Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer Tyler Robinson fails in bid to get top prosecutor thrown off the case

A Utah judge tossed Tyler Robinson’s bid to boot prosecutors from his murder case because one of the prosecutor’s daughters was at the rally where Charlie Kirk was killed.

Judge Tony Graf found the choice by the prosecutor’s office to pursue the death penalty against Robinson wasn’t influenced by the daughter’s presence at the public assassination of the conservative leading light on Sept. 10, 2025.

The judge read his ruling during a video hearing held Tuesday in the Provo, Utah case.

Robinson could not be seen on video and he spoke only to answer Graf’s question about whether he could hear everyone.

“Yes, I can your honor,” Robinson answered.
