Tyler Robinson, charged with the murder of Charlie Kirk, appeared remotely in a Utah court hearing on Monday as his defense team requested additional time to review evidence in the case.The 22-year-old accused attended the hearing over a remote feed without video. Although unusual for a defendant to appear remotely without video, the court confirmed that the arrangement was requested by the defense, FOX News reported. During the hearing, Robinson and his newly appointed legal counsel indicated their intention to pursue a preliminary hearing, where a judge will decide whether sufficient evidence exists to move forward with a trial. Lead defense attorney Kathy Nester, along with two newly added lawyers, Michael N. Burt and Richard G. Novak from California, asked the court for more time to determine whether an evidentiary hearing would be necessary. “Until we can kinda get our heads around exactly what we’re dealing with and how much we need to process, it’s going to be difficult for us to give you a reasonable expectation of when we will be ready to do the prelim,” Nester told Judge Tony Graf Jr.The judge fixed the next hearing date on October 30 in an open-to-the-public hearing. Judge Tony Graf, who is overseeing the proceedings, asked Nester if she planned to have Robinson attend in person next month. “Yes, your honor,” she replied. “Thank you.” Robinson faces aggravated murder charges, with prosecutors planning to seek the death penalty. He did not enter a plea during Monday’s hearing. Utah state law allows defendants to waive a preliminary hearing and schedule an arraignment instead, where they can formally enter a plea.
