In the first online court hearing on September 16, suspect Tyler Robinson was connected from the prison. At that time, the suspect let his beard saute and had to wear a suicide watch.
The defendant remained indifferent but showed attention when the judge read the accusations and announced the possibility of the death penalty. Robinson only speaks once when asked to give his name.
Judge Tony Graf said that Robinson is unlikely to hire a lawyer, so the court will appoint an defense attorney before the next trial on September 29. During this time, Robinson was held without a guarantee at the Washington County prison, where he was subject to special supervision.
According to the court's records, immediately after committing the crime, Robinson texted his roommate: "Forget all the work you are doing, look under my keyboard." This person later found a piece of paper saying: I had a chance to defeat Charlie Kirk and I will do it.
When asked "Are you not that person working?" ?", Robinson replied: "As for me, I apologize." He added: "I'm so tired of his hatred. There is something unpredictable and unpredictable about hatred.
Notably, Robinson said he had planned the attack for more than a week and was worried about the rifle which belonged to his grandfather left in the bushes after the shooting. The DNA test results on the gunmatch matched the Robinson, the prosecutor said.
The Utah District Attorney's Office, headed by Jeffrey Gray, has prosecuted Robinson for seven crimes, including serious murder, obstruction of justice by records and witness interference by asking his office-mate to delete messages to charge him with the crime.
Several politicians, including US President Donald Trump, have called for the death penalty in the case.
Speaking at the press conference, Gray said the decision to seek the death penalty was made independently, based only on the evidence and nature and circumstances of the crime.
