Online courtroom footage captured the moment Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson showed a flash of emotion as prosecutors officially filed to seek the death penalty.
Robinson, 22, looked at the floor and appeared dazed as he sat in court virtually from the Utah County Jail in Spanish Fork, Utah, on Tuesday.
'Is there any other business that we need to address today, counsel?' the judge asked.
The prosecutor responded: 'Just for the court's information, we did file just recently in the last few minutes the notice of intent to seek the death penalty.'
They added that the motion was filed by Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray, and notofied the judge that the document 'should now be on the court's file.'
A clip of Robinson reacting to the news that he could be put to death if convicted of Kirk's murder swept social media and received millions of views.
Many X users remarked on Robinson's distant demeanor, with one commenting: 'His soul has already left the building. Totally empty inside.'
Another said they could see Robinson take a 'big gulp' as he faced the music, and another said: 'No remorse, no regret, no emotions.'
At Robinson's first court hearing on Tuesday, prosecutors filed a protective order preventing him from contacting or attempting to harass Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's wife.
He spoke only once, to confirm his identity and sat stoically as the judge read the seven counts he faces - including the capital murder charge that could see him executed by firing squad.

And do it without even a hint of the irony. They are devoid of self-awareness.
20 years from now they’ll be doing stories on this guy about his life in prison, his thoughts etc....
Spit*
Probably thought they’d throw him a party or a parade.
In other words, the furry tranny loving queer is a tad bit short sighted.
I have to go back and track down the dopey Freeper who insisted that the perp’s brother had negotiated his surrender with the police on the condition that the death penalty would not be on the table.
The fag thought he was smarter than everyone. He thought wrong.

Utah currently has 4 people on death row. The shortest current time there is 29 years, with the longest currently 37 years. Most of us here will be dead ourselves before we see justice for Charlie and his family.
Ping.
Arrest and facing the death penalty likely never entered it's
peanut brain.
Ridiculous over-reporting and dramatization. He swallowed. People swallow 900-1000 times a day.
Exactly ... unlike a lot of recent pervert related murders, this pervert planned to survive the event. He’s just not as smart or as well supported as he thinks he is.
They are probably already printing the t shirts with his face on them.
That actually sounds like what happened in the Unabomber case.
Remember the Rolling Stone magazine cover story about the Boston Marathon bomber?
Expect something similar with Charlie’s ,assassin.
Tim McVey was pretty quick.
That’s what happens when the feds want it.
Well see how this plays out.
Even if true, that death penalty negotiation means nothing. Heck, cops do it (lie) all the time.
It would be a different story if a DA was involved. But even then a judge could decide to ignore any agreement.
He misses his sweetie is why.
Added to emphasize the idiocy of this man.
