Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Attorneys for alleged Charlie Kirk murderer Tyler Robinson on Friday argued that a prosecutor should be removed from the case due to a claimed conflict of interest.
Robinson, 22, and his legal team were in the Fourth Judicial District Court to seek the removal of an unnamed prosecutor because his daughter attended the Sept. 10 Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University in Orem when Kirk was shot and killed.
The daughter also is a potential witness against Robinson and was about 85 feet from Kirk when he was shot, and the Utah County Attorney's Office sent law enforcement to protect her upon learning of the shooting, Robinson's attorneys argued during an Oct. 24 hearing.
They moved to remove the prosecutor from the case and at the very least want him off the case until the motion is either approved or denied.
