Overview
- Judge Tony Graf approved civilian attire for Tyler Robinson’s pretrial appearances but required least-restrictive restraints based on safety risks.
- Media are prohibited from photographing or filming any restraints or recording Robinson entering or exiting the courtroom, with broader camera limits left for later briefing.
- A previously scheduled Oct. 30 hearing was vacated, and in-person hearings are now set for Jan. 16 and Jan. 30, 2026.
- The ruling followed sealed prosecution filings and a closed Oct. 24 session addressing attire, restraints and courtroom security.
- Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty and point to surveillance footage, DNA and message evidence they say tie Robinson to the Sept. 10 Utah Valley University shooting.
