The Utah judge in the Charlie Kirk murder case ruled Friday to open previously sealed court documents, finding against defense arguments that they would prejudice the accused shooter in the public eye.
Tyler Robinson, facing the death penalty if convicted of Kirk’s slaying, sought to keep certain motions private. He argued they contain information that would only reemphasize accusations and taint a jury pool.
Fourth District Judge Tony Graf Jr. disagreed, finding many of the claims already exist in the public sphere. However, he gave Robinson’s defense team the option to file a redacted version of one motion.
