Tyler Robinson court hearing camera ban

    por Flint: Tyler Robinson

    Tyler Robinson's lawyers want a Utah judge to ban cameras at the October 23rd hearing where a trial date might get set. Their filing claims filming threatens his right to an impartial jury by fueling public bias against him. This motion comes after Utah County reportedly paid $1.6 million to his legal team last month for the case involving Charlie Kirk. Robinson is accused of shooting and killing Kirk during a Turning Point USA event and pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder charges last year. The author rejects this camera ban completely because Charlie Kirk was attacked in public so the judicial process must be conducted publicly without restrictions.
