\n

Utah<\/a> prosecutors are asking the judge overseeing the case against Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin to reject a defense effort to further postpone a preliminary hearing nearly nine months after the suspect’s arrest.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for 22-year-old Tyler Robinson<\/a> have asked Judge Tony Graf Jr. to push back the routine hearing as they appeal his denial of their motion to ban news cameras from the high-profile case.<\/p>\n

“Defendant cannot show that a stay is necessary to prevent additional prejudice from media coverage of his preliminary hearing, when this Court has already found that he failed to show that a public preliminary hearing would prejudice him at all,” Deputy Utah County Attorney Christopher Ballard wrote in a court filing Saturday.<\/p>\n

Robinson’s attorneys filed an appeal<\/a> with the Utah Supreme Court and then asked Graf to push back the hearing while they await a response.<\/p>\n

“Nor can Defendant show that he is likely to prevail on appeal (assuming one is granted), or that a stay is not adverse to the public interest in the prompt disposition of criminal trials<\/a>,” Ballard added. “Moreover, there is no need for this Court to stay the proceedings pending disposition of the petition for interlocutory appeal. If the Utah Supreme Court concludes that such a stay is warranted, that court can stay the proceedings.”<\/p>\n

Robinson was arrested in September 2025 in connection with the assassination of Charlie Kirk<\/a> during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University.<\/p>\n

Much of the evidence prosecutors plan to use has already been revealed publicly, according to Ballard, and Robinson’s defense hasn’t proven a “realistic likelihood of prejudice” if the hearing is open to the public, he added.<\/p>\n

The preliminary hearing, an early step in many criminal cases, has not yet been held, and as a result, Robinson has not yet entered<\/a> a plea.<\/p>\n

The hearing requires prosecutors to show they had probable cause to arrest the defendant, thereby allowing the case to proceed toward trial.<\/p>\n

The hearing was most recently delayed from the week of<\/a> May 16 to the week of July 6.<\/p>\n

Typically, to be granted a stay in a Utah criminal case, the defense must show a likelihood that their appeal will prevail, a likelihood of “irreparable harm” that outweighs any harm to any other party \u2014 and that the stay “is not adverse to the public interest,” according to Ballard’s filing.<\/p>\n

He argued that Robinson’s lawyers haven’t met any of those criteria.<\/p>\n

“Defendant must satisfy all three elements,” he wrote. “<\/em>He hasn\u2019t satisfied even one. In fact, he ignores this rule.”<\/p>\n

Not only do delays hurt the prosecution, Ballard argued, they also hurt Erika Kirk<\/a>, Charlie’s widow and the designated victim’s advocate in the case. She has invoked the victim’s right to a speedy trial under Utah law.<\/p>\n

Attorneys for two groups of media outlets, one of which includes Fox News and Fox News Digital, are also expected to file a response to Robinson’s appeal this week.<\/p>\n

In a separate, 51-page filing, Robinson’s defense also asked the judge to block hearsay testimony at the hearing, arguing that Utah laws that permit it are unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
