Tyler Robinson To Stand Trial and Face Death Penalty, Stabbing of New Mother in NYC: AM Update 9/2

A Utah judge found enough evidence for all seven charges to go to trial, meaning the death penalty remains on the table.

Robinson created a great risk of death to someone else by firing a high-powered rifle toward Kirk from roughly 400 feet away with thousands of people gathered around him.
