Judge keeps death penalty in Tyler Robinson case while finding prosecutor in contempt

Judge Tony Graf Jr. ruled Friday that a Utah prosecutor was in civil contempt of a pretrial gag order after making public statements about ballistic evidence to multiple media outlets. Graf declined to remove the death penalty as a possible punishment, finding that striking it would be disproportionate to the misconduct. The defense will be reimbursed for legal costs related to the contempt proceedings.
