Defense Tries To Stall Justice For Charlie Kirk With Last-Minute Legal Tricks

This isn’t just about a murder trial anymore; it is becoming a battle over the integrity of the legal system itself. Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, is at the center of a firestorm, and his legal team is pulling every lever available to remove the Utah County Attorney’s Office from the case.
