Robinson's next court appearance is set for Sept. 29. Robinson is entitled to a preliminary hearing under Utah law, where the judge will decide if the prosecution has enough evidence for him to stand trial. An arraignment will then follow, and Robinson will enter either a guilty or not guilty plea for all of the charges.
