The man accused of murdering Charlie Kirk made a virtual appearance in a Utah courtroom for his waiver hearing on Monday, Sept. 29.

Tyler Robinson remained at the Utah County Jail for the proceedings despite Judge Tony Graf signing an order last week requesting that the defendant be transported to the Provo Fourth Judicial District Courthouse and appear in person.

No reason was given for his absence from the courtroom during the hearing.

His three lawyers did appear in court, however, providing a first look at the defense team that he has assembled for his case.

This includes the man who defended Lyle Menendez at his first criminal trial, which ended in a mistrial after the jury was evenly split on the question of his guilt.
