Overview
- Monday’s hearing centers on whether to release transcripts and audio from an October closed session and on rules governing future public and camera access.
- Robinson’s defense and the sheriff’s office pushed to bar cameras, but the judge previously called a blanket ban disproportionate and imposed targeted limits on what can be shown.
- A coalition of local and national news organizations, including Fox News and the Associated Press, filed to intervene for recognition and advance notice of any closure attempts.
- Prosecutors have charged Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder and related offenses and have said they will seek the death penalty if he is convicted.
- An in-person hearing on Jan. 16 will address a defense motion to recuse a prosecutor due to an alleged conflict tied to a relative’s presence at the shooting.
