Tyler Robinson's attorney asked a judge Monday for more time to review the large amount of evidence in the case before deciding if the defense will seek a preliminary hearing.
Robinson has been charged with murdering Charlie Kirk. Prosecutors charged Robinson with aggravated murder and plan to seek the death penalty.
The Associated Press reported that a preliminary hearing would determine if there is enough evidence against Robinson to move forward with a trial. Defendants can waive that step, but Robinson’s new attorney, Kathryn Nester, told the AP her team did not intend to do so.

During a brief hearing on Monday, the defense and prosecution admitted the amount of evidence that prosecutors have is "voluminous." Robinson was not present for the hearing and appeared via audio from jail at his defense team’s request.
Judge Tony Graf set the next hearing for Oct. 30, the AP noted.
According to the Associated Press, the Utah state court system gives individuals accused of crimes the choice to waive their legal right to a preliminary hearing and instead schedule an arraignment where they can enter a plea.

According to the AP, prosecutors have unveiled text messages and DNA evidence they believe links Robinson to the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The AP reported that a note Robinson left for his romantic partner before the shooting said he had the chance to kill one of the country’s leading conservative voices, "and I’m going to take it," Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray told reporters before the first hearing.
Gray also said that Robinson wrote in a text about Kirk to his partner: "I had enough of his hatred," the AP noted.

Who is Tyler Robinson?
The backstory:
Tyler Robinson is 22 years old and from Utah, and authorities said he acted alone.
A relative of Robinson's contacted a family friend, who called law enforcement and reported Robinson "confessed to them or implied" that he was the shooter. Robinson's roommate also spoke with authorities and showed them messages from Robinson on Discord. Those messages discussed a rifle wrapped in a towel, a unique scope on the rifle and engravings on the bullets.
A family member told investigators Robinson had become more political in recent years, and Robinson had mentioned that Charlie Kirk was coming to Utah Valley University.
The family member also said Robinson voiced his dislike of Kirk, saying Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate. The same relative said Robinson drove a gray Dodge Challenger. Police say Robinson arrived on campus in a gray Dodge Challenger.
