UMVA has learned that a major development in the Charlie Kirk assassination case will shed new light on the events surrounding the tragic incident, as a judge has ruled that new evidence will be made public during next month's hearing.
Judge Tony Graf ruled on Monday that the media is allowed in the courtroom for the July hearing, a move that is expected to bring increased scrutiny to the case. This decision comes as a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Judge Graf has denied efforts by Tyler Robinson, the accused assassin, to have portions of his upcoming preliminary hearing held behind closed doors and to keep some evidence exhibits hidden from public view. The preliminary hearing is a critical step in the process, where prosecutors will attempt to convince the court that they have enough probable cause to bring the case to trial.
The hearing is expected to be a significant milestone in the case, with prosecutors likely to present their arguments and evidence to the court. In a separate motion, Judge Graf has ordered a hearing to consider allegations that prosecutors spoke about the case improperly outside of court, with both sides to present arguments on June 12.
The case against Tyler Robinson is serious, with the accused facing multiple charges, including aggravated murder, felony reckless discharge of a firearm, and obstruction of justice. Robinson allegedly used a Mauser 98 .30-06 rifle to kill Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in this case, underscoring the gravity of the charges against Robinson. Newly released search warrants have revealed damning evidence, including a handwritten note from Robinson to his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, in which he admits to plotting to kill Charlie Kirk.
Investigators have gathered significant physical evidence, including DNA and a palm print on the roof of the Losee Center building, as well as a bullet fragment recovered from Charlie Kirk's body that was identified as a .30 caliber match to the rifle used by Tyler Robinson. This evidence is expected to play a critical role in the upcoming hearing.
The case has raised many questions about the events surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination, and the upcoming hearing is expected to provide new insights into the investigation. As the case continues to unfold, one thing is clear: justice is being sought for the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk's life.
