PROVO, Utah (AP) — The Utah man charged with killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk returned to court Friday as his attorneys seek to disqualify prosecutors because an adult child of a deputy county attorney attended the rally where Kirk was shot.
Defense attorneys say the relationship represents a conflict of interest after prosecutors said they intend to seek the death penalty against Tyler Robinson for aggravated murder.
Robinson, 22, has pleaded not guilty in the Sept. 10 shooting of Kirk on the Utah Valley University campus in Orem, just a few miles north of the Provo courthouse.
