Inside the Utah v. Tyler Robinson Preliminary Hearing
Showing 8 Utah versus Tyler Robinson videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
The preliminary hearing in State of Utah v. Tyler Robinson unfolded over five days and produced most of the concrete evidence made public in Charlie Kirk's murder case. Prosecutors presented surveillance footage placing Robinson on the Utah Valley University campus four separate times, including on the Losee Center rooftop at the exact moment Kirk was shot, alongside DNA testimony linking Robinson and his roommate, Lance Twiggs, to a towel-wrapped rifle and a screwdriver recovered nearby. Twiggs testified that Robinson had confessed to him directly, saying he wished he hadn't done it, while defense attorney Kathy Nester challenged the reliability of the DNA mixture analysis and pressed the point that Robinson had turned himself in before investigators knew his identity. Commentator Liz Wheeler, covering the hearing daily, described the first two days in particular as damning for Robinson while also directly rebutting conspiracy claims that had spread online. By the hearing's close, the Kirk family had formally asked Judge Tony Graf to issue a probable cause ruling before the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's death.
