Judge to decide if a key hearing for the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk will be public

Prosecutors say they will present forensic evidence and seek the death penalty as the judge keeps the preliminary hearing open.

  • Tyler Robinson, 23, faces aggravated murder charges for the September 10 shooting death of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty if convicted.
  • A judge will decide whether to restrict public access to Robinson's July 6-10 preliminary hearing and whether to seal certain exhibits to avoid influencing the jury pool.
  • Prosecutors plan to present evidence including surveillance footage, forensic reports, witness interviews, autopsy findings, and alleged admission messages from Robinson during the hearing.
  • Investigators found Robinson's DNA on key evidence and a note stating his intent to kill Charlie Kirk; Robinson has not yet entered a plea.
