Utah County accuses Tyler Robinson legal team of ‘ambush’ effort to disqualify prosecutors


Utah County prosecutors blamed the legal team for the accused Charlie Kirk killer Tyler Robinson on Friday of launching an “ambush” maneuver aimed at delaying the case and forcing local prosecutors off the high-profile murder prosecution.

Robinson, 22, is charged with aggravated murder in the Sept. 10 shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at an Utah Valley University event in Orem. The Utah County Attorney’s Office has said it will seek the death penalty if Robinson is convicted.
