Robinson's side argued against allowing cameras into the courtroom.
Robinson appeared in court last week, seeming awkwardly peaceful. During his time there, he was seen laughing with his attorneys as arguments were made for whether or not to allow cameras inside the courtroom.
The accused killer's team advocated against allowing cameras into the courtroom, as they feel they could aid in tainting the jury.
Erika, Charlie's widow, requested that cameras be allowed in hopes they will, in part, help stop conspiracy theories about Charlie's death.
"We deserve to have cameras in there," she told a news outlet last month. "Why not be transparent?"
If found guilty, Robinson is expected to face the death penalty.
