Afton Miller, a junior at the UVU, who said she was 5 to 10 feet from Kirk when he was shot, said Robinson to the death penalty “hurts a little”.

“I’m a life,” said Miller. “I think someone deserves it, but in such moments it is very difficult that his family will also lose her son. It is just as painful to lose someone.”
