(Dmitri Bolt – Townhall) Tyler Robinson, the assassin of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk, made his first court appearance on Thursday, smiling and laughing as Judge Tony Graf named Erika Kirk as the official victim representative for her slain husband.
Robinson is accused of shooting Charlie Kirk in the neck during an event at Utah Valley University in September. He was permitted to appear in civilian clothing, but Judge Graf denied his lawyer’s motion to have him appear without restraints.
His attorneys also opposed allowing the media into the courtroom, arguing it could create chaos and taint the jury pool.
“We don’t want the chaos that is out in the media in this courtroom,” Robinson’s attorney, Staci Visser, told the court.
