Defense lawyers for Tyler Robinson are hitting a major legal hurdle in his death penalty case, arguing the prosecution failed to prove he knowingly created a deadly risk to someone other than Charlie Kirk — the only aggravating factor allowing capital punishment under Utah law. They’re challenging both the evidence and the state’s reliance on hearsay, claiming the prosecution misapplies out-of-state precedents and hasn’t met the high burden of proof. With a September 1st court decision looming, this could either keep the case alive for trial — without the death penalty option — or force a critical shift in how the case proceeds.
