Defense flags potential conflict after prosecutor's child attended Kirk shooting event
Defense for Tyler Robinson, charged with the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Provo, Utah, argues the county attorney’s office should be disqualified over a deputy prosecutor’s adult child being at the September UVU event where Kirk was killed. The office says there was no conflict, noting the child did not witness the shooting or see a gun. Legal experts say such conflicts are rare and disqualifying an entire office is unlikely; the judge will decide whether an actual conflict exists and what remedy is appropriate, with the case resuming soon and involving the prosecutor, his adult child, and an investigator.
