Overview

• Tyler Robinson appeared remotely on Sept. 29 and, through counsel, said he will seek a preliminary hearing rather than waive it; no plea was entered.
• Judge Tony Graf scheduled the next court date for Oct. 30, with a preliminary hearing to follow after the defense reviews discovery.
• Prosecutors have charged Robinson, 22, with aggravated murder and related counts and say they will pursue the death penalty.
• Charging documents cite DNA on a recovered rifle, surveillance images, and alleged written and digital admissions as the core evidence.
• Public debate continues as some commentators question the case, but authorities have not corroborated those claims and maintain the evidentiary trail.
