On October 9, defense for Tyler Robinson, charged with murder of Charlie Kirk filed a motion that he be allowed to appear in regular clothes and without shackles. Robinson's next court appearance is on October 30 for an in person hearing.
The defense mentioned that a similar motion was granted in Bryan Kohberger case. Both, KSL Utah and ABC 4 Utah reported on some details of the motion.
I have covered two of Robinson's court apoearances live.
"Indeed, given the pervasive media coverage in this case, the repeated and ubiquitous display of Mr. Robinson in jail garb, shackles, and a suicide vest will undoubtedly be viewed by prospective jurors and will inevitably lead to prospective juror perception that he is guilty and deserving of death"-- KSL Utah
Robinson’s attorneys argue that because this is a high-profile case, making court appearances in inmate clothing can damage the public’s view of Robinson and sway their 'presumption of innocence.' They state that this order will protect his rights to a 'fair and impartial trial' and 'maintain courtroom decorum and dignity.' He has no criminal history and, upon information and belief, has been polite, deferential to jail staff, and without any disciplinary issue while in the Utah County Jail." ABC 4 Utah
