Overview
- The court released the Oct. 24 hearing transcript with about 246 words removed from roughly 80 pages and said a redacted audio file will follow in about two weeks.
- Judge Tony Graf denied formal intervenor status for media organizations but required prosecutors and defense to give notice before seeking to close hearings or records.
- The closed session focused on courtroom conditions; Robinson may appear in civilian clothing but must remain restrained during proceedings.
- Graf has prohibited publishing images of Robinson’s shackles and previously halted a livestream, citing security and potential juror prejudice.
- A Jan. 16 hearing will address the defense motion to disqualify the Utah County Attorney’s Office, while prosecutors continue to pursue the death penalty.
