Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old, is facing seven serious charges in Utah state court following the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah Valley University event.
The charges against Robinson, which include aggravated murder and obstruction of justice, were read aloud in court on Tuesday. The prosecution argues that Robinson's alleged political motives and the presence of children during the attack could lead to harsher penalties.
Robinson's family has chosen not to comment on the case, and the court has appointed a defense attorney. The charges paint a grim picture, detailing Robinson's alleged actions, including hiding evidence and instructing a witness to remain silent.
