Defense Team for Alleged Charlie Kirk Assassin Tries to Delay Trial Once Again
“The defense just succeeded in moving a deck chair on the Titanic.”
Now that Karmelo Anthony has been found guilty and sentenced to 35 years, we can turn our attention back to another high-profile case, that of Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk.
Robinson’s defense team is signaling that they have absolutely nothing to work with by repeatedly trying to delay the trial. They are once again making an issue about cameras in the courtroom.
FOX News reports:
Utah prosecutors ask judge to shut down delay tactics in Charlie Kirk assassination case
Utah prosecutors are asking the judge overseeing the case against Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin to reject a defense effort to further postpone a preliminary hearing nearly nine months after the suspect’s arrest.
Lawyers for 22-year-old Tyler Robinson have asked Judge Tony Graf Jr. to push back the routine hearing as they appeal his denial of their motion to ban news cameras from the high-profile case.
“Defendant cannot show that a stay is necessary to prevent additional prejudice from media coverage of his preliminary hearing, when this Court has already found that he failed to show that a public preliminary hearing would prejudice him at all,” Deputy Utah County Attorney Christopher Ballard wrote in a court filing Saturday.
Robinson’s attorneys filed an appeal with the Utah Supreme Court and then asked Graf to push back the hearing while they await a response.
“Nor can Defendant show that he is likely to prevail on appeal (assuming one is granted), or that a stay is not adverse to the public interest in the prompt disposition of criminal trials,” Ballard added. “Moreover, there is no need for this Court to stay the proceedings pending disposition of the petition for interlocutory appeal. If the Utah Supreme Court concludes that such a stay is warranted, that court can stay the proceedings.”
Erika Kirk has argued that her husband’s assassination was public and her mourning process has been public, so the trial should be public as well.
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley appeared on FOX News this week to discuss this and nearly laughed his way through recounting the tactics of the defense saying, “The defense just succeeded in moving a deck chair on the Titanic.”
Turley called the evidence against Robinson “overwhelming” and said that “If this was a game of Clue, it would be over. Right? Colonel Mustard would be gone.” Watch the whole thing below:
Tyler Robinson Case
In a new filing, Deputy Utah County Attorney Christopher Ballard argues the defense has failed to meet any of the legal requirements necessary to halt proceedings while they appeal Judge Graf’s decision to allow cameras in the courtroom.

imagine trying to weed out the lefty lunatics in this case and the lugi case…ugh
btw,, blk female atty in dallas proclaims that her only prayers are with the murderer karmelo and that the victims family are wht supremacist pigs …..dailymail
A defiant Texas activist called Austin Metcalf’s family pigs and urged the public to pray for his killer, Karmelo Anthony.
Thelma Anderson, a former Dallas attorney who had her law license suspended in March, shared her thoughts on Anthony being found guilty of murdering Metcalf on Tuesday evening on an episode of the Roland Martin Unfiltered podcast.
‘First and foremost, the one thing that I would ask for people to do at this moment is pray for the Anthony family because they have been legally lynched for the last year,’ Anderson, 39, told Martin.

I bet she didn’t even lose her Twitter account. Hey, Democrat Rules.
She said legally lynched. Might as well get a rope to fulfill her expectations. She demands equity, not equality. The goal was to get a jury so hamstrung as to not even get a manslaughter verdict…. Using the Acme ™ brand George Floyd Lighter Fluid to start a riot hasn’t worked….yet. Imagine if Trayvon was packing a weapon and offed Zimmerman… What if Michael Brown had successfully gotten the officer’s weapon?
Thelma Anderson, in my opinion, is a disgrace to the human race. She wants people to pray for the Anthony (grifter) family, instead of the victim’s family, because they are BLACK, and the victim is WHITE. She is showing just how Racist and ignorant she actually is, and I am glad that she has had her Law license suspended. People as ignorant as this woman should not be practicing any kind of Law !
female atty in dallas = black supremacist pig, and proud of her role.
Still, she worships the mud Hildog Clinton wallows in.
These lawyers charge by the hour right. That should be disallowed because essentially what they are doing by delaying the trial is running up the bill.
How about contempt of Court charges for the frivolous defense lawyers?
Preliminary hearings, when in a more reasonable era the sentencing phase would be long past.
So much for the 6th Amendment, huh?
Our society is so broken by Progressivism. The law is just one place – replacing Rule by Law with Rule by Tribe. America will never recover if we don’t get a couple of generations raised up out of the Progressive mire.
What has the sixth amendment got to do with it? The sixth guarantees the defendant the right to a speedy and public trial, if he wants it. He can waive that right if he likes, and many defendants do. Meanwhile the prosecution is not entitled to these things; if the defendant asks for a delay or for privacy, and the judge agrees that these things would be in the public interest, then the prosecution has to lump it.
it was in the defenses best interest to get the speedy trial especially b/c pos was seen by many in the murderous act and of course confessed to it ( hoping that that tactic would elicit a defense of he was forced to do the deed)
now they move on to the appeals and again gain money via crowd funding and the ever present need to have racial strife as their energizer
Huh?! What are you talking about? It’s the defense that wants to delay. No one saw him in the act, and he did not confess to it. There’s no conceivable self-defense argument. And no, they don’t “move on to the appeals”. These are interlocutory appeals of preliminary rulings. There hasn’t even been a preliminary hearing yet. Nor does racial strife have any connection to this.
I’d hope for his execution to be public.
If he doesn’t get the needle then I expect someone will take care of it another way.
This seems to me more politics than tactics. They don’t want this trial occurring until after the mid-terms. No sense having this front and center during campaign season. Having voters reminded how the leftist/socialists created the climate of hate that resulted in assasination just won’t do.
Hrm. Interesting theory. But I think you need more evidence to lock it down. It’s one thing to say “I question the timing” but I don’t think that’s sufficient.
Do we have any information on the defense team’s politics? Are the lawyers involved paid by lefty affiliated group(s)? Have they tried to argue that politics is pushing for a faster trial? Have local politicians been using this case as part of their campaigns?
Absent the answers to these questions, I’m not prepared to inject politics when a rather more simple answer is right there: lawyers get paid by the hour
Defense expects the public to lose interest in this trial. They could be right. Keep it going, therefore.
35 years. Probably out in 12. That’s not really a good outcome.
1. Wrong case.
2. He definitely won’t be out in 12. He won’t even be eligible for parole until he’s served 17.5, and he’s unlikely to get it then.
3. Even in the unlikely event that Texas elects a Democrat governor, that won’t directly help him because the governor has no power of clemency. To achieve a pardon or commutation the governor would have start nominating Democrats to the Pardons and Paroles Board, and each of those nominations would have to be approved by the state senate, which is even less likely to fall into Dem hands than is the governorship. Only once the board had a Democrat majority would clemency for Anthony be possible.
unless those rules are changed
How could they be changed? A constitutional amendment requires a 2/3 vote in both chambers, followed by a majority vote at a referendum. Do you really think that’s possible to achieve here?!
Thelma Anderson, in my opinion, is a disgrace to the human race. She wants people to pray for the Anthony (grifter) family, instead of the victim’s family, because they are BLACK, and the victim is WHITE. She is showing just how Racist and ignorant she actually is, and I am glad that she has had her Law license suspended. People as ignorant as this woman should not be practicing any kind of Law !
At least no one can argue that his defense team was competent. 😉
the msm will create “truths” that karmental is in danger by wht supremacists while incarcerated to help further their “justifiable” blmplo street armies racial attacks on whts
