Alleged Charlie Kirk Assassin Allowed to Wear Street Clothes at Trial
A Utah judge ruled that the 22-year-old alleged killer of US conservative activist Charlie Kirk may wear street clothes during his trial, instead of prison attire, to avoid biasing the jury.
Tyler Robinson, charged with fatally shooting Kirk, a close ally of US President Donald Trump, faces the death penalty if convicted.
- Robinson's lawyers argued that appearing in a prison uniform would influence potential jurors.
- The judge agreed, stating that Robinson's right to the presumption of innocence outweighs the minimal inconvenience of permitting civilian attire.
