Robinson Lawyers Seek Camera Ban Before Nov. 9 Hearing as Trump Post Raises Jury-Bias Risk

Summary
Tyler Robinson’s attorneys asked a Utah judge again to bar still and video cameras from next week’s hearing, arguing Donald Trump’s late-October post has increased the risk of tainting potential jurors.
Trump blasted the judge on Truth Social after the defense floated a 2029 trial timeline, saying the Charlie Kirk case should be tried “within a month” and calling for “JUSTICE FOR CHARLIE!”
The defense said the Nov. 9 proceeding is only a scheduling hearing with no witnesses or evidence, so public access can be preserved through in-person attendance and reporting without electronic media coverage.
Robinson, 23, is charged with killing 31-year-old Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025; prosecutors want a Jan. 31, 2028 trial, while the defense has proposed late 2029.
