Overview

• Robinson is scheduled to appear virtually Monday in Utah’s Fourth District Court for a waiver hearing that will determine whether the case proceeds to a preliminary hearing or moves directly to arraignment.
• He remains jailed without bail on aggravated murder and related charges as prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty and he has not entered a plea.
• Charging documents cite DNA on a recovered rifle and ammunition, a rooftop footprint, surveillance video, a handwritten note and messages in which Robinson allegedly took responsibility.
• Investigators say Robinson turned himself in after his parents recognized him in released images, and veteran capital defender Kathryn Nester has been appointed as his lead counsel.
• The killing continues to reverberate politically as President Trump hails Kirk as a martyr and commentator Candace Owens publicly disputes the official account, while Discord says it found no evidence its platform was used to plan the attack.
