What are the legal arguments surrounding Tyler Robinson’s murder trial?
They want the debt penalty off the table. I'm Lisa LaSara, Fox News. The lawyers for Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, said the prosecution has not proven anyone else was at risk when Kirk was shot to death at a Turning Point USA event at Utah College last September.
Shooters say the charge was warranted because Robinson put other lives at risk. Despite compelling video, DNA and ballistics evidence presented at last month's preliminary hearing, the defense says there was nothing to show Robinson intended to kill anyone else. In a new filing saying, quote, the state has failed to establish probable cause that the shooter knowingly created a great risk of death to another other than Charlie Kirk and himself. The state is required to show more than a possibility that someone else may be killed by defendant's conduct, rather that there was a high probability of that result and that the defendant knew of that high probability.
Fox's Claudia Cowan, the defense.

A
