Tyler Robinson Declines to Waive Preliminary Hearing in Charlie Kirk Killing Case

Prosecutors pursuing the death penalty say confessions, surveillance and DNA tie the suspect to a recovered rifle as the capital case moves into evidence review.

Overview

  • Robinson appeared remotely from jail for Monday’s procedural hearing, with his newly appointed capital-qualified defense team formally on the case.
  • Judge Tony Graf set the next court date for Oct. 30 after both sides described the discovery as voluminous and the defense requested more time to review it.
  • Robinson remains held without bail on aggravated murder and related counts, including obstruction of justice, felony discharge of a firearm, witness tampering and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child.
  • Charging documents cite alleged private confessions to his partner, family and friends, a handwritten note, campus surveillance and DNA reported on a Mauser rifle, ammunition and a towel recovered near UVU.
  • Public scrutiny continues, with a former FBI agent critiquing the suspect’s tradecraft and commentator Candace Owens questioning the investigation, while Discord says it found no evidence of planning on its platform.
