Description:

The man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah campus in September has made his first in-person court appearance, as a judge deliberated on the extent of media access to the high-profile case.

Attorneys for Tyler Robinson, 22, and the Utah County Sheriff's Office had asked the judge to ban cameras in court out of concern that news coverage could prejudice a fair trial.

Kirk's widow and a coalition of national and local news organisations pushed for transparency and a judge agreed on Thursday to allow cameras in court.

The defendant faces several charges, including aggravated murder, and could face the death penalty if convicted. He has not yet entered a plea.
