The charge means Tyler Robinson could face the death penalty if convicted of killing Kirk last week at Utah Valley University in Orem.
Judge Gregory Carro said that although there is no doubt that the killing was not an ordinary street crime, New York law doesn’t consider something terrorism simply because it was motivated by ideology.
The governor noted that Robinson, who is not cooperating with law enforcement, disliked Kirk and may have been “radicalized” online.
