A Utah county attorney prosecuting the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk rejected defense claims that his office has a conflict of interest and should be disqualified from the case.
At a hearing in Provo, Utah County Attorney Jeffrey Gray defended his office’s \u2060decision to seek the death penalty for the 22-year-old suspect, Tyler Robinson, who is charged with seven criminal counts in the shooting death of Kirk at a Utah college campus last year.
Defense attorneys have argued that the decision to seek the death penalty for Robinson less than a week after Kirk’s death showed a “strong emotional reaction” by one of Gray’s senior prosecutors, whose 18-year-old daughter witnessed the September 10 killing.
Testifying before District Court \u2060Judge Tony Graf, Gray said he relied on his 25 years of knowledge about conflicts of interest to decide there was no risk of bias in his office prosecuting the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
