Prosecutors to lay out their case against the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk
Prosecutors plan to present DNA, video and witness testimony as they seek to show probable cause and keep the death penalty in play.
- On Monday, a five-day preliminary hearing began in Utah's Fourth District Court for Tyler Robinson, charged with murdering conservative activist Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025.
- Robinson allegedly targeted Kirk at Utah Valley University, leaving a confession note and texting his roommate that he had the 'opportunity to take out' Kirk because he had 'enough of his hatred.'
- Evidence presented will include DNA linking Robinson to the murder weapon, video of the killing, autopsy findings, and witness testimony. Prosecutors argue the shooting endangered others at the campus event, an aggravating circumstance warranting death penalty consideration.
- Erika Kirk, the victim's widow, attends with parents Robert Kirk and Kathryn Kirk throughout the hearing. She previously stated during Kirk's memorial service that she forgives Robinson.
- President Donald Trump has stated he hopes Robinson receives the death penalty. Kirk co-founded Turning Point USA, which galvanized conservative youth support for Trump's second term.
