Tyler Robinson appeared in a Utah court to face aggravated murder charges in the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk last year.During the proceedings, defense lawyers requested to limit media access, leading Judge Tony Graf to emphasize balancing transparency with constitutional rights and to pause a broadcast segment over displaying Robinson's shackles.Prosecutors have indicated they will seek the death penalty if Robinson is convicted, while Kirk's widow,
Erika Kirk, continued to advocate for full transparency, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for May 2026 and comments from
Donald Trump.
