Tyler Robinson, accused of shooting and killing political activist Charlie Kirk, appeared in person in court for the first time.

Robinson appeared briefly in court on Monday, where he put forward a legal argument similar to the one used by fellow accused political assassin Luigi Mangione.

Tyler Robinson, accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk, will appear in court in civilian clothing with restraints, mid-January.

Lawyers for the 22-year-old alleged killer and state prosecutors met privately before District Judge Tony Graf after a secret Monday motion sought to block the defense’s bid to let Robinson — charged with gunning down conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk — ditch his shackles and prison duds for a suit in court.

A judge will hear arguments on Friday afternoon over the hotly debated issue of whether the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk can wear civilian clothes during future court appearances.

A former assistant U.S. attorney said that Utah prosecutors will try to 'dirty up' Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson in hopes that jurors will return a death sentence.
