Resolution criteria

• YES if prosecutors file a formal “Notice of Intent to Seek the Death Penalty” in the case against the person charged with killing Charlie Kirk in Utah state court (Utah Code §76-5-202(3)), or if the U.S. Department of Justice files a federal death-penalty notice under 18 U.S.C. §3593 in a related federal case. Acceptable proof: court docket entry, prosecutor press release, or reporting by major outlets referencing the filing. (law.justia.com)

• NO if no such notice has been filed (including if the statutory deadline passes without notice or the case resolves via a non-capital plea). Charging the defendant with aggravated murder alone, or public statements about “considering” death, do not resolve YES absent an actual filed notice. (law.justia.com)
