DNA evidence from Charlie Kirk assassination disputed by defendant's lawyers
Defense lawyers say DNA testing cannot reliably tie Tyler Robinson to the suspected murder weapon as prosecutors seek to move the case to trial.
- On Tuesday, Utah prosecutors continued presenting evidence in the five-day preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson, accused of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Provo.
- Utah State Bureau of Investigation Agent David Hull testified that surveillance footage shows Robinson visiting Utah Valley University campus four times on September 10, including fleeing after the shooting.
- FBI analyst Amanda Bakker testified about DNA recovered from a screwdriver and towel wrapping the suspected murder weapon; defense lawyers challenged the testing's reliability and margin of error.
- Robinson targeted Kirk due to his political views, prosecutors allege, citing a text where he claimed he "had enough of his hatred," though the defense disputes political hostility.
- The state seeks the death penalty, arguing the shooting endangered others, as the hearing determines whether sufficient evidence exists to proceed to trial on aggravated murder charges.
