Tyler Robinson, the man accused of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk in September 2025, appeared in court Friday for a virtual hearing, where a judge issued a mixed ruling on allegations that prosecutors violated a pretrial publicity order. Judge Tony Graf Jr. found Utah County prosecutor Christopher Ballard in civil contempt for publicly stating there was "ample evidence" to prove Robinson's guilt before trial. However, the judge did not hold Ballard in contempt for making public statements correcting what prosecutors said were misleading reports about an ATF ballistics analysis. The judge also rejected the defense's request to bar prosecutors from seeking the death penalty, allowing capital punishment to remain a possible sentence if Robinson is convicted. Criminal defense attorney John Day joins LiveNOW's Alexandra Goldberg to discuss.
