Defense Moves to Drop Death Penalty | Washington DC News

Tyler Robinson’s legal team is fighting to remove the death penalty as a possible sentence, arguing the prosecution hasn’t proven the necessary aggravating factor — that Robinson knowingly created a high risk of death beyond Kirk, who was the only person shot. With final arguments set for September 1st, defense lawyers stress just one bullet was fired, while prosecutors counter with surveillance footage, DNA evidence, and eyewitnesses placing Robinson at the scene. Robinson remains without a plea as the court weighs next steps.
