Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating conservative influencer Charlie Kirk earlier this month, appeared virtually in court on Sept. 29 for a largely procedural hearing during which the judge said he may attend the next hearing in person.

Robinson, 22, has been charged with aggravated murder, two counts of obstruction of justice, a felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, two counts of witness tampering, and commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child. The murder charge carries the death penalty, prosecutors have said.
