On Monday, the man charged with killing right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk appeared in court in the US and requested more time to examine the extensive evidence.
This month, Kirk was shot dead on a Utah campus, causing conservatives to express grief and have President Donald Trump threaten to crack down on the “radical left.”
The following day, Tyler Robinson, 22, was detained. If found guilty of aggravated murder, he could receive the death penalty.
Robinson was physically present for the hearing on Monday at the jail in Utah.
The state appointed lawyer Kathryn Nester to defend Robinson last week, and the judge requested more time to review the “voluminous” evidence that the investigation has produced.
According to what I understand from our meeting today, there will be a lot of digital (evidence) coming, she said.

The next hearing, scheduled for October 30 and scheduled for Robinson’s personal appearance, was scheduled by Judge Tony Graf.
We must carry out our duties with integrity, civility, and diligence, he said, regardless of who is watching, whether it is the entire nation or just one person.
The fair and impartial administration of justice is what neither Mr. Robinson nor the Utahn people deserve.
Kirk’s views allegedly led to Robinson shooting him from a rooftop across Utah Valley University’s campus.
They cited text messages exchanges between his roommate, who they described as a “biological male who was transitioning genders.”
The roommate, who was unnamed, inquired to Robinson about Kirk’s death during one exchange.
Robinson is alleged to have written that “I had enough of his hatred.” Some hate cannot be negotiated out, he says.
Kirk, a father of two, used his audiences on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to bolster conservative viewpoints, including the transgender rights movement’s staunch opposition.
A number of people have lost their jobs following the murder after conservatives criticised what people posted or said about Kirk in public.
