Tyler Robinson, the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s murder, made his first court appearance today via Zoom after allegedly shooting and killing the conservative activist in Utah last week.
The 22-year-old appeared disheveled and expressionless as the judge read out the charges against him. He wore a suicide vest and spoke only to confirm his details during the hearing.
Prosecutors filed capital murder charges against Robinson for the heinous murder of Charlie Kirk on Tuesday afternoon.
Tyler Robinson appears at court hearing
Tyler Robinson has appeared virtually at a court hearing in Utah Tuesday evening, when he answered to the charges against him.
Prosecutors also noted they have filed a protective order preventing Robinson from approaching Erika Kirk, Charlie's wife, and said they are seeking the death penalty.
The suspect was seen repeatedly looking down, as he sat at the county jail wearing a green jumpsuit.
He spoke only once, to confirm his identity and sat stoically as the judge read the seven counts he faces - including the capital murder charge that could see him executed by firing squad.
