New Facts: Prosecutors Show Video of Robinson Before Murder

On Wednesday in Provo, Utah, prosecutors resumed the preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson and played surveillance video showing him interacting with Charlie Kirk’s staff shortly before the shooting; investigators also described footage of him moving toward a rooftop area overlooking the venue.

Footage and testimony placed Robinson on Utah Valley University’s campus the day of the killing, where he wore shorts and a T‑shirt, bought Chick‑fil‑A, and spoke with members of Kirk’s group before the event.

Prosecutors said Robinson’s DNA was found on key pieces of evidence, while defense attorneys challenged the reliability and admissibility of that DNA testing as the hearing entered its third day of what has been described as a weeklong proceeding.

CBS News reported that a roommate of Robinson received immunity in exchange for providing recorded statements to investigators, which were used in court; Utah News Dispatch noted the public has had only a limited view of the exhibits shown so far, and KUER reported testimony touched on whether certain statements were religious or political.

The preliminary hearing will determine whether a judge binds Robinson over for trial in the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, with proceedings continuing this week in Provo.
