00:00A Utah judge has agreed to allow Charlie Kirk's accused assassin, Tyler Robinson,

00:04to appear in court in street clothes and not a prison jumpsuit.

00:08I know that probably seems pretty minor, all things considered,

00:12but it was a win for the defense. There is a caveat, however. Robinson will

00:15still be required to wear restraints. Why is this a big deal? Well, it comes down to jury

00:21perception. Could someone sitting in a prison jumpsuit subconsciously make that person look

00:25guilty to 12 men and women? The drama here began last week after a secret motion from the defense

00:31was filed asking for the change. Motions and court documents flew back and forth, with the defense

00:35arguing that photos showing him in the prison's provided uniform and restraints could bias potential

00:41jurors and influence his chances for a fair trial. The legal teams involved in the case also asked to

00:46limit media coverage here, but the judge failed to make a decision on that just yet. Robinson's next

00:52hearing had been scheduled for this Thursday, but that's been pushed back, citing the need by the

00:56legal teams for more time.
