Remember me
Charlie Kirk's parents and widow Erika are set to appear in Utah court this week as prosecutors lay out distressing new evidence against the conservative activist's alleged killer.
The five-day preliminary hearing beginning today will be the first time members of Kirk's family are in the courtroom with accused assassin Tyler Robinson.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against the 23-year-old and will argue that he should stand trial for murder.
Robinson, 23, is charged with aggravated murder in the September 10 assassination of Kirk, who was shot dead while addressing a crowd of thousands during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University.
The accused killer turned himself in after the shooting and prosecutors allege that he also sent a text message confession to his partner.
He has not entered a plea in the case. His attorneys have not commented on his guilt or innocence.
