The Utah court overseeing the Tyler Robinson case held an evidentiary hearing on Friday regarding the defense’s claims that state prosecutors should be held in contempt over comments the Utah County Attorney’s Office has given to the press over an ATF ballistics report cited in a defense motion. In closing arguments, the defense said that the judge should block the state from seeking the death penalty in the case.
Defense attorney Richard Novak said during his closing that "I think that the number one remedy in this case, your honor, is for this court to preclude the state from seeking the death penalty against Mr. Robinson."
