Media and Fair‑Trial Rights

Tyler Robinson has asked Judge Tony Graf to disqualify the Utah County Attorney’s Office over an alleged conflict after a deputy prosecutor’s adult child was in the crowd at the Jan. 16 Utah Valley University rally, and his lawyers separately moved to bar a close‑range color video of Charlie Kirk’s shooting from the Feb. 3 disqualification hearing as irrelevant and likely to be widely rebroadcast. Prosecutors counter that the child did not see the shooting, is neither a victim nor a material witness and that there is "virtually no risk" of bias, while legal experts say disqualifications on such grounds are rare, the district is pressing toward a death‑penalty prosecution, and the judge is weighing limits on cameras amid defense delay‑accusations and the victim’s widow’s calls for a speedy trial.
