Overview

• Utah’s Fourth District Court approved Michael Burt and Richard Novak to appear alongside lead counsel Kathryn Nester for Tyler Robinson.
• Nester asked for a 30-day continuance, telling the judge the case will involve massive digital discovery and extensive materials expected from prosecutors this week.
• State prosecutors are pursuing an aggravated murder case eligible for the death penalty, drawing on dozens of videos, thousands of potential eyewitnesses and scene reconstruction.
• Investigators say Robinson acted alone and allege his DNA was recovered on a Mauser .30-06 rifle linked to the shooting, with his parents credited for helping facilitate his surrender after a 33-hour manhunt.
• The Justice Department has not ruled out a separate federal case, Robinson remains jailed without bail, and his next in-person court date is set for October 30.
