PROVO, Utah — Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of fatally shooting Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk during a campus speech earlier this month, finally has a defense attorney. Kathryn Nester, a former federal public defender with more than 30 years of experience, is spearheading the defense, according to an Utah County spokesperson.[snip] In a news release on Wednesday, officials announced Robinson's attorney was approved by the Utah County Commission.

I wonder who is paying her to defend this losing case.
Soros money?

It's a public defender. So, I guess Mom and Dad are not paying.

There's no question who is paying for this defense attorney. It's Utah County, with additional infusion of needed cash by the State of Utah. They hired a competent criminal defense practitioner because they wouldn't want a loser, cheapo defense attorney to screw up Robinson's defense and grant him multiple future appeal arguments based upon incompetent counsel. No one wants an appeals court to order a new trial after this one's over. It's common in high-profile murder cases for the government to hire better defense attorneys than the public defenders who represent misdemeanants and small-time felons on a contractual basis with local governments. Forty to sixty years ago, the SCOTUS mandated that indigents were entitled to relatively competent defense attorneys hired by the state or appointed by the relevant courts.

I do not want to be cruel but I really think those who murder should be murdered the same way they did it to the victim. When he is found guilty, as he walks back to the cell, someone should do to him what he did to Charlie. I really think people would STOP killing if the same was done to them. I know this sounds awful but why should THEY receive grace when they gave none to their victims.
Same w this Mangione guy. When he is found guilty on the way back to his cell someone should shoot him in the back. Just like he did to the CEO. If criminals knew this would be the result they would stop behaving this way.
I am not being unkind but I want to stop future victims.

Totally agree, #7, I've been saying the same for decades.
My fear is that Charlie Kirk's murderer, looking for mercy, will claim that Erika Kirk's forginess made him find Jesus Christ and we'll end up with 23 years of appeals

Her only hope is the insanity defense. Who could argue with that?

Her job is to prevent him from being sentenced to the death penalty.
His guilt is a foregone conclusion. Look for a plea deal after a battery of psychological tests.

I apologize for being trite, but who would write "an Utah County spokesperson"? I stumbled as I read that. It's "a Utah". There is no "an before all U-words rule.

She doesn't have much to work with.
Maybe she can get the death penalty off the table.

Won't be surprised if some other Lefty anchor waxes rhapsodic about how adorable Robinson and his attorney are together.

#7 & #8, I soooo wish that would work but unfortunately these monsters don't have normal thought-processes. The idea of getting shot in the neck would terrify most of us and cause us to reconsider committing dastardly deeds. But it likely wouldn't even phase a murderer with an extremely distorted perception of reality and no understanding that his actions have consequences.
