Charlie Kirk shooter, Tyler Robinson makes first court appearance (video)

Tyler Robinson, 22, appeared in court today virtually for the first time after being arrested on suspicion of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Sept. 10. 

Robinson made his first appearance via videolink in a Utah County courtroom today, September 16. 

He sat emotionless as Fourth District Court Judge Tony Graf Jr. read the charges against him. 

Robinson spoke only when asked to state his name. He appeared to nod when Graf told him he would remain jailed without bail. 

He has not yet been appointed an attorney. 

His next hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Sept. 29. 

The Utah County Attorney’s Office announced at a news conference today that Robinson is charged with aggravated murd£r and obstruction of justice, among other charges. 

Prosecutors announced they will seek the de@th penalty. 

The Utah judge overseeing Tyler Robinson’s prosecution issued a protective order today for Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk. The order bars Robinson from contacting her and warns of additional charges if he violates the order.
