Tyler Robinson faces charges in fatal shooting of Turning Point USA founder during Utah Valley University speech
Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of fatally shooting Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk during a campus speech earlier this month, finally has a defense attorney. Kathryn Nester, a former federal public defender with more than 30 years of experience, is spearheading the defense, according to a Utah County spokesperson. Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, was facing a crowd at Utah Valley University as part of a national speaking tour when a sniper's bullet struck him in the neck in the campus courtyard.
In a news release on Wednesday, officials announced Robinson's attorney was approved by the Utah County Commission. "This afternoon, the Utah County Commission unanimously approved a contract to appoint legal counsel for Tyler James Robinson, as required under Utah law and after the court determined he couldn’t afford private counsel," the spokesperson said. "This action fulfills the Commission’s constitutional responsibility to ensure that individuals accused of a crime—who cannot afford legal representation—are provided with a qualified defense."
Nester also serves as an attorney for Kouri Richins, a mother of three accused of poisoning her husband, Eric Richins, in March 2022, according to KPCW. Richins would go on to write a children's book about grief after her husband's death. Richins was slapped with a slew of felony charges, including aggravated murder.

Come on! His dad turned him in, and his furry ratted him out.
I smell an OJ Simpson-style circus in the making.
Why is Robinson still breathing? Kill him and more forward.
Trials aren’t required in this country?
He is a US citizen and does have constitutional rights, regardless of our feelings.
So, he gets a lawyer and a jury.
“””I smell an OJ Simpson-style circus in the making.”””
I predict he will cut a deal to get life instead of firing squad.
1. Dox her and her family
2. File complaints against her law license
3. SWAT sent to her home.
4.Sue her for what ever they can.
5. Run out in front of her car and fake an accident
..... but that's just the Libs MO
Satan?
Yikes that is three attorneys.
Did they drag Epstein’s corpse to one? I must have missed it.
I thought he denied it.
It’s like the old Mad Libs. Fill in the dorkiest thing to get a rise. It wasn’t supposed to be true.
I think it’s longstanding law that only living people go on trial. In the Middle Ages, or at certain points in history, they did punish dead people.
That’s just what I want between me and a firing squad
I hope her contract doesn’t include a meal allowance
“So, he gets a lawyer and a jury’’.
Yes he does.
Sentence first. Verdict afterwards.
Post of the night.
Stomach aches must be pure hell.
