Overview
- Defense lawyers filed a 21-page motion on Oct. 10 asking Judge Tony Graf to permit civilian clothing and no restraints at Robinson’s court appearances.
- The motion also seeks a closed, in-camera hearing on courtroom security and cites Utah precedent supporting a defendant’s right to wear street clothes.
- Attorneys point to pervasive media attention and reference the Bryan Kohberger case to argue that images of shackles or jail garb would bias prospective jurors.
- Robinson remains held without bond at the Utah County Jail under heightened supervision after an earlier virtual appearance in a suicide-prevention smock; his next hearing is set for Oct. 30.
- He is charged with aggravated murder and related counts in the Sept. 10 Utah Valley University shooting and faces a potential death sentence, with police alleging DNA on a recovered rifle and incriminating messages.
