Charlie Kirk Murder Suspect
Please, Judge, Keep the Cameras Away From Me!!!
Published
Tyler Robinson is making another appearance in court Friday … this time asking the judge not to allow cameras into his trial because of the media’s biased coverage of his case — and, we’re live-streaming it for you.
The alleged murderer will appear alongside his attorneys, while his defense asked a judge to stop live streaming coverage of the trial.
His lawyers say the live streams are being used to commodify the trial instead of serving their intended purpose — which is to educate the public on the proceedings.
Robinson’s side specifically cites an article from December … which they say suggested he admitted guilt for shooting Kirk while citing lip-reading analysis.
As you know … cops arrested Robinson a couple days after Charlie Kirk was shot to death at Utah Valley University in Orem, UT.
Prosecutors are expected to seek the death penalty in the case … though Robinson has not yet entered a plea in the case.
Media organizations — including the Associated Press — prosecutors and even Charlie’s widow, Erika Kirk, have argued cameras should remain in the courtroom in order to battle misinformation that may come out as the trial continues.
