Court hears evidence against Charlie Kirk murder suspect as prosecution argues for trial
Prosecutors presented DNA, text messages, and surveillance footage at preliminary hearings for Tyler Robinson, accused of killing prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
- Prosecutors argued the evidence against Robinson is "overwhelming" and "devastating," including DNA on a rifle, text confessions, and surveillance video of his movements.
- Robinson's former roommate testified that Robinson confessed in text messages, writing "I had enough of his hatred" and apologizing, according to the prosecution's evidence.
- Robinson was arrested on 11 September 2025, one day after Kirk was fatally shot while addressing a crowd at Utah Valley University on 10 September 2025.
- The judge set the next hearing date for 1 September 2026, with both sides to submit written briefs before determining whether the case proceeds to trial.
