The 22-year-old man charged with killing Charlie Kirk appeared in court remotely on Monday. During the hearing, the suspect and his newly appointed legal counsel decided they want a preliminary hearing where the judge will determine if there is enough evidence against him to go forward with a trial.

Prosecutors have charged Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder and plan to seek the death penalty.

The Utah state court system gives people accused of crimes an option to waive their legal right to a preliminary hearing and instead schedule an arraignment where they can enter a plea.

The hearing in Provo was open to the public, just a few miles from the Utah Valley University campus in Orem, where the Sept. 10 shooting happened, launching a day-and-a-half search for the suspect.
