Utah man seeks to bar death penalty in Charlie Kirk shooting
TL;DR
Robinson’s lawyers ask the court to strike the aggravating factor that would make him eligible for the death penalty, arguing prosecutors haven’t shown he knew his shot would endanger others at the Charlie Kirk event; prosecutors counter that the evidence supports an enhanced penalty, with a Sept. 1 hearing scheduled to decide whether the case moves forward.
