Prosecutors to lay out their case against the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk
Prosecutors will present DNA, witness testimony and alleged texts in a five-day hearing that could send Tyler Robinson to trial for aggravated murder.
- A five-day preliminary hearing begins Monday in Utah for defendant Tyler Robinson, where prosecutors will argue he should stand trial for the aggravated murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and seek the death penalty.
- Following the September 10 shooting at Utah Valley University, authorities claim DNA consistent with Robinson was found on the rifle trigger, cartridge casing, and towel used to wrap the weapon.
- Text messages provided by a roommate reveal Robinson wrote, "Shouldn't be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still," and allegedly left a note claiming he had an opportunity to kill Kirk.
- For the first time, members of Kirk's family will appear in court alongside Robinson, including widow Erika Kirk, who now leads Turning Point USA and previously forgave Robinson during a memorial service.
- University of Utah law professor Paul Cassell described the evidence as "an overwhelming case," while President Trump previously credited the activist with helping him win the under-30 vote and publicly called for the death penalty.
