Doug Terry
Doug Terry is a Utah attorney whose name appears in the record of the criminal case arising from the September 10, 2025 shooting at Utah Valley University. According to court materials, the accused, Tyler Robinson, named an attorney by this name when invoking his right to counsel.
Connection to the Charlie Kirk Case
According to a defense motion reproduced in this site's timeline materials, during the Miranda encounter (recorded at roughly 6:26 PM, September 11, 2025), Robinson stated:
"Uh, I would like to speak with my, uh, legal counsel. I'm hoping for a fellow in Utah named Doug Terry."
This is a statement attributed to the defendant, not an assertion by prosecutors. Being named by an arrestee as requested counsel does not, by itself, establish any prior attorney-client relationship or any connection to the underlying events.
Background
Public information identifies the name as belonging to a Utah attorney. Further biographical detail is omitted where it cannot be reliably confirmed, and it is not established that the individual Robinson referred to ultimately represented him.
Open Questions
- Did the attorney Robinson named ultimately enter an appearance in the case?
- Was there any pre-existing relationship, or was the request simply a name Robinson recalled?
