Overview
- Robinson’s attorneys asked the court to strike the State’s Oct. 20 sealed response, saying prosecutors improperly aligned with the Utah County Sheriff’s Office.
- The defense argues the sheriff’s office is a witness lacking standing to file pleadings and should not be treated as a party in the criminal case.
- Judge Tony F. Graf allowed prosecutors to file under seal, citing secure information that could endanger safety, and set a closed hearing for Friday in Provo.
- An interim order permits Robinson to wear street clothes and no restraints for his Oct. 30 waiver hearing, when he is expected to appear in person.
- Robinson, 22, is charged with aggravated murder and several other felonies in the Sept. 10 killing of Charlie Kirk and could face the death penalty.
