Christopher Ballard
Official Prosecutor
Deputy Utah County Attorney / office general counsel. Graf held him in civil contempt 26 Jun 2026 for media comments that the office had ample evidence Robinson murdered Kirk. Death-penalty sanction denied.
Ballard spoke to TMZ, USA Today, PolitiFact, and Fox about the ATF fragment. His PolitiFact line: inconclusive does not mean the rifle did not fire the bullet, only that the fragment lacked marks. Graf: sharing an opinion on guilt went beyond correcting misinformation. Defense asked to take death off the table as a sanction. Graf said no.
