Authorities allege Robinson, 23, shot Kirk on Sept. 10 while the conservative activist and ally of President Donald Trump was speaking to a crowd of thousands.<\/p>\n<p>Former university police Officer Christopher Bagley testified Monday that he witnessed the shooting then went to the nearby gravel rooftop, where it appeared someone had been lying prone with a clear sightline to Kirk&#8217;s location.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It looks like a sniper pad,&#8221; Bagley told the court.<\/p>\n<h2>Court will hear statement from Tyler Robinson&#8217;s roommate<\/h2>\n<p>Prosecutors also plan to present video from the Washington County Sheriff&#8217;s Office from Sept. 11 \u2014 the day Robinson turned himself in \u2014 and recorded testimony from Robinson&#8217;s roommate.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Graf ruled last month that Robinson&#8217;s former roommate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/charlie-kirk-murder-suspect-ex-roommate-cant-testify\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">did not have to testify in person<\/a> during the preliminary hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors allege Robinson confessed in a note left for his roommate, who was also his romantic partner, that read: &#8220;I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I&#8217;m going to take it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Robinson reportedly texted his roommate that he targeted Kirk because he &#8220;had enough of his hatred,&#8221; prosecutors have said.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors have also said they plan to present DNA evidence linking Robinson to the suspected murder weapon, autopsy findings and witness statements. They contend the shooting endangered others at Kirk&#8217;s campus event \u2014 an aggravating circumstance that could make the crime punishable by death under Utah law.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/07\/2f8fd668-e14a-446f-a37d-a52020132dc7\/thumbnail\/620x413g8\/f491e6739d0b03aca599ce41b1b59a73\/gettyimages-2284397109.jpg#\" alt=\"Preliminary Hearing For Charlie Kirk Shooter Tyler Robinson In Provo, Utah \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/07\/2f8fd668-e14a-446f-a37d-a52020132dc7\/thumbnail\/620x413g8\/f491e6739d0b03aca599ce41b1b59a73\/gettyimages-2284397109.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/07\/2f8fd668-e14a-446f-a37d-a52020132dc7\/thumbnail\/1240x826g8\/4f14550649fad89b3421acb0ce318923\/gettyimages-2284397109.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">A vehicle is parked outside 4th District Court with numerous images of Charlie Kirk during the first day of a weeklong preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, on July 6, 2026 in Provo, Utah.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Francisco Kjolseth\/The Salt Lake Tribune\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Kirk&#8217;s family members attend hearing<\/h2>\n<p>Before his death, Kirk and the organization he co-founded, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/turning-point-usa-feuding-jd-vance-ben-shapiro-tucker-carlson\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Turning Point USA<\/a><\/span>, galvanized the conservative youth vote to help Mr. Trump win a second term.<\/p>\n<p>This week marks the first time Kirk&#8217;s parents, Kathryn and Robert, and widow, Erika, have been in the courtroom since the case began. Robinson&#8217;s parents, Matt and Amber Robinson, also have been present and sat a few rows behind the Kirks on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk&#8217;s family briefly walked out of the courtroom twice on Monday \u2014 when Bagley started testifying about Charlie Kirk&#8217;s arrival on campus and again when prosecutors introduced several graphic videos of Kirk&#8217;s shooting. Each time, they returned.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement before Monday&#8217;s hearing, Kathryn and Robert Kirk said, &#8220;Every court proceeding serves as a painful reminder of his death and the loss that has irrevocably impacted our lives and the lives of his children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Prosecutors have a low bar<\/h2>\n<p>The proceeding resembles a minitrial, but prosecutors need only demonstrate that there are reasonable grounds to believe Robinson killed Kirk and should stand trial. The standard is lower than for a trial, where prosecutors must prove guilt &#8220;beyond a reasonable doubt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Legal experts say that means prosecutors should have little trouble advancing their case.<\/p>\n<p>Defense attorney Kathryn Nester repeatedly objected to evidence introduced by prosecutors. She was mostly overruled by the judge.<\/p>\n<p>When she asked Bagley about finding an empty pistol holster on the ground after the crowd fled, he acknowledged he never took custody of the holster and didn&#8217;t know whether it had been fingerprinted.<\/p>\n<h2>Spectators camped out for hearing<\/h2>\n<p>Utah County residents Denae Branch and Jean Rivera lined up outside the courthouse in Provo around midnight Tuesday and snagged one of the few seats available to the public.<\/p>\n<p>The women said they were in the crowd when Kirk was shot and now think about it every day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It feels like a lot of the world just kept spinning and we&#8217;re still dealing with the trauma of it,&#8221; Branch said. &#8220;Our hearts and minds are still trying to process it and, yeah, it kind of helps being here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rivera on Tuesday wore a shirt that read &#8220;FREEDOM&#8221; &#8212; just as Kirk did on the day he was shot.
