Tyler Robinson, the man accused of the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, is seeking to ban cameras from his courtroom proceedings, arguing that live broadcasts are jeopardising his right to a fair trial.
His legal team is set to appear in court on Friday to argue that biased media coverage is prejudicing potential jurors in his aggravated murder case. They have highlighted a New York Post story as a key example, which they claim falsely suggested Mr Robinson confessed to Kirk’s killing during a court conversation on 11 December. Despite the conversation with his attorneys being inaudible, the story cited a "lip reading analysis" to support its assertion that Mr Robinson said, "I think about the shooting daily."
