Im Sommer 1997 verschwindet die schwangere Sandra nach einem Vorsorgetermin spurlos. Ihre Eltern drucken Flugblätter, engagieren einen Privatdetektiv und lassen sogar Baustellen aufreißen, doch die 17-Jährige bleibt verschwunden. Aus einem Vermisstenfall wird ein Cold Case. Erst Jahre später traut sich eine Frau, über etwas zu sprechen, das ihr lange auf der Seele gebrannt hat - und sorgt damit dafür, dass zumindest einige der Menschen, die für Sandras Verschwinden verantwortlich sein sollen, zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden. In dieser Folge erzählen wir von familiärem Druck auf eine Schwangere, einer Entscheidung für das Leben und von einem Fall, in dem die Wahrheit irgendwann ans Licht kommt, die Justiz aber trotzdem an ihre Grenzen stößt.

In February 1997, 30-year-old Douglas Gissendaner left a friend's house after working on cars and drove home to the house he shared with his wife, Kelly, in Auburn, Georgia. He never made it back alive. What looked at first like a robbery gone wrong in a remote wooded area of Gwinnett County was anything but random. Douglas was forced at knifepoint into his own car, driven deep into the woods near Harbins Park, ordered to his knees, beaten with a nightstick, and stabbed repeatedly in the neck. His watch and wedding ring were taken to stage a robbery.His body was left for animals to find. The real architect of the crime was not the man who wielded the knife—Gregory Owen, Kelly's lover—but Kelly herself. She had planned the murder for months, rejected divorce as an option because she believed Douglas would “never leave her alone,” and wanted the house and the life insurance money. On the night of the killing she drove Owen to the house, handed him a nightstick and a hunting knife, then went out dancing with friends to create her alibi. She later returned to the scene as the murder was being carried out.Timestamps05:12 A New Family Forms11:28 Army Life Unravels18:41 Doug Goes Missing28:14 Suspects Surface38:14 The Body Is Found50:43 The Murder Plot

Day one of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing on July 6, 2026, largely centered on prosecutors beginning to construct a timeline of Charlie Kirk's killing at Utah Valley University and establishing the authenticity of the surveillance footage and investigative records they intended to use against Robinson. Former UVU police officer Chris Bagley described the moment the gunshot rang out during Kirk's September 10, 2025 event and the chaos that followed, while Utah State Bureau of Investigation agent David Hull walked the court through the enormous video-review effort undertaken after the shooting. Hull testified that investigators examined hundreds of hours of surveillance footage and ultimately tracked a person they believed was Robinson moving around the UVU campus at several different points that day. Prosecutors introduced surveillance recordings from multiple locations as they attempted to connect the person seen approaching the campus, moving toward the area surrounding the Losee Center, and later leaving the area to Robinson. Three separate videos depicting Kirk being shot were admitted, although Judge Tony Graf determined that their graphic nature warranted restricting their display to the attorneys' and judge's monitors rather than broadcasting them throughout the courtroom. Kirk's widow, Erika, and his parents left the courtroom while the videos were reviewed. Prosecutors also introduced Kirk's autopsy report through Hull, which listed his cause of death as a gunshot wound to the neck and the manner of death as homicideThe defense spent much of the first day attacking the manner in which the prosecution was getting its evidence into the record rather than attempting to disprove the entire prosecution theory at that stage. Kathryn Nester and Robinson's attorneys repeatedly raised hearsay, foundation and authentication objections, arguing that investigators were being permitted to introduce reports, statements and records created by other people without those individuals appearing personally to testify. Judge Graf overruled most of those objections, reflecting the substantially lower evidentiary threshold governing a Utah preliminary hearing, whose purpose was only to determine whether probable cause existed to send Robinson to trial rather than whether prosecutors could prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. One significant exception involved an edited compilation of surveillance footage, which Graf declined to admit in that form and required prosecutors to replace with the underlying unedited material. Hull's testimony also revealed the scope of the prosecution's surveillance theory: investigators claimed Robinson had appeared on or around the UVU campus multiple times on September 10 and that they were attempting to stitch those appearances together into a continuous identification of the alleged shooter. By the end of day one, prosecutors had established the killing itself, the medical cause of Kirk's death, the existence and authenticity of substantial video evidence and the beginnings of their effort to identify Robinson as the person captured in that footage. They had not yet presented many of the pieces expected to become more consequential later in the hearing, including the rifle and DNA evidence, Robinson's alleged communications and admissions, and testimony concerning his roommate Lance Twiggs.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
In State v. Bryan C. Kohberger, Case No. CR01-24-31665, Judge Steven Hippler issued a Memorandum Decision and Order addressing multiple defense motions aimed at removing the death penalty as a sentencing option. The defense presented 12 motions challenging various aspects of Idaho's capital punishment framework, including the constitutionality of execution methods and the applicability of certain aggravating factors. After thorough consideration, Judge Hippler denied all motions, affirming that the death penalty remains a viable sentencing option in this case.The court's 55-page decision systematically addressed each defense argument, referencing precedents set by the Idaho Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court that uphold the constitutionality of capital punishment. Judge Hippler concluded that the defense's claims did not warrant the removal of the death penalty, allowing the prosecution to continue seeking it as a potential sentence. This ruling signifies a pivotal moment in the proceedings, underscoring the court's commitment to adhering to established legal standards in capital cases. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:112024-Memorandum-Decision-Order-Death-Penalty-Motions.pdf
This order memorializes the oral rulings made by Judge John C. Judge on April 17, 2025, in the Bryan Kohberger case regarding several motions in limine. The court granted the prosecution's request to preclude defense counsel from mentioning or suggesting that third parties—specifically “other men” or unidentified persons—are responsible for the crimes unless the defense can provide a proper evidentiary foundation outside the presence of the jury. This aims to prevent speculation or unsupported accusations from being introduced at trial. Additionally, the judge ruled that the defense may not use characterizations like “rush to judgment” or claims of a biased investigation unless such arguments are supported by specific, admissible evidence.The court also ruled in favor of the prosecution's request to limit or exclude any irrelevant or inflammatory evidence, including any references to the victims' personal histories, sexual activity, or alleged drug use, unless it directly relates to the defense's theory of the case and passes legal scrutiny. Similarly, the judge limited the introduction of expert opinions unless those experts have been properly disclosed and vetted. These rulings were intended to ensure a fair trial, maintain focus on relevant issues, and reduce the potential for prejudicial arguments that could mislead or confuse the jury.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:041825+Order+Memorializing+Oral+Rulings+on+Motions+in+Limine.pdf
In the lead-up to Bryan Kohberger's trial, some of the most consequential legal fighting centered on the DNA recovered from the knife sheath found beneath Madison Mogen's body and the investigative genetic genealogy, or IGG, process that investigators used to identify Kohberger as a suspect. Authorities had extracted a single-source male DNA profile from the sheath and later sent the sample to Othram, which developed a SNP profile that could be compared against genealogy databases that permitted law-enforcement searches. Investigators used that information to build family trees that eventually pointed toward Kohberger, after which authorities collected trash from his family's Pennsylvania home and obtained DNA that helped connect his family to the sheath sample. Kohberger's defense spent years seeking the underlying IGG records, laboratory materials, family-tree information and details about how Othram and the FBI conducted the genealogy work. That discovery fight produced multiple motions to compel, closed hearings and court-ordered disclosures under seal as the defense argued that it needed the material to examine whether the investigative process had been scientifically reliable and constitutionally permissible.The fight eventually moved from obtaining the evidence to trying to keep it out of court altogether. Kohberger's attorneys argued that law enforcement had violated his constitutional rights by conducting the IGG investigation without a warrant and by later obtaining DNA through a trash pull at his parents' home, contending that evidence developed from those steps and subsequent warrants should be suppressed as fruit of an unlawful search. Judge Steven Hippler rejected that argument in February 2025, ruling that Kohberger had not established a constitutionally protected privacy interest that made the IGG process or abandoned trash unlawful searches and declining to suppress the resulting evidence. The defense then continued attacking the genealogy evidence through motions in limine, arguing that the State should not be permitted to present the IGG process to the jury and raising separate challenges involving terminology such as “touch” or “contact” DNA and the disclosure of expert testimony. The State maintained that IGG had primarily been an investigative lead rather than the evidentiary foundation of its case, while prosecutors intended to rely on the direct comparison between Kohberger's DNA and the profile recovered from the sheath. By the time trial approached, the DNA battle had therefore become two interconnected fights: whether the genetic genealogy that led investigators to Kohberger had been lawfully conducted, and exactly how much of that complicated investigative history the jury would ultimately be allowed to hear.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
In December 2022, the family of Kaylee Goncalves hired Moscow attorney Shanon Gray to represent them as frustration grew over the investigation into the murders of Kaylee, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. At the time, no suspect had been publicly identified, and Steve and Kristi Goncalves had become increasingly outspoken about what they believed was inconsistent communication from investigators. The family had publicly questioned why certain information was being withheld, challenged some of the early statements coming from law enforcement and expressed concern that they were learning important developments through the media instead of directly from authorities. Gray was brought in to serve as the family's legal representative and advocate, helping them communicate with investigators while also protecting their interests as the highly publicized investigation continued.Gray's role became even more significant after Bryan Kohberger was arrested in Pennsylvania on December 30, 2022, and extradited to Idaho to face four counts of first-degree murder and burglary. He accompanied the Goncalves family through the court process and frequently spoke publicly on their behalf, including after Kohberger's first Idaho court appearance, when Gray said the family understood that the criminal justice process was only beginning and that they intended to remain involved for the long haul. He later represented their interests during disputes over the case's gag order and other legal issues, effectively becoming the family's voice as the prosecution moved forward. What had begun as an effort to obtain better communication and greater transparency during the investigation ultimately developed into a long-term attorney-client relationship that continued throughout the prosecution of Kohberger.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Julie Popovich /// Part 1 /// 947 Part 1 of 2 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com The case of Julie Popovich remains a haunting chapter in central Ohio's criminal history. The murder shocked the region and some believe that the case continues to raise difficult questions about justice, public records, and the rights of people who claim they were wrongfully convicted. Julie Popovich was an aspiring young model from Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Her death in 2005 drew widespread attention, not only because of the brutality and sadness surrounding the crime, but also because of the young life that had been cut short. In the years that followed, prosecutors built a case against Adam Saleh, who was accused, tried, and ultimately convicted of Popovich's murder and kidnapping. Using the trial transcripts we present to you a case that is still much talked about in central Ohio still to this day. From behind bars, however, Adam Saleh continues to maintain that he is innocent. Saleh turned to the Ohio Innocence Project, a group based at the University of Cincinnati College of Law that investigates claims of wrongful conviction.

Somebody Knows Something is a true crime series that asks whether the internet's obsession with unsolved cases, Reddit threads, true crime social media, armchair detectives, can actually help crack cases that have gone cold. Kara Chamberlain and executive producer Ari Mark join the show to talk about it. Kara, who hosts the series, brings a deeply personal understanding of violent crime to these stories: she's a kidnapping survivor herself. This episode covers the show's first two cases: the disappearance of baby Sabrina Aisenberg, missing from her crib in Valrico, Florida since November 1997, and the disappearance of 16-year-old LaShaya Stine, last seen in Aurora, Colorado in July 2016. Kara and Ari talk about why they chose these two cases, what they uncovered while making the series, and what it means for families who've been asking people to pay attention for years to finally have a platform that might reach the right person. Somebody Knows Something premieres on Freeform and streams the next day on Hulu and Disney+.

Why can two people walk through the same place and notice completely different warning signs? In this special Profiling Evil episode, we'll draw on lessons from law-enforcement and behavioral-analysis alongside a fascinating peer-reviewed study by Robert A. Chaney, PhD, Alyssa Baer, MPH, and L. Ida Tovar, MPH. The researchers asked 571 college students to examine campus walking environments under changing conditions of lighting and entrapment. Women tended to focus more on bushes, darkness, and areas outside the path, while men tended to focus more directly on the path ahead.Those differences don't tell us that one gender is naturally better at detecting danger, nor does the study measure actual victimization or predict who would avoid an attack. What it gives us is a useful way to think about our environment and the blind spots that increase our chances of being victimized. We'll explore how offenders take advantage of location, situation and circumstances to get the upper hand on their intended victims and we'll talk about how simple choices can lower exposure without surrendering your freedom. This conversation is about prevention, not blame and it's all about giving good people more options and making predatory behavior harder to carry out.#TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #CrimePrevention #PersonalSafety #SituationalAwareness #ProfilingEvil #CriminalBehavior #BehavioralAnalysis #LawEnforcement #CampusSafety #WomensSafety #MensSafety #SafetyTips #CrimeAnalysis #TrueCrimePodcast #GIS #Esri #ArcGIS #BYU========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVILReferral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

Florida wants to take almost $200 million from the federal government earmarked for electric vehicle charging stations and instead waste the money pursuing flying cars. Seriously.Pamela Colloff spent a decade investigating the life and crimes of Paul Skalnik. Skalnik, among other things, was a longtime jailhouse snitch whose phony testimony was relied upon by Pinellas County prosecutors for decades. Colloff shares what she discovered in a new book out this summer, "Catch the Devil: A True Story of Murder, Deception, and Injustice on the Gulf Coast."

In the lead-up to Bryan Kohberger's trial, the court issued an important order governing investigative genetic genealogy, or IGG, material connected to the identification of Kohberger as a suspect. The dispute centered on the genetic genealogy work investigators used after DNA recovered from the knife sheath at the King Road crime scene did not initially identify a suspect through traditional law-enforcement databases. Kohberger's defense sought access to the underlying IGG records, arguing that it needed to examine how investigators moved from the unknown DNA profile to Kohberger and whether the process complied with applicable policies, privacy protections, and constitutional requirements. Prosecutors resisted broad disclosure, maintaining that much of the genealogy information involved private individuals who had nothing to do with the case and that the IGG process had functioned primarily as an investigative lead rather than evidence the state intended to present to the jury.The court ultimately required the state to provide the defense with certain IGG-related materials while placing significant restrictions on their use and disclosure. The judge recognized that Kohberger's attorneys were entitled to investigate the process that had helped focus law enforcement on their client, but also sought to protect the privacy of uninvolved genetic relatives and people whose genealogical information had been examined during the investigation. The order therefore reflected a compromise: the defense gained access to material necessary to evaluate and potentially challenge the genealogy investigation, while sensitive information remained subject to protective measures and limited distribution. The ruling was significant because it gave Kohberger's lawyers an opportunity to scrutinize one of the most consequential investigative steps in the case, even though prosecutors maintained that the eventual direct DNA comparison between Kohberger and the sheath sample, rather than the genealogy search itself, was the evidence they relied upon to connect him to the crime scene.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The judge recognized that Kohberger's attorneys were entitled to investigate the process that had helped focus law enforcement on their client, but also sought to protect the privacy of uninvolved genetic relatives and people whose genealogical information had been examined during the investigation. The order therefore reflected a compromise: the defense gained access to material necessary to evaluate and potentially challenge the genealogy investigation, while sensitive information remained subject to protective measures and limited distribution. The ruling was significant because it gave Kohberger's lawyers an opportunity to scrutinize one of the most consequential investigative steps in the case, even though prosecutors maintained that the eventual direct DNA comparison between Kohberger and the sheath sample, rather than the genealogy search itself, was the evidence they relied upon to connect him to the crime scene.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Judge Steven Hippler denied Bryan Kohberger's motion to strike the death penalty or impose additional procedures on prosecutors over the way discovery had been produced in the case. Kohberger's defense argued that the State had overwhelmed the defense with an enormous and poorly organized volume of material, including more than 68 terabytes of data, roughly 13,000 photographs, 15,000 business surveillance clips, thousands of residential videos and information extracted from dozens of digital devices. The defense characterized the production as a massive “data dump” that was difficult to search and review, arguing that prosecutors had failed to provide adequate indexes, logs or specific identification of potentially exculpatory material. Kohberger's attorneys contended that the situation interfered with their ability to prepare for a capital trial and violated his due-process rights, and they asked Hippler to impose sanctions that included removing the death penalty and requiring prosecutors to provide greater organization and assistance in navigating the discoveryHippler rejected those arguments, finding that the defense had failed to establish either a discovery violation or a constitutional due-process violation by the State. He concluded that prosecutors were required to disclose material evidence favorable to the accused but were not obligated to organize the defense's case for it, create a particular searchable database or specifically identify every potentially favorable item within a massive discovery production. Hippler also rejected the suggestion that prosecutors had deliberately buried relevant evidence among irrelevant material or made access to the discovery unreasonably difficult, noting that much of the material had been provided because the defense itself had requested broad categories of evidence. He therefore found no justification for the extraordinary sanction of eliminating the death penalty and declined to impose the additional organizational requirements requested by Kohberger's attorneys. While denying the motion, Hippler encouraged the defense to seek additional personnel or resources if it believed more help was necessary to review the evidence, leaving the responsibility for managing the discovery ultimately with Kohberger's defense teamto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Forensic psychologist Dr. Kris Mohandie argued that the plea agreement that spared Bryan Kohberger from the death penalty was fundamentally flawed because prosecutors never required him to give a detailed account of how or why he killed Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. Kohberger pleaded guilty in July 2025 and received four consecutive life sentences without parole, plus an additional 10 years, but in July 2026 he filed for post-conviction relief claiming ineffective assistance of counsel, alleging that he had been misled and again asserting his innocence. Mohandie said prosecutors should have forced Kohberger to commit to a complete version of events before accepting the plea, even if they suspected he would lie. Without that confession, Mohandie argued, Kohberger was left with room to later claim that he had been coerced, poorly represented or never truly admitted to the underlying facts of the murders. In his view, the plea deal gave prosecutors finality on paper but failed to extract the kind of detailed admission that could now be used to confront Kohberger's changing claims.Mohandie also criticized the deal for the renewed emotional toll it was placing on the victims' families, arguing that the post-conviction proceedings were forcing them back into a case they had been told was effectively over. He characterized Kohberger's latest legal maneuvering as consistent with what he viewed as a desire to outsmart the system, maintain notoriety and continue controlling the narrative around himself. Mohandie pointed in particular to Kohberger's handwritten petition and his decision to contact a reporter from prison before filing it as evidence that he continued to seek attention even after conviction. He described Kohberger as someone who believed he was smarter and more exceptional than others, while cautioning against treating convicted killers as fascinating or uniquely brilliant figures. The larger criticism was that prosecutors had an opportunity during the plea negotiations to pin Kohberger to a specific account of the murders and failed to do so, leaving an opening for exactly the kind of post-conviction challenge now unfolding.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger's plea deal was a mistake, says renowned forensic psychologist | Fox News

On May 13, 2020, 21-year-old Lillian Payne was spending time with her brother and his girlfriend when they encountered a man at a Flying J truck stop in York County, South Carolina. Lilly had met him once or twice before and knew him as Ray Atkinson. The group decided to continue hanging out, with Lilly riding with Ray while her brother and his girlfriend followed in their own vehicle. Lilly's brother began having trouble with his vehicle and decided to leave. He asked Lilly to come with them, but she chose to stay with Ray. Around 4:00 a.m., her brother and his girlfriend drove away. It was the last time anyone in Lilly's family saw her alive.When Lilly's family reported her missing and provided the name of the man she had last been seen with, they were shocked when investigators told them that Ray Atkinson did not appear to exist. Unwilling to accept that as a dead end, Lilly's family turned to social media, sharing his photograph and asking anyone who recognized him to come forward. Before long, a woman did, providing them with a different name and opening an entirely new line of questions about the man Lilly had last been seen with.More than two months later, Lilly's remains were discovered in neighboring Chester County, South Carolina, and her death was ruled a homicide. Finding Lilly ended the search for where she was, but it began a new search for answers. What happened after her brother drove away that night? Who killed Lilly, and why? And what did the man she knew as Ray Atkinson know about her final hours?If you have any information about the disappearance and murder of Lillian Payne, please contact the Chester County Sheriff's Office at (803) 581-5131.

Twenty-three years after the murders of Laci Peterson and her unborn son, Conner, the case against Scott Peterson is once again under scrutiny.In January 2024, the Los Angeles Innocence Project announced that it was representing Peterson and investigating his claims of actual innocence. Since then, his attorneys have filed new challenges to his conviction, arguing that previously overlooked evidence and new scientific analysis undermine the prosecution's case.In July 2026, A&E aired the two-part documentary Scott Peterson: The New Evidence, produced by the Los Angeles Innocence Project, bringing many of these claims back into the national conversation.In Part One of this two-part series, we'll revisit the case from the beginning and examine the evidence that originally led investigators to focus on Scott Peterson.We review the timeline surrounding Laci's disappearance on Christmas Eve 2002, Scott's secret relationship with Amber Frey, the investigation that followed, and the discovery of Laci and Conner's remains months later near the area where Scott said he had been fishing.We'll also look at the legal history of the case after Scott's conviction, including the California Supreme Court's decision to overturn his death sentence, his resentencing to life without parole, and the more recent efforts by the Los Angeles Innocence Project to reopen the case.Content warningThis episode discusses the murder of a pregnant woman and the death of an unborn child.Sources and further listeningThis episode revisits research originally presented in Episodes 71 and 72 of Once Upon a Crime in 2017, along with subsequent court rulings and the claims presented by the Los Angeles Innocence Project in Scott Peterson: The New Evidence.Links to our original episodes: https://www.truecrimepodcast.com/s2-ep71-the-12-crimes-of-christmas-laci-peterson-part-1/https://www.truecrimepodcast.com/s2-ep72-the-12-crimes-of-christmas-laci-peterson-part-2/Coming nextIn Part 2, Esther and her sister, Yolanda, evaluate the new innocence claims one by one and discuss whether any of them materially change the evidence against Scott Peterson.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty in July 2025 to murdering University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, avoiding the death penalty in exchange for four consecutive life sentences without parole. The agreement ended years of litigation over DNA found on a knife sheath, surveillance footage of a white Hyundai Elantra, cellphone records, witness testimony, genetic genealogy, and other evidence prosecutors said connected him to the King Road residence. During the plea hearing, Kohberger told the court that he understood the charges, was satisfied with his attorneys, was acting voluntarily, and was pleading guilty because he was guilty. The deal spared the victims' families from a lengthy capital trial, but it did not answer the lingering questions about motive, the missing murder weapon, or why the four students were targeted.Kohberger is now seeking post-conviction relief and asking the court to allow him to withdraw those guilty pleas. He claims his former attorneys pressured him into falsely confessing, misled him about death-row and prison conditions, provided ineffective representation, and failed to properly disclose or explain potentially exculpatory evidence. His newly appointed attorney, Greg Rauch, is reviewing those allegations, while Idaho prosecutors are defending the convictions and emphasizing Kohberger's sworn courtroom admissions and the substantial evidence against him. The court has not ruled that his claims are credible, and Kohberger must meet the demanding post-sentencing standard of proving a manifest injustice. Even if he succeeds, he would not be released automatically, because the murder charges could return, the case could proceed to trial, and prosecutors might seek to restore the death penalty.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Day one of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing on July 6, 2026, largely centered on prosecutors beginning to construct a timeline of Charlie Kirk's killing at Utah Valley University and establishing the authenticity of the surveillance footage and investigative records they intended to use against Robinson. Former UVU police officer Chris Bagley described the moment the gunshot rang out during Kirk's September 10, 2025 event and the chaos that followed, while Utah State Bureau of Investigation agent David Hull walked the court through the enormous video-review effort undertaken after the shooting. Hull testified that investigators examined hundreds of hours of surveillance footage and ultimately tracked a person they believed was Robinson moving around the UVU campus at several different points that day. Prosecutors introduced surveillance recordings from multiple locations as they attempted to connect the person seen approaching the campus, moving toward the area surrounding the Losee Center, and later leaving the area to Robinson. Three separate videos depicting Kirk being shot were admitted, although Judge Tony Graf determined that their graphic nature warranted restricting their display to the attorneys' and judge's monitors rather than broadcasting them throughout the courtroom. Kirk's widow, Erika, and his parents left the courtroom while the videos were reviewed. Prosecutors also introduced Kirk's autopsy report through Hull, which listed his cause of death as a gunshot wound to the neck and the manner of death as homicideThe defense spent much of the first day attacking the manner in which the prosecution was getting its evidence into the record rather than attempting to disprove the entire prosecution theory at that stage. Kathryn Nester and Robinson's attorneys repeatedly raised hearsay, foundation and authentication objections, arguing that investigators were being permitted to introduce reports, statements and records created by other people without those individuals appearing personally to testify. Judge Graf overruled most of those objections, reflecting the substantially lower evidentiary threshold governing a Utah preliminary hearing, whose purpose was only to determine whether probable cause existed to send Robinson to trial rather than whether prosecutors could prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. One significant exception involved an edited compilation of surveillance footage, which Graf declined to admit in that form and required prosecutors to replace with the underlying unedited material. Hull's testimony also revealed the scope of the prosecution's surveillance theory: investigators claimed Robinson had appeared on or around the UVU campus multiple times on September 10 and that they were attempting to stitch those appearances together into a continuous identification of the alleged shooter. By the end of day one, prosecutors had established the killing itself, the medical cause of Kirk's death, the existence and authenticity of substantial video evidence and the beginnings of their effort to identify Robinson as the person captured in that footage. They had not yet presented many of the pieces expected to become more consequential later in the hearing, including the rifle and DNA evidence, Robinson's alleged communications and admissions, and testimony concerning his roommate Lance Twiggs.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
