Judge Recoils as Charlie Kirk Shooting Footage Is Shown in Utah Preliminary Hearing

In Provo, Utah, Tyler Robinson faced a weeklong preliminary hearing for the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Prosecutors showed videos and audio of the shooting; Judge Tony Graf flinched during one clip while Kirk’s family watched. Witnesses described the shooting’s surroundings and autopsy ruled the death a gunshot homicide. The defense objected to some video evidence, delaying other material, as prosecutors plan further testimony and potentially a death-penalty case if convicted.
