Defense seeks disqualification of Utah prosecutors in Kirk killing case

At a Provo court hearing, Tyler Robinson, charged with aggravated murder in Charlie Kirk’s shooting at a Utah Valley University rally, moved to disqualify the prosecution team after it emerged the deputy county attorney’s daughter attended the rally and texted about the shooting, a claim of conflict and potential bias; prosecutors argue there is little risk of prejudice and say the case could shift to other agencies if disqualified; Robinson has pleaded not guilty and DNA evidence ties him to the crime, with a preliminary hearing slated for May 18.
