Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson makes same court request as Luigi Mangione

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson will be allowed to wear civilian clothes in court after he made the same legal request as that of Luigi Mangione, another accused political assassin.

Robinson, 22, who allegedly shot father-of-two Kirk in the neck with a high-powered rifle rounds inscribed with pro-trans messages, asked to be allowed to wear civilian clothes in court — even before his jury trial.

Judge Tony Graf agreed to the request, but denied Robinson’s bid to ditch his shackles in the courtroom, citing the safety of the public and court staff.

Robinson, “shall be dressed as one who is presumed innocent,” Graf ruled Monday.

But the judge stopped short of allowing him to be un-cuffed, instead instructing the media not to photograph his restraints or Robinson walking in and out of the courtroom.

Robinson appeared from jail and was not shown in the brief video hearing. He only spoke once to answer the judge when asked if he could hear him.

“Yes, I can,” Robinson responded, his voice hoarse.

The Utah native’s lawyer argued in an Oct. 9 motion that if he continues to wear jail clothes and shackles during court hearings future jurors could be prejudiced against him.

The lawyer also noted that he was captured during a video hearing wearing a suicide-prevention vest from inside jail which unfairly led to “endless scrutiny and speculation,” the Salt Lake Tribune reported.

Utah prosecutors responded in sealed court papers, co-authored with the Utah County Sheriff’s Office, claiming the filing had “secure information that might endanger personal and public safety if disclosed.”

Accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Mangione previously made a similar bid to be allowed to ditch a bulletproof vest and handcuffs on the grounds it made him unfairly appear to be extraordinarily dangerous.

Prosecutors argued in his case that he shouldn’t be allowed special treatment.

The judge didn’t rule on that but Mangione was in jail clothes and handcuffed at his last hearing. He wasn’t wearing a bullet proof vest at that hearing.

Criminal defendants are usually allowed to appear in civilian clothing during trial so that jurors won’t prejudicially judge their guilt based on jail clothing.

Robinson is charged with fatally gunning down conservative firebrand and Turning Point USA founder Kirk, 31, during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.

Robinson is charged with aggravated murder and related crimes. He hasn’t entered a plea yet in the case.

Robinson could face the death by firing squad if convicted, as Utah is one of five states that allows that capital punishment method.

Trump, who was close friends with Kirk, said he supports that penalty for Robinson.

Robinson is due back in court on Jan. 16.
