Tyler Robinson to Face Murder Trial | San Antonio News

Prosecutors are preparing to make their case against 23-year-old Tyler Robinson, accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a speech at Utah Valley University — a crime that could lead to the death penalty. Robinson turned himself in, allegedly confessing via text and note, and evidence including DNA, video footage, and witness testimony is expected to be overwhelming. This pivotal preliminary hearing, livestreamed and open to the public, marks the first time Kirk’s family will face Robinson in court — with Erika Kirk and his parents expected to attend. Legal experts call the prosecution’s case a “slam dunk,” and former President Trump has publicly called for the death penalty. The judge will decide if there’s enough to move forward with trial.
