"PROVO, Utah -- The 22-year-old man charged with killing Charlie Kirk will have a court hearing Monday where he and his newly appointed legal counsel will decide whether they want a preliminary hearing where the judge will determine if there is enough evidence against him to go forward with a trial. Prosecutors have charged Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder and plan to seek the death penalty."
"A note that Robinson had left for his romantic partner before the shooting said he had the opportunity to kill one of the nation's leading conservative voices, "and I'm going to take it," Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray told reporters before the first hearing. Gray also said that Robinson wrote in a text about Kirk to his partner: "I had enough of his hatred.""
Tyler Robinson, 22, faces aggravated murder charges in the killing of Charlie Kirk and is scheduled for a court hearing to decide whether to proceed with a preliminary hearing or waive it. Prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty and have disclosed text messages and DNA evidence they assert link Robinson to the killing. Robinson surrendered at his hometown sheriff's office with his parents. He left a note for a romantic partner and reportedly wrote that he would kill a leading conservative voice and that he had "enough of his hatred." The hearing is set in Provo, near Utah Valley University, where students remain affected by the Sept. 10 shooting and the ensuing search.
