson's "presumption of innocence remains".
"Balancing these factors, the court finds that Mr Robinson's right to the presumption of innocence outweighs the minimal inconvenience of permitting civilian attire," Judge Graf said, according to a local Fox News affiliate.
Judge Graf said that given the severity of the charges, Robinson will remain in restraints, but that it must be the "least restrictive" option.
He said although Robinson has no prior criminal history, the charges against him are extremely serious and present courtroom safety concerns.
"The safety of Mr Robinson, the attorneys, court staff, and the public must remain the court's highest priority," Judge Graf said.
The emotional nature of these proceedings also raise the risk of disruption," he added. "Given these factors, the defendant's request to appear without restraints is denied.
Robinson was not physically present in court for the virtual hearing on Monday. His next in-person court appearance is scheduled for 16 January.
Robinson is accused of seven charges, including aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and felony discharge of a firearm.
Utah County prosecutors have said they are seeking the death penalty in his case.
