<p>1 月 16 日（路透社）- 猶他州一名法官週五聽取了保守派活動家查理·柯克（Charlie Kirk）被指控殺手的律師提出的動議，要求因涉嫌利益衝突而解散整個檢方團隊。</p>
<p>地區法院法官託尼·格拉夫（Tony Graf）考慮了取消猶他縣檢察官辦公室對該案起訴資格的動議，理由是該辦公室一名高級律師的 18 歲女兒目擊了柯克在 9 月 10 日的被殺。</p>
<p>柯克的被指控殺手泰勒·羅賓遜（Tyler Robinson）在聽證會上顯得放鬆，時不時微笑，格拉夫禁止法庭攝像師拍攝他與律師交談的特寫鏡頭，擔心會被讀唇。</p>
<p>柯克是美國轉折點（Turning Point USA）的創始人，被認為動員了年輕的保守派選民，幫助唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）贏得 2024 年總統選舉。</p>
<p>辯護律師辯稱，猶他縣檢察官辦公室在柯克去世不到一週後就尋求對羅賓遜判處死刑，顯示出該高級律師及其監督的檢方團隊的 “強烈情緒反應”。</p>
<p>羅賓遜的律師理查德·諾瓦克（Richard Novak）表示，該辦公室應被禁止參與此案，因為沒有采取措施保護檢察官免受該高級律師的利益衝突影響。</p>
<p>“沒有努力將該檢察官隔離開來，這現在給整個辦公室帶來了問題，” 諾瓦克在法庭上説，並引用了該律師的女兒發給他的短信，稱柯克被槍擊，隨後這些信息被分享給檢方團隊的成員。</p>
<p>22 歲的羅賓遜被指控在猶他州奧勒姆的猶他谷大學（Utah Valley University）與學生辯論時，從屋頂開了一槍，擊中了柯克。柯克的死亡突顯了美國在高度兩極化時代日益嚴重的政治暴力。</p>
<p>猶他縣檢察官傑弗裏·格雷（Jeffrey Gray）作證稱，該高級律師的女兒是當時在場的數千人之一。</p>
<p>“她能作證的內容是無可爭議的，” 格雷説，並補充説他沒有看到她父親在起訴中的利益衝突。</p>
<p>在法庭文件中，格雷表示，他尋求死刑的決定是由於謀殺的性質，這使其他人的生命處於危險之中。週五的聽證會大部分時間都在討論辯方請求猶他州檢察長辦公室對其取消資格動議作出回應，而不是猶他縣檢察官辦公室。</p>
<p>此案的下一次聽證會定於 2 月 3 日舉行。</p>
<p>羅賓遜面臨七項刑事指控，包括加重謀殺、因處理證據而妨礙司法和因要求室友刪除有罪證據而干擾證人。</p>

<p>一名猶他州法官正在考慮駁回針對泰勒·羅賓遜的檢控團隊的動議，羅賓遜被指控殺害保守派活動家查理·柯克。辯方認為，由於一名高級檢察官的女兒目擊了謀殺案，存在利益衝突。檢方否認存在任何衝突，聲稱尋求死刑的決定是基於謀殺的性質。下一次聽證會定於 2 月 3 日舉行，羅賓遜面臨多項指控，包括加重謀殺</p>

</div><p>“There was no effort to screen off that prosecutor, and that has now created a problem for the whole office,” Novak told the court, citing text messages the lawyer’s daughter sent him saying Kirk had been shot that were subsequently shared with members of the prosecution team.</p>

</div><p>Robinson, 22, is accused of firing a single round from a rooftop that hit Kirk as he debated students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah during a tour of U.S. colleges. Kirk’s death underscored rising political violence in the United States during a hyper-polarized era.</p>
