LIVE UPDATES: Investigators take the stand on day 1 of Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing in Charlie Kirk murder trial

Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing is underway this week in Provo, Utah. Robinson faces 10 charges, including aggravated murder, in connection to the death of Charlie Kirk. During a preliminary hearing, a judge will decide if there is sufficient probable cause to go to trial on the charges levied against a defendant.

EastIdahoNews.com is livestreaming the hearing and will post live written updates each day. The most recent updates are at the top of this story. Please excuse typos.

4:44 p.m. Graf reminds Hull not to discuss his testimony with anyone as he will be back on the stand tomorrow. He is excused. Court is in recess until tomorrow at 9 a.m. Join me tonight on “Courtroom Insider” at 7 p.m. MDT on the East Idaho News YouTube channel. I’ll break down everything that happened today in court.

4:40 p.m. Sturgill has no further questions for Hull today and asks Graf if we can break for the day. Sturgill wants to prepare an original version of the video that was not allowed in earlier. Nester is happy to accommodate. Sturgill asks Graf to review the exhibit tonight that he did not admit earlier. Graf says he will wait before the exhibit is before him in the courtroom.

4:37 p.m. Court is back in session. Sturgill says he has a few more questions. He asks Hull if he believes the man in the driver’s license records and on the surveillance video is in the courtroom, and if he could point them out. Nester objects. Strugill says the judge has already ruled, Sturgill just didn’t follow up and ask Hull to identify the defendant. Hull says Robinson is sitting next to Nester and the other co-counsel wearing a dress shirt and tie.

4:18 p.m. Graf says we are going to take a 10 minute break for the attorneys to confer. We will be back at 4:30 p.m.

4:14 p.m. Sturgill asks to approach the bench. Robinson appears to be taking notes at the defense table.

4:11 p.m. We see the video. The first part shows the vehicle pulling up and parking across the street from the home. The next portion shows a person getting out of the car, door closes and the person moves away from car. The other parts of the video show the person approaching the vehicle later and then leaving.

4:06 p.m. The exhibit is a compilation of four Ring videos – one showing the vehicle arriving at the residence, Robinson leaving the vehicle, Robinson returning to the vehicle, and the vehicle driving away. Nester objects to having it admitted. Graf will allow the video in and the video can shown in the courtroom and on the livestream.

4:01 p.m. Sturgill moves to admit an exhibit showing the neighbor authenticating the Ring video. Nester objects. Judge overrules objection and allows the document in. Judge allows publication in the courtroom and on livestream.

3:55 p.m. Sturgill asks Hull if any other video was collected. He says Ring video from neighbors was gathered. The Ring video showed Robinson’s vehicle parking in the neighborhood. The video was collected from the neighbor and showed the person they believed to be Robinson.

3:52 p.m. Graf sustains the objection because it’s unclear who modified the video. Sturgill asks for a moment to confer with his team.

3:40 p.m. Graf will allow in-court identification of Robinson. Sturgill moves to admit an exhibit showing video of Robinson’s whereabouts on campus on Sept. 10. Nester objects. She says the videos have been altered and they are concerned about authen
3:35 p.m. Hull reviewed a lot of video footage, the driver’s license record, and the DMV record of Tyler Robinson. Sturgill asks if the man in those items matches someone in the courtroom. Hull says yes. Sturgill asks him to point out who the person is. Nester objects. Graf asks attorneys to approach the bench.

3:33 p.m. The Challenger was located and Hull was able to establish that Robinson had been on campus four times the day of the shooting – twice before the shooting, the time of the shooting and later in the evening. UVU surveillance video was able to track the shooter and the vehicle.

3:31 p.m. On Sept. 11, investigators received word from Washington County that a person in the area had reached out to law enforcement and wanted to turn themselves in for an incident at UVU, Hull says. It was Tyler Robinson. Robinson’s DMV record was pulled and it was linked to a silver Dodge Challenger. The vehicle was registered to Robinson and his mom.

3:28 p.m. Court is back in session. Sturgill continues questioning. He asks what else Hull did with the investigation. Hull says they worked to identify the shooter. Hundreds of hours of surveillance video was reviewed in an effort to find the shooter. Hull personally reviewed 10-20 hours of video.

3:11 p.m. We are now in recess until 3:25 p.m.

3:07 p.m. Sturgill agrees that there is information that is extremely private and does not want it published, but asks that it be admitted. Graf overrules the objection and admits the autopsy report, but it will not be published to the courtroom or the livestream. Hull says the cause of death is murder and the manner of death is gunshot wound to the neck. Nester objects – says it was not stated as a murder — it was a homicide. Graf sustains it. Hull says he misspoke – it says homicide. Cause of death is gunshot wound to the neck.

3:03 p.m. Sturgill moves to admit the autopsy report. Nester “strenuously” objects and says Hull is not an expert – the report is hearsay and highly technical. She says the report could never be admitted during a trial. Nester also says there are very personal items in the report about Kirk’s medical history and the condition of his body.

2:58 p.m. An autopsy was done late on Sept. 10 and possibly into the morning of Sept. 11, Hull says. Hull met with the man who did the autopsy. Hull has read many autopsy medical examination reports over the years, and the one he reviewed concerning Kirk’s death was pretty standard.

2:56 p.m. Video is over. Sturgill asks Hull what happened to Kirk immediately after he was shot. Hull says he was removed immediately from the scene in a “hasty transport” in a vehicle and taken to the Timpanogos Hospital. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. A medical examiner responded to the scene, who told Hull that Kirk had died.

2:51 p.m. The video is about three minutes. Graf asks if the screens are secure and out of view of the public. They are. The video is played. There is no sound on the video.

2:48 p.m. Hull says the video shows the breezeway under the Hall of Flags facing east. Sturgill moves to admit the video, but says it is graphic and ask that it not be shown in the courtroom or on the livestream. Nester objects to the video being admitted at all. Graf allows it in, but it will only be shown on the judge, prosecution and defense monitors.

2:44 p.m. Sturgill asks to admit the verification statement. Nester objects. Graf allows the statement in. Sturgill asks that it be shown in the courtroom and to the public. Graf allows it.

2:37 p.m. Judge will have the video played on his monitors and the defense and prosecution screens, but nobody else will see it. Video is played. Hull says UVU had camera footage that was also turned over to investigators. Under the Hall of Flags, there is a surveillance camera that captured people coming and going. Hull met with Mr. Olsen, the UVU employee in charge of the camera system, and Olsen completed a statement verifying the videos.

2:34 p.m. The video shows Kirk throwing hats into the crowd and then shows him getting shot, Hull says, adding that it’s graphic. Sturgill moves to admit the exhibit, but does not want it shown in the courtroom or on the livestream. Nester objects to having it admitted.

2:27 p.m. Judge overrules the objection and allows the exhibit in. The courtroom will be able to view the document, and the judge is allowing the media to show it. We see the exhibit showing the TPUSA videographer authenticating that he filmed the footage.

2:20 p.m. The video is played for Graf, the prosecution and defense, but not on the screens in the courtroom. Hull testifies about collecting other video from Turning Point USA. The organization had a photographer at the event and gave video to investigators. State moves to admit a statement from TPUSA authenticating the video. Nester objects.

2:13 p.m. The video is played. We hear audio from the crowd cheering. Hull says other video was collected, including cell phone video from a Mr. Phillips. This video shows the shooting and aftermath. State moves to admit a statement authenticating the video. Nester objects. Graf will admit it into evidence. The state then asks to admit the video, but does not want it published to the courtroom or public due to the graphic nature.

2:10 p.m. “When it is presented in open court as an exhibit for you to rely on, the public is entitled to see it so they can understand your decision-making process,” the media attorney says. Nester responds that she has nothing to add. Prosecution says they don’t believe the defense has a standing based on what they have said about victims. Graf will now allow the exhibit to be shown in the courtroom, but not on the livestream.

2:08 p.m. An attorney for the news media just stood up and says the rule Nester referenced is not about in-court exhibits – it’s about court files. “It is a fundamentally different thing when we are in a public proceeding and the state is presenting an exhibit and the public is being denied it,” the attorney says.

2:07 p.m. Graf watches the video and says there was blurring of faces, but not all faces. He says it is admissible as evidence, but because some of the faces are visible, it won’t be published to monitors in the courtroom or to the media. Graf will watch the video again.

2:03 p.m. Nester says everyone at the rally is a potential victim, and under Utah law, video of victims should not be shown publicly. Sturgill says faces in the video have been blurred out. Graf wants to view the video beforehand and asks that it be shown on his monitor.

2:01 p.m. Hull says the video shows the crowd and the beginning of Kirk’s presentation at UVU. Toward the end of the video, Wright shows herself and the people she is with. Graf asks if there are any acts of alleged violence in the video. Sturgill says there is not. Nester objects to having the video admitted as Wright is not here. She says this could affect Robinson’s right to a fair trial and if it does allow the video in, it should not be filmed by the media.

1:58 p.m. Prosecution believes the exhibits should be shown to the courtroom and the public on the screen. Sturgill asks if Hull has watched Wright’s video. “It’s a view of Ms. Wright’s position in the crowd on September 10,” Hull says. Sturgill moves to admit the video, be published in the courtroom and be shown publicly.

1:54 p.m. The statement authenticating the video is shown on the TV screen in the courtroom. Erika Kirk just stood up and walked out of the courtroom. Nester needs clarification on whether the exhibits can be shown during the hearing. Judge says unless there is an objection on each exhibit, he will allow them to be shown.

1:46 p.m. Graf says there is a lot of private information in the exhibit, including the Social Security number of the woman who took the video. Prosecutor David Sturgill assumed it was redacted and apologizes to Graf. The redacted version is admitted, and after much back and forth, Graf allows the video in.

1:41 p.m. Hull asks about a statement Wright provided about the video. Nester objects and says Wright is not here to speak. She says it is hearsay and would negatively impact Robinson’s right to a fair trial. Nester says the video contained images of minor children, and even though the children may be edited out, Nester objects to it coming out.

1:35 p.m. One video came from a woman named Amber Wright. The video was collected from Wright on Oct. 11. Agent Davis met with Wright later to review the video to make sure it was authentic.

1:32 p.m. Hull describes the different assignments the agents had as part of the investigation. Hull says once the campus was locked down and secure, they were able to start processing the crime scene. He says it became organized chaos. Phone tips and cell phone videos were being sent in. “There was a lot of information people were sharing with us,” Hull says.

1:30 p.m. Hull is asked how his role changed over the course of the investigation. After he arrived on scene, he was informed by his lieutenant that he and Agent Davis would be taking the lead on behalf of the SBI. The SBI would be the lead investigative agency. Hull would be responsible for directing the investigation, coordinating information, processing information, etc. Different agents were assigned different tasks.

1:26 p.m. State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) often responds to big criminal situations. Hull was not familiar with the UVU campus and said he had maybe been there one time before. He became more familiar with the campus by viewing surveillance footage, walking the university and investigating the crime.

1:23 p.m. During September 2025, Hull was working for the State Bureau of Investigation. He worked in different areas, including murder investigations. He has led or been involved in 40 or so murder cases. Hull was working on the day of the shooting at UVU. He was told to get to the campus because Charlie Kirk had been shot. Hull did not know who Kirk was.

1:21 p.m. Next witness is David Hull. He works for the Utah Department of Public Safety and has been there for 12 years.

1:19 p.m. Grunander has one follow-up question. He asks Bagley to approach the screen and point where he observed the holster that was found. Bagley points out on the screen that the holster was found in a middle grassy area. Grunander has nothing further. The witness is excused.

1:17 p.m. Nester goes back to the defense table and speaks with Tyler Robinson. She returns to the podium and asks about the nighttime photos taken of the roof. Bagley had not seen the photos until a few weeks ago. Nester had nothing further.

1:16 p.m. Bagley left the campus around 9 p.m. He went back the next day and worked on and off. Nester asks if he knew who the shooter was at 9 p.m. when he left. He says he did not. Nobody knew the next day either. Nester asks about the drone images taken by the Provo Police Department. Bagley saw them for the first time a few weeks ago.

1:14 p.m. Nester asks if Bagley saw a gun in the surveillance video. He says he saw a long black item. Nester asks if he mentioned anywhere in his report that he saw a gun. He did not – just an object. Bagley says he saw a long object in the form of a gun covered by a towel or blanket or something.

1:11 p.m. Nester asks if he’s aware of another bullet being found on another roof. He is not. Nester asks why his body cam footage ends while Bagley is on the roof. He believes the battery died. She asks if he recharged it or put in another battery that day. He says he didn’t – it was chaotic and he was busy. She asks about the video Bagley viewed at the police department showing the person on the roof – could be identify the person’s face, height, identifying marks? Bagley says no.

1:07 p.m. Bagley was wearing a body camera that was recording the whole time. Nester asks about a man who was with Bagley. He doesn’t know who the man was, but he had a badge and a handgun. The two of them went to the Losee building. Nester asks if anyone else had been on the roof other than the person in the prone position. Nester asks if, while Bagley was on the roof, he found any spent casings. He did not. “I was looking for a spent shell casing, looking all over the place, making sure the gravel wasn’t disturbed, and I couldn’t find a shell casing in that moment,” he says.

1:04 p.m. Nester resumes questioning. She asks if there were any guns confiscated on the scene. Bagley is not aware. Nester asks for clarification on where the holster was found. Bagley talks about going to the tent where Kirk was shot. Kirk had already been removed from the area. Nester asks the perimeter of the crime scene. Bagley says he wanted everyone off the grass in case there were shell casings.

1:02 p.m. Court about to resume following lunch. Donald Trump Jr., who was a close friend of Charlie Kirk, has been in the courtroom with Erika Kirk this morning.

11:55 a.m. Graf says we are going to break for lunch until 1 p.m.

11:53 a.m. Nester asks about drones in the air. Bagley says the Provo Police Department deployed them. Nester asks if UVU had drones. He says they did not. Nester asks about the person who was taken into custody. Bagley says the person was detained in the courtyard area near where Charlie Kirk was speaking. Nester asks if the holster was in the area. It was not.

11:48 a.m. Bagley prepared a report after the shooting, and Nester asks if he used AI to help prepare it. He says he did not. Bagley says he first heard the shot at 12:23 p.m. Nester asks if Bagley ever mentioned in his report that the gunshot came from the east or the right. He says he did not. She tells him to look at the report to be sure. He says he didn’t record a direction. Bagley only heard one shot. Nester asks about the empty holster Bagley found. She asks specifically where he found it. He says it was right before the cement at the top of the grass. It was an empty holster for a pistol.

11:46 a.m. Nester asks if Charlie Kirk had his own security team on campus. Bagley was aware of his security team. Nester asks if outside agencies were helping provide security that day. Bagley never saw any. Other agencies arrived after the shooting to assist. Nester asks if there were any written materials describing the plan for security that day. Bagley did not see any.

11:44 a.m. Nester asks if the officers carry guns. They do. Nester asks if there were any metal detectors were being used on campus that day. No. Nester asks if drones were flying above campus. “Not that I know of,” Bagley says. Nester asks if he was assigned to cover the Losee Center before the shooting. He was not. Nester asks if anyone was. Bagley does not know. Nester asks if any law enforcement was covering the Losee roof, walkway, stairway. Nobody was. Nester asks if students are allowed to have guns on campus. Bagley says it’s an open-carry state, so yes.

11:42 a.m. Nester begins by asking about Bagley checking in at 11 a.m. She asks if he knew in advance about the special event. He did – he signed up for the overtime to work the event. Nester asks if he attended a security briefing or meeting before the event. He says he did not. Nester asks if there was a meeting. Bagley doesn’t know. Nester asks how many UVU officers are employed. There are 15. Six were assigned to cover it. Nester asks if he knew there would be thousands of people there. He says they had an idea.

11:40 a.m. Other officers stood guard at the scene, and Bagley went to the command center to relay information he had learned. Grunander has no further questions. Defense attorney Kathryn Nester will now question Bagley.

11:35 a.m. Grunander presents another photo. It shows a shoe imprint on the grass below the roof of the Losee Center. Bagley could see marks at the top of the building above the shoe print. Bagley put up crime scene tape around the area – wrapped it around trees to the LDS Institute Building and back over to the Losee Center. The video showed the person on the roof jumping down onto the grass and leaving.

11:28 a.m. After noticing the screwdriver and seeing the disturbance in the gravel, it looked like someone had laid down in a prone sniper position. He asked dispatchers to look up surveillance camera footage to see if anyone had been up there during the shooting. Dispatchers said the video showed a man who went to the edge of the building and was able to get a line of sight to Charlie Kirk.

11:22 a.m. Bagley secured the top of the Losee Center after the shooting. He put yellow crime scene tape around the disturbed gravel area. Grunander asks Bagley to point out on the image where he secured the area.

11:15 a.m. Grunander moves to admit a photo showing the same view but at night. It shows the disturbance in the gravel, Bagley says. Grunander admits another photo; Nester objects. Graf allows the image in. Bagley approaches the screen and describes the photo. It shows the disturbance of the gravel and the view from the top. “It looks like a sniper pad. A person who has been laying in the prone position,” Bagley says. Robinson is looking at the screen as Bagley describes the image.

11:09 a.m. The photo of the screwdriver is published. Bagley approaches the screen and points out where it was found on top of the building. Grunander asks to admit a photo showing the roof of the Losee Center. Nester objects. Graf overrules objection, and the photo is admitted in. From the photo, there is a line of sight into the courtyard. Bagley says there was a disturbance area – an impression – in the gravel area of the roof that the photo doesn’t show.

11:07 a.m. Court is back in session. Graf says that if victims choose to leave the courtroom, they can return if they wish – they don’t need to wait for a break. Graf asks attorneys to be clear when they object to the exhibits why they are objecting.

10:43 a.m. Grunander moves to admit a photo of the screwdriver. Nester objects. Graf allows the image in. Court is taking a recess until 11 a.m.

10:41 a.m. Bagley went up the stairway to the top of the Losee building and got on the roof at 12:44 p.m. He noticed an object in the gravel of the roof that looked out of place. The object was a red and black screwdriver. Bagley did not touch it.

10:39 a.m. Bagley saw someone he thought was injured, but the man was having a seizure and said he was OK. Bagley started to help get people out of the crime scene. Bagley saw an empty pistol holder sitting on top of the grass. Things had died down a bit, and Bagley realized the shot he heard was more of a rifle shot, not a pistol shot. He knew, being around firearms, the difference between the shots – handgun is more of a short, pop while a rifle is a longer, louder, “more violent” sound.

10:37 a.m. Bagley heard the gunshot, and Kirk fell to the left. “A lot of people were screaming, standing up and starting to run in all different directions,” Bagley says. Bagley left his post at the south end of the Hall of Flags and tried to run down to the bottle of the stairs. People were lying down on the stairs, and Bagley was jumping over them to get to the bottom. Over the radio, Bagley heard a shooter was in custody. He thought that was kind of fast and figured it must have been a close-range shooter. Bagley then began looking for anyone who was injured.

10:33 a.m. Bagley describes several areas of the neighborhood, and the exhibit is taken down. Grunander asks about the morning of Sept. 10, 2025. Bagley saw Charlie Kirk when he arrived on campus. Kirk pulled up underneath the Hall of Flags. He entered the tent and spoke with people who were asking questions. Bagley heard a gunshot, and everyone started running – “a chaos-type of situation.” There were several thousand people in attendance, Bagley says.

10:28 a.m. The exhibit is next to the witness stand, and Bagley points out the different buildings Grunander asks him about. Robinson looks at Bagley and the map image as the witness describes the area. Bagley is asked about how to enter and exit the parking structure.

10:22 a.m. Grunander moves to admit another exhibit. It’s an aerial view of the campus and the neighborhood northeast of the campus. He asks Bagley to describe the locations of various buildings. Nester objects to having the photo admitted – says there is a standing objection, and there is no indication when the picture was taken. Graf overrules the objection and allows the photo in.

10:19 a.m. Grunander asks about the tent set up in the courtyard on Sept. 10. In this particular image, you can’t see the tent. Grunander asks if there is a clear line of sight from the tent to the Losee Center. There is, Bagley says. The Sorensen Center somewhat obstructs the view of the tent, but on the far side of the Losee Center, you could have a direct line of sight to the tent.

10:13 a.m. Grunander moves to admit a drone photo showing the campus. Bagley describes the layout of the buildings in the image. Nester objects to having the photo admitted. Judge allows the photos in. Grunander asks Bagley to approach the screen and point out certain areas of the campus.

10:09 a.m. There are four stories in the Losee Center building. To get access to the rooftop, there is an outdoor stairway south of the building, Bagley explains. The stairway is open to the public. If someone hops over a railway along the stairway, they could get on the roof. Bagley returns to his seat.

10:06 a.m. Nester objects to the photo being admitted; Graf allows it in. Grunander asks about the roof of one of the buildings and requests that Bagley come off the stand to point out the courtyard in the photo. He leaves the witness stand and points out the Losee Center on the screen.

10:02 a.m. Bagley walked around the Hall of Flags and visited the courtyard down below. Grunander moves to admit a second exhibit. Nester asks if the exhibit cannot be shown on the lectern screen, as it was being picked up on the livestream. Judge grants the request, and the lectern screen is turned off.

10 a.m. As Bagley describes the building, Robinson looks at the monitor in the courtroom. He is dressed in a collared dress shirt and tie. Grunander asks about Sept. 10, 2025. Bagley was working at UVU that day. His shift began at 11 a.m. He was assigned to secure the top of the Hall of Flags on the south end.

9:58 a.m. Graf overrules the objection – says the witness has firsthand knowledge of the campus and the area. The exhibit is admitted. Grunander asks the witness to describe the courtyard and different buildings.

9:56 a.m. The photo shows the Hall of Flags and several other buildings Bagley was asked about minutes ago. Defense attorney Kathryn Nester objects to the photo being admitted. She says the prosecution hasn’t laid a foundation, and the officer can’t authenticate who took the photo. Grunander says the witness doesn’t have to take the photo but can testify to the accuracy of the photo.

9:52 a.m. Grunander asks about several buildings on the campus and Bagley describes their locations. Grunander asks how someone would enter a parking structure. Bagley says you enter on level 1 and there is an exit on level 2. Grunander admits exhibit #1. They are only displayed in the courtroom, not on the court feed. Bagley describes it as a photo of part of the campus.

9:49 a.m. Grunander asks Bagley if he’s familiar with the outdoor amphitheater at the university. He is. It’s a grassy area with a waterfall. Students eat lunch, hang out, study. There is a Hall of Flags directly west of the courtyard. There’s a walkway across the Hall of Flags. There is a nearby Fugal building, a Woodbury building and the Sorensen Center. They all surround the courtyard.

9:46 a.m. Grunander asks about the surveillance camera system at UVU. Bagley describes how he had access to the system. As part of his duties, he would patrol the university and the nearby neighborhoods. They work closely with the Orem Police Department. Bagley was very familiar with the buildings, parking structures and walkways at UVU.

9:45 a.m. Bagley worked for the Utah Valley University Police Department in September when Kirk was shot at the school. He patrolled the campus and investigated crimes. Before UVU, Bagley worked at other law enforcement agencies.

9:43 a.m. Bagley is sworn in. He is a senior officer for the Spanish Fork Police Department. He has worked for the department for five months, but has been a police officer for 26 years. Prosecutor Chad Grunander asks Bagley to describe his training.

9:41 a.m. Court is back in session. Prosecutor Ryan McBride gives brief update on discovery findings. First witness called to the stand – Officer Chris Bagley.

9:27 a.m. Charlie Kirk’s family, including his parents, Robert and Kathryn; his sister, Mary; and widow Erika Kirk, released a statement before today’s hearing:

“Charlie was a beloved husband, son, brother, friend, and father. 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. We remain deeply grateful for the support, prayers, and kindness we have received. This outpouring has sustained us during the darkest days of our lives. Out of respect for the judicial process, we will not be commenting further at this time. We ask for continued privacy as we navigate this process and immense grief.”

9:24 a.m. Judge explains this is a preliminary hearing – a probable cause hearing. Graf calls for a break to get the monitor situated. Court will resume at 9:35 a.m.

9:23 a.m. Prosecutor Chad Grunander says Officer Chris Bagley will be the first witness. Second witness will be Agent David Hull. Third witness will be Agent Bryan Davis. Sgt. Jennifer Fauminer will be the final witness. Apologies if I have misspelled their names. There will be 40-50 exhibits shown.

9:15 a.m. Judge does not want exhibits displayed during the hearing to be shown during the livestream. A monitor will be placed on a wall out of view of the camera operator. Graf says he will be able to see the exhibits, but they will not be shown to the public outside of the courtroom.

9:13 a.m. Court will begin each morning at 9 a.m. except on Wednesday, when court will begin at 1 p.m. There will be a 15-minute recess each morning and afternoon with an hour lunch break at noon.

9:12 a.m. Graf reminds attendees of courtroom decorum order. He asks attorneys on both sides to act professionally, with civility and remain mindful of the constitutional rights of all parties.

9:10 a.m. Robinson faces 10 charges, including aggravated murder, discharge of a firearm causing injury, two counts of obstruction of justice, two counts of witness tampering and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child.

9:08 a.m. There is no still photographer in the courtroom today, but a video photographer from KSL is the pool operator for the hearing. Thanks to KSL for providing the feed for all the media.

9:06 a.m. Judge Tony Graf is on the bench. Prosecutors enter their appearances; Robinson’s attorneys enter their appearance. Tyler Robinson is in court. Judge acknowledges Erika Kirk is in the courtroom and wishes her a good morning.
