The accused murderer of Charlie Kirk appeared in Utah court today.

Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old man accused of killing Charlie Kirk made his first in-person court appearance, as he was allowed to wear civilian clothing permitted by Utah Judge Tony Graf.

In addition to hearing pre-trial motions, the judge granted the state’s motion to amend the gag order to further define the term “witness.” {Via ABC} Prosecutors argued the term was vague and overly broad, given there are potentially more than 3,000 witnesses to the campus shooting. The judge ruled that “witness” under the order applies to those who are part of the prosecution and defense teams, including people who will likely be called to testify at a hearing or trial.

As previously noted by FBI Director Kash Patel, the Utah state police are leading the investigation into Tyler Robinson and his assassination of Charlie Kirk.  The role of the FBI is “supportive” in responding to requests from state police and prosecutors.

Robinson has been charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, obstruction of justice, two counts of witness tampering and commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child.
