PROVO, Utah (Reuters) -The trade school student suspected of assassinating right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah university was due in court on Tuesday to face formal charges, appearing by video feed from jail for his first public appearance since the shooting.
The killing, captured in graphic video clips that went viral on the internet, sparked denunciations of political violence across the ideological spectrum but also unleashed a wave of partisan blame-casting and concerns that Kirk's murder might beget more bloodshed.
Authorities have offered no possible motive for the killing, though Kirk's wife and other supporters were quick to cast him as a martyr for their cause.
Robinson was scheduled to be arraigned on formal charges on Tuesday afternoon in Utah County Justice Court in Provo, but the defendant will appear for the hearing by a video feed from the county lockup in nearby Spanish Fork, officials said.

They’re not taking any chances...by getting him to the court house. I’m betting he pleads guilty....which will just eliminate a trial.
If you don’t like someone you ignore them you don’t shoot them , they will involve mental issues
“Authorities have offered no possible motive for the killing, though Kirk’s wife and other supporters were quick to cast him as a martyr for their cause “
F’n Reuters via Yahoo. Tough to find a worse source for this info.
If he pleads guilty it is to protect his co- conspirators.
He will be facing a firing squad - hopefully soon.
No doubt for me others were involved. I just heard a note was found that had him remarking. He has an opportunity to take out Charlie. Who uses the word opportunity unless someone provides it for you.
“Authorities have offered no possible motive for the killing”
All of us are stumped as to his motive until the authorities tell us his motive. Got it?
Wow they actually criticize Charlie’s wife and supporters and mock the obvious fact that he was a martyr assassinated while having a public political discussion. Absolutely incredible and disgusting.
Yes. Apparently none of the “news” people can figure out any motive. Shocking, right???
Maybe they will tell us someday. I’m curious why he would do this.
This is the kind of oily thing they do to mislead a great percentage of the public. Somehow we are supposed to believe that Charlie’s wife and supporters are at odds with the official version of his killing. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
So far, his co-conspirators don’t seem to be protecting him.....but he doesn’t have any idea what’s going on except from his attorney....if in fact he is even conversing with him/her.
“I’m betting he pleads guilty...”
-
If the defiant indifferent expression of that mugshot is any indication I strongly suspect he pleads not guilty.
“. . . trade school student . . .”
Is that all we know about him?
No other descriptor?
Reuters making sure that we understand that this was not a college educated person like themselves.
Tired of “motive”....murder is a motive.
“I’m curious why he would do this.”
-
The human brain isn’t fully developed until about age 24, which means this evil was a couple of years short.
My money is on brainwashing and demonic possession.
Me, too. Too bad none of us dumb yokels can figure it out. Our betters (the “authorities”) will tell us what we need to know. Just sit tight.
And the “news” people will never say he did it because Charlie spoke about trannies.
Was it his gun? How’d he get on the roof?
He let his furry boy/girlfriend know the gun was at the drop point right? That’s conspiracy
