Tyler Robinson’s court hearing took a strange turn Friday when a Utah judge barred a media videographer from filming Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin in the courtroom over lip-reading concerns raised by the defense.
Utah District Judge Tony Graf prohibited the pool cameraman from filming the 22-year-old murder suspect, warning close-up footage of him could prejudice the remainder of the hearing.
“During the remainder of this hearing, the camera shall not photograph Mr. Robinson at all,” Graf ruled.
“That will be the sanction of this court. I will allow the pool camera operator to reposition the camera to adhere to that.”
The decision came after Robinson’s attorneys brought up their concerns with Graf, arguing the videographer zoomed in on their client, capturing their conversation, ABC 4 reported.
