Tyler Robinson’s appearance in court was via video from the Utah County Jail, not in person.

Still, Robinson did not show his face during the proceeding. Robinson’s new defense attorney, Kathryn Nester, has requested a preliminary hearing.

In the meantime, social media platforms are swarming with theories of how Charlie Kirk died.

Many assert that Robinson is innocent. Even conservative influencer Candace Owens claims that a source close to the Robinson family has informed her that they believe Robinson is being framed.

Now, Utah County prepares for a high-profile trial expected to cost taxpayers a million dollars.
