The family said the hearing showed overwhelming evidence and marked an important step toward justice as the case moves toward a judge’s ruling.
- On Friday, the five-day preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson, accused of killing political activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, concluded in Provo.
- Prosecutors presented evidence throughout the week to establish probable cause for the Sept. 10 shooting, while defense attorneys challenged the reliability of DNA testing and forensic evidence.
- Testimony from Robinson's partner Lance Twiggs and surveillance footage provided evidence, including a recording where Robinson told him, "he wishes he hadn't done it" after the shooting.
- The Kirks called the proceedings "unimaginably painful," though they stated the hearing "marks an important step forward in the pursuit of justice for Charlie."
- State District Judge Tony Graf will return on Sept. 1 to read his ruling on whether prosecutors presented sufficient evidence for the case to proceed to trial.
