District Court Judge Tony Graf ordered measures to prevent the comments by Utah County prosecutor Christopher Ballard from tainting potential jurors should the case go to trial.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But Graf rejected a request by defense lawyers that he penalize the prosecution for Ballard\u2019s comments by blocking them from seeking the death penalty for Robinson.<\/p>\n

Ballard spoke to media outlets regarding speculation that test results of a bullet fragment recovered from Kirk\u2019s body could exonerate Robinson. The test of the fragment gave \u201cinconclusive\u201d results that the bullet was fired from a rifle that Robinson\u2018s DNA was allegedly found on.<\/p>\n

Graf ruled that Ballard was in \u201ccivil contempt\u201d of court rules regarding communication with media when he told news site TMZ that, irrespective of the test results, prosecutors had ample evidence to prove Robinson was guilty.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Robinson should he be convicted of Kirk\u2019s murder on September 10, 2025.<\/p>\n

Robinson, 23, was studying to be an electrician at the time of \u200bthe shooting. He is accused of firing a single round from a rooftop, striking \u200bKirk as he debated with students at Utah Valley University in Orem.<\/p>\n

Kirk was credited with mobilizing young voters who helped President Donald Trump win the 2024 election. \u200bHis assassination on stage \u200bin front of \u2060thousands of people was a shocking display of rising political violence in the U.S.<\/p>\n
