Tyler Robinson in Court for Charlie Kirk Murder; Judge Allows Cameras

  • Tyler Robinson, 22, accused of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk, made his first in-person court appearance.
  • A judge ruled that cameras will be permitted in the courtroom for the high-profile case, despite objections from Robinson's defense.
  • Robinson faces charges including aggravated murder and could face the death penalty; he has not yet entered a plea.
  • The judge postponed a ruling on releasing sealed court session audio/transcript until December 29 and issued a publicity order for lawyers.
  • Robinson, who confessed to the shooting after surrendering, is allowed civilian clothing in court but must be restrained, with no photos of restraints.
