US prosecutors will try and convince a judge there's enough evidence to try Charlie Kirk's accused killer for murder and seek the death penalty, when a key hearing kicks off in Utah.
The five-day preliminary hearing starting on Monday will mark the most significant presentation of evidence in the case so far - and the first time that Kirk's parents and widow will be in the courtroom with defendant Tyler Robinson.
Robinson, 23, is charged with aggravated murder in the September 10 assassination of Kirk, a conservative activist and ally of President Donald Trump, at Utah Valley University. Robinson turned himself in a day after the shooting.
Prosecutors allege he confessed in a note left for his roommate, who was also his romantic partner, that read, "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it".
Robinson has not yet entered a plea, and his lawyers have not commented on his guilt or innocence. They have, however, sought to get the death penalty taken off the table, so far unsuccessfully.
The proceeding will resemble a mini-trial, but prosecutors need only demonstrate that there are reasonable grounds to believe Robinson killed Kirk. The standard is lo…
