Overview
- Tyler Robinson, 22, appeared remotely with his camera off and did not enter a plea as his new capital-qualified counsel opted against waiving a preliminary hearing.
- Judge Tony Graf scheduled the next hearing for Oct. 30, and the defendant is expected to appear in person.
- Both sides described the discovery as “voluminous,” and lead defense attorney Kathryn Nester said her team needs time to assess the materials.
- Robinson is jailed without bond on seven counts, including aggravated murder, and prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty.
- Prosecutors cite surveillance images, DNA on a recovered rifle, alleged texts and Discord messages, and a handwritten note, and say Robinson surrendered at a sheriff’s office with his parents after the shooting.
