(PROVO, UTAH- AP) The weeklong preliminary hearing for the man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk enters its second day on Tuesday. Prosecutors aim to show that they have enough evidence against Tyler Robinson to proceed to a trial. After the hearing concludes, state District Judge Tony Graf must determine if the case should proceed, which experts say is likely.
Prosecutors were expected to present a recorded statement from Robinson’s roommate and more videos from law enforcement on Tuesday.
Robinson, 23, is charged with aggravated murder in Kirk’s Sept. 10 assassination on the Utah Valley University campus, for which prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. Robinson’s attorneys have not commented on his guilt or innocence.
