Utah Judge Grants Defense More Time in Tyler Robinson Case Involving Death of Charlie Kirk

[00:00] Good morning, your honor. Kathy Nester,

[00:02] Michael Bert, and Richard Novak on

[00:05] behalf of uh Mr. Robinson.

[00:07] >> A Utah judge has granted more time for

[00:10] the defense team of the man accused of

[00:12] killing Charlie Kirk to review evidence

[00:15] before deciding whether to move forward

[00:17] with a preliminary hearing. Prosecutors

[00:20] have charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson

[00:23] with aggravated murder, and they say

[00:25] they plan to seek the death penalty.

[00:28] Tyler James Robinson.

[00:30] >> At a brief hearing in Provo on Monday,

[00:32] Robinson's newly appointed attorney,

[00:34] Katherine Nester, told the court her

[00:37] team needs additional time to go through

[00:39] what was described as voluminous

[00:42] evidence.

[00:43] >> There is a substantial amount of

[00:45] discovery in this case, your honor. It's

[00:47] voluminous to say the least. Um, and

[00:49] we're working on a process where we can

[00:51] exchange information as quickly as

[00:54] possible. Robinson did not appear in

[00:57] person, but instead joined the hearing

[00:59] by audio from jail. Judge Tony Graph

[01:02] scheduled the next court date for

[01:04] October 30th. The case continues to

[01:07] weigh heavily on the Utah Valley

[01:09] University community in Oram, where

[01:11] students are still processing the trauma

[01:14] from the September 10th shooting. Read
