IT BEGINS! Court hearing held in case against suspect in assassination of Charlie Kirk
Judge schedules next appearance for October 30, when he said he expects Tyler Robinson to be present
A hearing largely to handle housekeeping duties was held Monday in court in Utah for the suspect charged with the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk.
The suspect, Tyler Robinson, was in attendance only virtually, but the judge scheduled another hearing for October 30 and said he expects Robinson to be present then.
Comments at PJMedia explained the hearing in Provo, Utah was “largely uneventful.”
“Utah County Chief Deputy Attorney Chad Grunander stated that he is still working on speaking to witnesses, given that thousands of people were in the crowd when the murder happened.”
The report noted Robinson’s defenders had the option of waiving a preliminary hearing, but did not do that.
“Lead defense attorney Kathryn Nester said that her team is seeking a preliminary hearing and is hoping to check in in 30 to 60 days to ‘let the court know where we’re at,'” the report said.
The judge is Tony Graf of Utah’s Fourth District Court.
Robinson, 22, is charged with aggravated murder and other counts and could face the death penalty in the state if convicted.
