Prosecutors in Utah began presenting their case on Monday against Tyler Robinson, who is accused of killing Charlie Kirk, during a five-day preliminary hearing. The hearing aims to establish whether enough evidence exists for the case to proceed to a murder trial. Robinson has not yet entered a plea.
The preliminary hearing is scheduled to last five days.
Prosecutors are presenting evidence to support moving the case forward. Defense attorneys are expected to challenge the sufficiency of the prosecution's evidence during the proceedings.
If the court finds probable cause, the case would advance to a full trial. No trial date has been set. A decision on whether the case proceeds is expected after the hearing concludes.
