Megyn Kelly is joined by Mark Geragos and Matt Murphy, hosts of "In The Well" on MK True Crime, to discuss the lone black male Lindsay Clancy juror allegedly speaking out now to a YouTube host, the bombshell detail that the juror is a Republican, the completely new narrative about his past arrest and what was happening in the jury room, the wrong assumptions by the left and media about the black male lone holdout in the Clancy case, the truth about black male jurors that Gayle King and others don't understand, how Lindsay Clancy may have a “double jeopardy” chance for dismissal, why Clancy's attorney Kevin Reddington may be in serious trouble, the potential Lindsay Clancy copycat case in Illinois, and more. Then Dave Aronberg, co-host of The MK True Crime Show, and Viva Frei, Rumble creator, to discuss the breaking news that Charlie Kirk's family may sue Utah Valley University, the lack of security precautions taken before the assassination, how the campus did not appear to secure the easy-to-access roof even after they said they would, whether Charlie Kirk's security team should have been more proactive before the assassination, why UVU could be found reckless or worse, the disturbing allegations against former NFL player Kroy Biermann and former Real Housewife Kim Zolciak's son, whether there's more to the story, and more.

Tyler Robinson's case is officially headed to trial after Utah District Judge Tony Graf ruled that prosecutors presented enough evidence to move forward on the aggravated murder charge in the killing of Charlie Kirk. Prosecutors argued that Robinson fired a high-powered rifle from a rooftop more than 400 feet away as Kirk spoke before a crowd of more than 3,000 people at Utah Valley University, creating a risk not only to Kirk but to others nearby. That alleged danger to the surrounding crowd is critical because it supports the aggravating factor prosecutors are relying on to keep the death penalty in play. Robinson pleaded not guilty to all charges after the ruling, while his defense unsuccessfully argued that the state had failed to establish the level of risk necessary to sustain the capital charge. Graf could have sent the case forward on a lesser murder charge, but instead sided with prosecutors and allowed the aggravated murder count to stand.The ruling followed a five-day preliminary hearing in July in which prosecutors laid out what they described as a mountain of evidence against Robinson. That evidence included DNA and a handwritten note prosecutors allege Robinson left for his romantic partner in which he claimed responsibility for killing Kirk. Prosecutors also argued that the trajectory and location of the shot showed Robinson allegedly knew he was firing into a densely packed public event where a missed shot could have killed someone else. Kirk's family called the ruling an important step toward justice, while Robinson showed no visible reaction as the judge announced his decision. With the aggravated murder charge intact and the death penalty still on the table, the case now moves from the preliminary stage into the full trial process, where prosecutors will have to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
A Utah judge is set to decide whether prosecutors have presented enough evidence to send Tyler Robinson to trial for the aggravated murder of Charlie Kirk, a charge that could make Robinson eligible for the death penalty. The decision follows an unusually lengthy preliminary hearing in which prosecutors spent five days laying out what they described as overwhelming evidence tying Robinson to the September 2025 shooting at Utah Valley University. Robinson, who turned himself in the day after the killing, has not yet entered a plea. His attorneys have largely avoided presenting an alternative theory of the shooting and have instead focused on challenging whether the state has enough evidence to support the aggravated murder charge and whether the death penalty should remain on the table. Judge Tony Graf could order Robinson to stand trial on aggravated murder, reduce the case to a lesser murder charge, or dismiss the charges, though prosecutors could potentially refile them.A major issue is whether the shooting endangered people other than Kirk, which is critical to the aggravated murder allegation. Prosecutors argue that numerous people were inside a "zone of danger" when the shot was fired from a rooftop more than 400 feet away, while the defense contends the shooter struck the intended target and did not place others in sufficient danger to justify the enhanced charge. Prosecutors have also pointed to DNA they say connected Robinson to the suspected murder weapon, an engraved cartridge they characterize as politically motivated, alleged writings and messages attributed to Robinson, and statements from his romantic partner, Lance Twiggs. Investigators also say Robinson posted in an online chat room shortly before surrendering that he was responsible for what happened at UVU. The defense has challenged the reliability of some of the DNA evidence and disputes whether prosecutors can establish the political motivation necessary for additional sentencing enhancements, leaving Graf's ruling as the next major turning point in determining whether the case proceeds toward a capital murder trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Judge to decide if Charlie Kirk murder case will go to trial | AP News

Attorneys representing media organizations are pushing back against Tyler Robinson's renewed effort to keep cameras out of the courtroom for the final day of his preliminary hearing on September 1. They argue that Judge Tony Graf has already rejected the defense's broader objections to electronic media coverage and that Robinson has not shown the kind of specific prejudice necessary to overcome the presumption favoring public access. The media response takes particular aim at the defense's concern that hearsay evidence discussed during closing arguments could taint a future jury pool, pointing out that the evidentiary portion of the preliminary hearing was already open to the public and livestreamed in July. Their position is that shutting cameras out now would do little to contain information that is already public and could instead fuel more speculation and distrust about what is happening in the case.The media attorneys are also opposing Robinson's attempt to keep portions of his camera-ban motion private. They argue that court filings are presumptively public and that Robinson cannot take information already circulating publicly, place it in a court filing and then transform it into confidential material. Their blunt formulation was that “what is public is public,” and they characterized the defense's predictions about the consequences of continued public access as generalized and unsupported. At the same time, Graf has imposed separate courtroom controls for the September 1 proceeding, banning cellphones and other electronic devices for most attendees while allowing attorneys and certain legal staff to use them. The dispute therefore sets up a clear confrontation between Robinson's argument that continued broadcasting risks prejudicing his eventual trial and the media's position that transparency, especially after so much of the proceeding has already been public, is itself an important safeguard.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:'What is public is public': Media attorneys argue in Tyler Robinson hearing | KSL.com

Tyler Robinson's defense filed a post-preliminary hearing status report to give Judge Tony Graf a fuller picture of just how enormous and technically complicated discovery has become in the case. The defense says prosecutors have produced 29,237 files across 45 separate discovery batches, up from 19,612 files in March, but stresses that simply receiving the material does not mean it is ready for meaningful review. Robinson's team says every production must be downloaded, checked, reorganized, made searchable, Bates-stamped, indexed, cross-referenced and reviewed for missing or duplicate material. As of August 26, the defense says it had completed the initial intake process for all productions, but only about 23 percent had been fully processed for efficient attorney review and roughly 20 percent had received the more detailed coding and substantive review. The filing also describes major logistical problems, including duplicate filenames, documents that cannot easily be searched, unidentified material, missing attachments and the limitations of the Axon platform used to transmit discovery. The defense emphasizes that these problems are not necessarily accusations of misconduct by prosecutors or investigators, but rather evidence of the sheer scale of a case involving material from roughly 40 law-enforcement and government agencies.The digital evidence is even larger. Robinson's lawyers say they received approximately 12.1 terabytes containing more than 613,000 files, including extractions from six mobile devices, forensic images of computer drives and records obtained from Apple, Google, Discord, AT&T, Verizon and other providers. Those materials contain millions of individual digital artifacts, more than one million Discord communications, at least 25,253 cell-site location records and an additional 170-gigabyte Apple production received in August that had not yet been processed. The defense also received roughly 660 gigabytes of raw FARO 3D crime-scene scanning data that requires specialized software and expert assistance before it can be meaningfully evaluated. Beyond volume, Robinson's lawyers say important forensic discovery disputes remain unresolved because the FBI and ATF have not provided all of the underlying DNA and other forensic material the defense requested. The defense is therefore preparing a motion to compel that material, supported by expert declarations, and plans to ask Judge Graf at the September 1 hearing to establish a briefing schedule. The larger point of the filing is unmistakable: Robinson's team is telling the court that the preliminary hearing may be over, but the defense believes it is still nowhere near the end of reviewing, processing and litigating the evidence that would be necessary to prepare the case for trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Robinson document 123456789------------- | PDF
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

Their position is that shutting cameras out now would do little to contain information that is already public and could instead fuel more speculation and distrust about what is happening in the case.The media attorneys are also opposing Robinson's attempt to keep portions of his camera-ban motion private. They argue that court filings are presumptively public and that Robinson cannot take information already circulating publicly, place it in a court filing and then transform it into confidential material. Their blunt formulation was that “what is public is public,” and they characterized the defense's predictions about the consequences of continued public access as generalized and unsupported. At the same time, Graf has imposed separate courtroom controls for the September 1 proceeding, banning cellphones and other electronic devices for most attendees while allowing attorneys and certain legal staff to use them. The dispute therefore sets up a clear confrontation between Robinson's argument that continued broadcasting risks prejudicing his eventual trial and the media's position that transparency, especially after so much of the proceeding has already been public, is itself an important safeguard.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:'What is public is public': Media attorneys argue in Tyler Robinson hearing | KSL.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Tyler Robinson's defense filed a post-preliminary hearing status report to give Judge Tony Graf a fuller picture of just how enormous and technically complicated discovery has become in the case. The defense says prosecutors have produced 29,237 files across 45 separate discovery batches, up from 19,612 files in March, but stresses that simply receiving the material does not mean it is ready for meaningful review. Robinson's team says every production must be downloaded, checked, reorganized, made searchable, Bates-stamped, indexed, cross-referenced and reviewed for missing or duplicate material. As of August 26, the defense says it had completed the initial intake process for all productions, but only about 23 percent had been fully processed for efficient attorney review and roughly 20 percent had received the more detailed coding and substantive review. The filing also describes major logistical problems, including duplicate filenames, documents that cannot easily be searched, unidentified material, missing attachments and the limitations of the Axon platform used to transmit discovery. The defense emphasizes that these problems are not necessarily accusations of misconduct by prosecutors or investigators, but rather evidence of the sheer scale of a case involving material from roughly 40 law-enforcement and government agencies.The digital evidence is even larger. Robinson's lawyers say they received approximately 12.1 terabytes containing more than 613,000 files, including extractions from six mobile devices, forensic images of computer drives and records obtained from Apple, Google, Discord, AT&T, Verizon and other providers. Those materials contain millions of individual digital artifacts, more than one million Discord communications, at least 25,253 cell-site location records and an additional 170-gigabyte Apple production received in August that had not yet been processed. The defense also received roughly 660 gigabytes of raw FARO 3D crime-scene scanning data that requires specialized software and expert assistance before it can be meaningfully evaluated. Beyond volume, Robinson's lawyers say important forensic discovery disputes remain unresolved because the FBI and ATF have not provided all of the underlying DNA and other forensic material the defense requested. The defense is therefore preparing a motion to compel that material, supported by expert declarations, and plans to ask Judge Graf at the September 1 hearing to establish a briefing schedule. The larger point of the filing is unmistakable: Robinson's team is telling the court that the preliminary hearing may be over, but the defense believes it is still nowhere near the end of reviewing, processing and litigating the evidence that would be necessary to prepare the case for trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Robinson document 123456789------------- | PDFBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

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

Tyler Robinson's defense team is asking Judge Tony Graf to block electronic media coverage of the September 1 hearing, arguing that allowing cameras and livestreaming would create an unnecessary risk to Robinson's right to a fair trial. The lawyers contend that the proceeding will center heavily on evidence presented during the preliminary hearing, much of which came into the record as hearsay under Utah's comparatively permissive probable-cause standard and might never be admissible before a trial jury. Broadcasting attorneys discussing that material, they argue, would effectively preserve and distribute potentially inadmissible accusations to a massive audience long before jury selection begins. The defense also says the extraordinary publicity surrounding the case has already demonstrated how quickly courtroom material can spread online and shape public perceptions, pointing to what it characterizes as real-time evidence of developing bias. Robinson's attorneys maintain that cameras add pressure and distraction for lawyers, witnesses and other courtroom participants, arguing that proceedings should remain focused on evidence and legal argument rather than presentation for a national audience. In one of the filing's sharpest lines, the defense declares that Robinson's prosecution “is not and should not be made into a reality TV show.”The filing also builds on the defense's broader argument that extensive media exposure is making it increasingly difficult to preserve an impartial jury pool in a case that has attracted enormous national attention. Robinson's attorneys say witnesses whose statements were admitted as reliable hearsay during the preliminary-hearing process have already faced harassment from media organizations and interested third parties, which they offer as another example of the consequences of unrestricted exposure. Their concern is particularly acute because the September 1 proceeding is not a trial but an oral argument over whether prosecutors have established enough probable cause to bind Robinson over for trial, meaning the public could hear extensive discussion of evidence without the protections and evidentiary restrictions that would apply before a jury. The defense therefore asks Graf to treat the proceeding as a judicial hearing rather than a media event and to prohibit cameras from broadcasting arguments that could become part of the permanent public narrative even if portions of the underlying evidence are later excluded. The request continues a months-long fight over courtroom access, publicity and the balance between transparency and Robinson's constitutional right to receive a fair trial before an impartial jury.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson's lawyers seek camera ban | Fox News

Tyler Robinson's defense attorneys asked Judge Tony Graf Jr. to ban cameras and livestreaming from the September 1 hearing, arguing that continued electronic coverage risked turning the proceedings into a spectacle rather than a serious criminal case. The defense said widespread broadcasting could prejudice potential jurors by exposing them to arguments and evidence that might never be admissible at trial, particularly hearsay presented during the preliminary-hearing process. They also argued that the presence of cameras could influence how lawyers, witnesses and other participants behave in court and pointed to alleged harassment experienced by witnesses after earlier proceedings were broadcast. Robinson's attorneys framed the request as a fairness issue, insisting that the case should not become a “reality TV show” and that preserving his right to an impartial jury should outweigh the media's interest in televising every stage of the prosecution.The September 1 hearing was set to be an important step in determining whether Robinson would be ordered to stand trial for the killing of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University in September 2025. Judge Graf was expected to hear arguments about the evidence introduced during the July preliminary hearing and decide whether prosecutors had established probable cause to move the case forward. Robinson's lawyers were also challenging the prosecution's use of hearsay and disputing the aggravating factor that could make the case eligible for the death penalty, specifically the allegation that Robinson endangered numerous people by firing into a crowded area. Prosecutors countered that Robinson had demonstrated poor shooting accuracy in practice and therefore created a substantial risk to bystanders, while the defense emphasized that only one shot was fired and that it struck Kirk alone. Robinson had not yet entered a plea, making the upcoming hearing another major battleground over both the evidence against him and how much of the case the public should be allowed to watch in real time.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson's lawyers seek camera ban | Fox News

This could be yet another example of social media freaking out without having all the facts. Plans have now been released for a memorial event at Utah Valley University on the first anniversary of the murder of political influencer Charlie Kirk. But you may remember a few weeks ago -- when the university announced they'd close campus on that day -- social media freaked out because a memorial had not been announced. Claims that UVU was ignoring the tragic events from a year ago spread like wildfire. But now, it looks like those claims were wrong.
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.

The affidavit supporting a search warrant in the case against Tyler Robinson laid out investigators' developing theory that Robinson was the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk during the September 10, 2025 event at Utah Valley University. Investigators described surveillance footage tracking a suspect before and after the shooting, the recovery of a rifle believed to have been used in the attack, and evidence they said connected Robinson to the weapon and the surrounding circumstances. The affidavit also detailed information obtained from Robinson's family and others after authorities released images of the suspected shooter. According to the warrant materials, Robinson allegedly admitted to his father that he was responsible, and his family subsequently became involved in arranging his surrender. Investigators used those statements, the physical evidence and Robinson's movements to establish probable cause to search locations, accounts and devices they believed could contain additional evidence.The affidavit also revealed considerably more about Robinson's alleged communications after the shooting, including messages with his roommate and romantic partner, Lance Twiggs. Robinson allegedly instructed Twiggs to look underneath his keyboard, where investigators later said they recovered a handwritten letter in which Robinson described leaving home “on a mission” and stated that he had the opportunity to kill Kirk and took it. The warrant materials further described messages in which Robinson allegedly discussed the rifle, efforts to retrieve or conceal it, concerns about his family recognizing the weapon, and his eventual decision to surrender. Investigators also sought access to electronic communications and online accounts, including Discord activity, as they attempted to reconstruct Robinson's planning, motive, movements and conversations surrounding the killing. Taken together, the affidavit presented the search requests as part of a much broader effort to preserve digital and physical evidence and determine exactly what Robinson allegedly did before, during and after Kirk's death.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Search Warrant | PDF | Affidavit | Search Warrant

Utah prosecutors pushed back aggressively against Tyler Robinson's attempt to weaken the capital case against him, arguing that the evidence presented at his preliminary hearing was more than enough to send him to trial on every charge. Robinson's attorneys had asked Judge Tony Graf to eliminate the aggravating circumstance that could make him eligible for the death penalty, contending that prosecutors had not established that the shooting of Charlie Kirk created a great risk of death to anyone besides Kirk himself. Prosecutors rejected that argument, saying Robinson allegedly fired a high-powered rifle toward an event attended by thousands of people and that several individuals near Kirk were within the potential zone of danger. The state maintained that the evidence easily cleared the probable-cause threshold and argued that the aggravating factor could ultimately be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.Prosecutors also defended the broader case against Robinson, pointing to evidence they said connected him to the rooftop firing position, the rifle that was later hidden in a wooded area, discarded clothing and messages with his roommate concerning the shooting. They accused the defense of relying on legal precedent that had subsequently been rejected by the Utah Supreme Court without informing the judge of those later rulings, calling the omission a violation of the defense's duty of candor. The state additionally defended the witness-tampering allegation involving Robinson's roommate and argued that evidence supported the accusation that Kirk had been targeted because of his political expression, including an engraved cartridge recovered during the investigation. Judge Graf was expected to rule at a September 1 hearing on whether sufficient probable cause existed to send Robinson to trial, while Robinson had still not entered a plea.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Utah prosecutors push to send Tyler Robinson to trial on all charges | Fox News
