Charlie Kirk murder suspect pleads not guilty

# The man accused of killing US conservative activist Charlie Kirk has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and six other charges. A Utah judge has ruled that prosecutors can pursue a death-penalty trial if Tyler Robinson is convicted. Prosecutors presented evidence they say links the 23-year-old to the shooting at a university event last September. Defence lawyers argued the case does not meet the legal threshold for capital punishment. Robinson’s trial date has not yet been set.
