Former officer describes finding a ‘sniper pad’ on nearby rooftop after Charlie Kirk assassination
A former university officer said the rooftop looked like a sniper pad as prosecutors showed video they say places Tyler Robinson above Charlie Kirk's stage.
- On Monday, a preliminary hearing began in Provo, Utah, where Judge Tony Graf is weighing whether prosecutors have sufficient evidence to bring Tyler Robinson to trial for the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
- Utah State Bureau of Investigation Agent David Hull testified Tuesday, presenting surveillance footage allegedly showing Robinson on campus hours before the attack, including climbing onto a rooftop with a direct line of sight to Kirk's location.
- FBI DNA analyst Amanda Bakker faced questioning Tuesday regarding testing protocols used to link Robinson to evidence, while prosecutors noted DNA matched both the defendant and his roommate, Lance Twiggs.
- Donald Trump Jr. attended the hearing, stating Kirk was "one of my closest friends for over a decade," while defense attorney Kathryn Nester repeatedly objected to evidence presented by prosecutors.
- With the hearing scheduled to conclude Friday, prosecutors plan to present evidence that Robinson targeted Kirk because he "had enough of his hatred," as Judge Graf determines whether the case proceeds to trial.
