Local prosecutors in the Utah trial of accused Charlie Kirk’s killer, Tyler Robinson, faced a grilling in court on Tuesday from Robinson’s lawyers, who want them removed from the case.

Robinson’s lawyers allege that the presence of the Utah County Attorney’s chief deputy Chad Grunander’s 18-year-old daughter at the Sept. 10, 2025, murder of Kirk creates a conflict of interest, and that it therefore should be disqualified from trying the case. During a hearing in Utah court on Tuesday, Robinson’s lawyers questioned Utah County Attorney General Jeffrey Gray, Grunander, and Grunander’s daughter.
