4月17日（路透社）——周五，犹他州一名法官正在审议泰勒·罗宾逊提出的禁止法庭内现场直播和摄像设备的请求。罗宾逊被控杀害保守派活动家查理·柯克，他辩称直播和摄像侵犯了他获得公平审判的权利。
罗宾逊的律师表示，法庭直播和拍照正在引发耸人听闻且带有偏见的媒体报道，可能会让这起加重谋杀案的潜在陪审员产生偏见。

辩护律师迈克尔·伯特展示了几段视频片段，内容是媒体机构的法律专家根据罗宾逊的肢体语言攻击他的性格，称其肢体语言表现出缺乏同理心和悲伤，其中一人甚至称他为“怪物”。
“负面性格证据是你能拿到的最具偏见的庭审前证据之一，”辩方证人、庭审顾问布莱恩·埃德尔曼说道，“我们没必要把这场审判变成一场马戏团式的真人秀。”
柯克遗孀、检方希望法庭内允许摄像
如果罗宾逊被判定犯下柯克谋杀罪，检方将寻求判处其死刑。
罗宾逊今年23岁，案发时正在学习成为一名电工。他被控从一处屋顶射出一发子弹，击中了正在奥勒姆市犹他谷大学与学生进行辩论的柯克。

柯克的遗孀埃丽卡·柯克、多家媒体机构以及检方都敦促法院允许在庭审过程中进行摄像和拍照。他们表示，对庭审过程进行广播和拍摄是遏制围绕此案的阴谋论和其他虚假信息的最佳方式。
柯克因动员年轻选民帮助唐纳德·特朗普总统赢得2024年大选而广受赞誉。他在数千人面前的舞台上遇刺，是美国日益严重的政治暴力事件中令人震惊的公开一幕。
罗宾逊的律师要求推迟5月中旬的预审听证会，届时检方必须证明存在合理依据，或出示足够证据证明犯罪行为确实发生。
罗宾逊的律师理查德·诺瓦克表示，辩方尚未获取专家证人所需的DNA数据文件。他请求将听证会推迟四个月。
犹他县检察官瑞安·麦克布莱德表示，DNA文件对于证明合理依据并非必要，检方团队掌握其他证据。
地区法院法官托尼·格拉夫表示，他将在晚些时候就该问题作出裁决。

April 17 (Reuters) – A Utah judge on Friday weighed a request from Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk, to ban live broadcasts and cameras from the courtroom on grounds they violated his right to a fair trial.
Robinson’s lawyers said courtroom livestreams and photography were leading to sensational and slanted media coverage that could bias potential jurors in the aggravated murder case.

Defense lawyer Michael Burt showed video clips in which legal experts for media outlets attacked Robinson’s character based on his body language, suggesting it showed a lack of empathy and grief, one calling him “a monster.”
“Negative character evidence is some of the most prejudicial pretrial evidence you can have,” said trial consultant Bryan Edelman, a defense witness. “We don’t need to create a circus-like reality show out of the trial.”
KIRK’S WIDOW, PROSECUTORS WANT CAMERAS IN COURT
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Robinson should he be convicted of Kirk’s September 10 killing.
Robinson, 23, was studying to be an electrician at the time of the shooting. He is accused of firing a single round from a rooftop that struck Kirk as he debated with students at Utah Valley University in Orem.

Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, media organizations and prosecutors have urged the court to allow cameras during court proceedings. They say broadcasting and photographing deliberations is the best way to counteract conspiracy theories and other misinformation surrounding the case.
Kirk was credited with mobilizing young voters who helped President Donald Trump win the 2024 election. His assassination on stage in front of thousands of people was a stunning public display of mounting political violence in the United States.
Robinson’s lawyers asked to delay a mid-May preliminary hearing where prosecutors must establish probable cause, or show sufficient evidence to believe a crime was committed.
Robinson’s attorney Richard Novak said the defense had not received DNA data files it needed for expert witnesses. He requested a four-month delay in the hearing.
Utah County prosecutor Ryan McBride said the DNA files were not necessary to establish probable cause, and the prosecution team had other evidence.
District Court Judge Tony Graff said he would make a ruling on the issue at a later date.
