The Utah judge presiding over alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson’s trial just issued a ruling on multiple requests. Judge Tony Graf granted Tyler Robinson’s request to wear normal, civilian clothing during the trial. However, he denied his request to not wear restraints. Instead, the media will be banned from recording Tyler Robinson entering or exiting the courtroom during the trial.

We covered that unprecedented request in more detail here: MEDIA BLACKOUT? Judge in Tyler Robinson Trial Weighs Complete BAN On Cameras in Courtroom During today's hearing, Judge Graf basically said he isn't ready to rule on that yet. The prosecution and defense must file a joint motion if they want to purse a media blackout on coverage of the trial. The Salt Lake Tribune reported: Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, will be allowed to wear plain clothes at his court appearances rather than a jail jumpsuit, a Utah judge ruled Monday. But, the judge ruled, Robinson can still be visibly shackled when he’s in the courtroom. Robinson’s defense attorneys had asked 4th District Judge Tony Graf to allow their client to wear civilian clothes during his court hearings, and to appear unshackled, in order to preserve his rights to a fair trial and not taint a potential jury. They argued that the case has received intense and unrelenting worldwide attention, and that their request was necessary to maintain his presumption of innocence and protect his rights. Utah County prosecutors opposed that request and argued that jail clothing assists with “safety and identification,” Graf said during a Monday court hearing. The judge ultimately decided that Robinson’s right to a fair trial outweighed the “minimal inconvenience” that it would cause the Utah County Sheriff’s Office, which is in charge of security and transporting Robinson. “Mr. Robinson shall be dressed as someone who is presumed innocent,” Graf announced during a Monday hearing. But Graf denied the defense team’s request for Robinson to appear in court without shackles, saying it was a safety risk. Instead, he prohibited the news media from taking photographs or video footage of any restraints that Robinson may be wearing, and said journalists could not film or photograph him entering or exiting the courtroom — moments when handcuffs and ankle restraints would be likely visible. Attorneys had also asked Graf to consider banning cameras in the courtroom altogether; Graf said Monday that the issue wasn’t ready to be ruled on, and if the prosecution and defense wants to seek a blanket camera ban, they can file a joint motion later. In addition, Judge Graf granted Robinson's request to strike the sheriff's office statement. BREAKING: The judge presiding over Tyler Robinson's case just ruled on requests made by the suspect. He GRANTED: - Robinson's request to STRIKE THE SHERIFF'S statement.- He is ALLOWED to appear in "street clothing" to maintain a presumption of innocence. Wow. pic.twitter.com/vZaBPieW5g — Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagleman) October 27, 2025 Robinson's defense had argued that the sheriff's response should be struck down because the case is with the state, not the sheriff's office. KSL explained: Attorneys for Tyler Robinson want the court to make it clear that the capital murder case against their client is between the defendant and the state, not the Utah County Sheriff's Office. The defense team for the man accused of shooting and killing activist Charlie Kirk on the Utah Valley University campus is asking a judge to strike the latest response filed by the state because they say it reads as though it was filed by both the Utah County Attorney's Office and the sheriff's office. "Where the sheriff's office has not provided any authority affording it standing to file a pleading in a criminal case, and where (the attorney's office) has made no effort to distinguish its own position from that of the sheriff's office, the response should be stricken," the defense motion states.
