Utah taxpayers could end up shelling out more than a mind-boggling $10 million for Tyler Robinson’s lawyers to defend him in Charlie Kirk’s assassination, according to experts.
The whopping potential cost is possible because of the nature of such a sensational capital-murder case — where the stakes are as high as it gets with a defendant’s life on the line and there are likely years of appeals upon conviction, they said.
Robinson’s stonewalling lawyers “are litigating anything and everything to try to bring the prosecution to the table to offer a life-without-the-possibility-of-parole deal,” said Neama Rahmani, a prominent former prosecutor with no ties to the case, to The Post on Monday.
“So yeah, it it is costing taxpayers,” he said of the drawn-out process, which most recently involved Robinson’s preliminary hearings.
“But what do you expect the defense to do? They’re playing the hand that they’re dealt, right? And it’s not a good hand.”
The 23-year-old lefty alleged murderer is accused of fatally shooting the charismatic conservative Turning Point USA co-founder, a married 31-year-old dad of two, as he was speaking in front of a crowd of thousands at Utah Valley University in Orem in September.
The Utah County Commission approved an initial $1 million in funding last year to pay the salaries of both Robinson’s high-powered lawyers and the prosecutors on the case, Fox News reported.
A county lawmaker then said in February that an additional $1 million would be needed from the state for the lawyers, for a total of at least $2 million, after the county had already paid the defense team $349,000, KUTV reported at the time.

And it's long overdue to stop.
He is only worth a short rope and a tree.
YES
If they are court appointed, they get the court appointed rate. If they are high end volunteers they can go pro bono or the defendant (or family or charitable donors) pays.
Too bad the J6ers didn’t get free highly specialized lawyers.
I thought Candice would be picking up the tab.
Why? Just assign him a public defender if he can’t afford a lawyer.
Without a vigorous defense we have a police state. Costs should be more reasonable but public defenders are necessary.
The state has the financial incentive to reach a plea for a lesser crime.
Assign him to a public defender. If he wants a different attorney, he can raise the money to pay for a “high powered” attorney.
“...Utah County Commission approved an initial $1 million in funding...”
Sounds like the GOPe/Uniparty is hard at work like they usually are, take your money and side with the dems behind the scenes. That fake tranny fag should have met the guillotine by now.
independent labs and experts are expensive and added in.
Insane. Let him pay for his own lawyers.
I’m willing to help. I’ll give him $2,000 for his Charger or Challenger or whatever kind of car he has. I mean, he’s not going to need it.
“””Utah taxpayers could end up shelling out more than a mind-boggling $10 million for Tyler Robinson’s lawyers to defend him in Charlie Kirk’s assassination”””
Utah must give Robinson a death sentence.
If it is going to cost millions to handle the subsequent appeals, then UTAH should start a Go-Fund-Me and millions of Charlie Kirk’s supporters will gladly contribute.
Put the lad in GenPop, throw some commissary money around and see what happens.
I got questions ...
Only left wing loons would get this strong of a defense from the state.
