He appeared at London's Central Criminal Court on Tuesday by video-link from prison, and stayed silent when asked how he intended to plead. Judge Alan Wilkie ordered that not-guilty pleas be entered on Mair's behalf to all charges.

At his first hearing, 53-year-old Mair gave his name as "death to traitors, freedom for Britain."
Cox, a Labour Party legislator, was shot and stabbed to death June 16 in her constituency of Birstall, 200 miles (320 kilometers), north of London.
