Tyler Robinson faces charges for allegedly shooting and killing Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. His legal team is delaying the case through pretrial motions, mirroring strategies used by Bryan Kohberger's defense in a previous murder case to avoid the death penalty.

Bryan Kohberger's defense team has accused former expert witness Brent Turvey of violating a confidentiality agreement by publicly discussing the Idaho murders case. Turvey, a criminologist, criticized the defense's handling of evidence in a book and interviews, prompting the defense to label his actions unethical. Turvey denied leaking confidential information and alleged the defense's office was under investigation for prior leaks.

A new book on the Idaho student murders case reveals previously unseen evidence suggesting the defense could have challenged the admissibility of a critical piece of evidence—a Ka-Bar knife sheath—due to chain of custody concerns. The book, 'Broken Plea,' highlights flaws in the evidence handling process, including duplicate dates and signatures on the evidence bag, which could have undermined the prosecution's case if the trial had proceeded.
