Tyler Robinson appeared on video from his Utah prison cell for a virtual hearing before District Judge Tony Graf early Tuesday evening, looking emotionless in a green \u201csuicide smock,\u201d and not speaking except to state his name.<\/p>\n

The suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk stared blankly ahead as the judge read out the seven charges against him, sporting slightly mussed locks, several days\u2019 worth of facial hair, and wearing a vest similar to the one he wore in his released mug shot.<\/p>\n

Judge Graf said the court determined Robinson, 22, was \u201cindigent,\u201d and therefore had been appointed an attorney.<\/p>\n

Robinson nodded slightly several times throughout the 10-minute hearing, including as the judge said he would remain in custody without bail.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Chad Grunander said the state had filed a pre-trial protective order on behalf of Kirk\u2019s widow, Erika Kirk, which Judge Graf accepted. The reason for the request was not immediately known.<\/p>\n

Grunander also stated that the prosecution has filed notice of their intent to seek the death penalty in the case, reiterating what Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray said when Robinson was formally charged hours earlier.<\/p>\n

The judge said a waiver hearing would be held via WebEx on Sept. 29 at 10 a.m. and encouraged Robinson to attend.<\/p>\n
