Car Crash Orem Utah in Orem, Utah: The Utah County Attorney's Office spokesman, Chris Ballard, was found in civil contempt of 4th District Judge Tony Graf's pretrial publicity order for making extra statements to national news programs about the case against Tyler Robinson. Robinson, 23, is accused of shooting and killing political activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University in September. Judge Graf rejected a defense request to remove the death penalty as a sentencing option, ruling that Ballard was permitted under Utah law to correct misleading information about an ATF report regarding bullet evidence. Robinson's preliminary hearing was moved to July 6-10.
