💨 Abstract

A Utah judge ruled that the 22-year-old accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk may wear street clothes instead of prison attire during his trial to avoid biasing the jury. The defendant, Tyler Robinson, faces the death penalty if convicted. The judge allowed civilian attire but denied a request to remove handcuffs, though media restrictions on broadcasting images of him restrained were imposed. Kirk, a prominent conservative figure, was shot during a public event, deepening political divisions.
