Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old man accused of murdering Conservative activist Charlie Kirk in September, made his first in-person court appearance in Utah on Thursday.

Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old man accused of murdering Conservative activist Charlie Kirk in September, made his first in-person court appearance in Utah on Thursday.

After handing himself into authorities on Sept. 11, the day after Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University, Robinson was charged with seven offenses including aggravated murder, felony use of a firearm and commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child, as well as two offenses of obstruction of justice and two offenses of witness tampering.

However, Robinson has yet to enter a plea and previous proceedings, which he attended remotely, focused on issues of his courtroom attire, courtroom security and whether film crews were to be granted access.

On Thursday, after Robinson's lawyers successfully petitioned the court to allow him to attend hearings in civilian clothes, as well as prohibiting media from taking images or video of him in shackles, proceedings continued to focus on issues of media access.

Both Robinson's attorneys and the Utah County Sheriff's Office advocated for cameras to be banned, arguing they could prejudice a fair trail, while Kirk's widow Erika — designated as a victim representative by the court — pushed for the hearings to remain as transparent as possible.

The judge said that matter would be decided on Dec. 29 while Robinson is next set to appear in court on Jan. 16, 2026. He is being held without bail and prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty if he is convicted on the charge of aggravated murder.

This case has attracted an extraordinary amount of media attention and if it is not regulated in the proper manner, there's a high risk it could prejudice Robinson's right to a fair trail. If this were to happen, it could lead to a mistrail or an acquittal so it is imperative the judge gets this right.

Too many hearings in this case have already taken place behind closed doors. But all this does is fan the flames of conspiracies and undermine the public's trust in the legal system. While the judge is right to protect Robinson's presumption of innocence, the court must not overstep the mark to undermine the principles of transparency and open justice.
