Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, has made a request through his lawyers ahead of a court hearing.
Robinson's lawyers have argued that if the request is not met, it could make it more difficult to have a fair trial.
Robinson was arrested and charged with seven offenses, including aggravated murder and obstruction of justice, after Kirk was shot and killed on September 10 at a Utah Valley University event.
If convicted, Robinson could face capital punishment, with Utah being one of five states that still use a firing squad as a method of execution.
No motive for the killing has been given by officials yet.
