A Utah judge on Tuesday refused to remove the local county attorney’s office from prosecuting the man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The defense had argued a conflict of interest existed because a prosecutor’s adult daughter was present at the shooting.
Prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty against 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who is charged with aggravated murder in the Sept. 10 shooting on the Utah Valley University campus in Orem. Robinson has not yet entered a plea.
