Summary
Today is day one of a preliminary hearing expected to last all week for 23-year-old Tyler Robinson. Robinson is facing the death penalty for the September 10th murder of Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed while speaking to a crowd of 3 thousand people at Utah Valley University. Prosecutors will be laying out its evidence against Robinson, which will include a video taped statement from Robinson’s former roommate and romantic partner, to convince a judge there is enough proof to go to trial. The hearing, which will resemble a mini-trial, will be live-streamed and will mark the first time Charlie Kirk’s widow Erica and his parents will be face-to-face with Robinson.

| 0:06.1 | Hey there, folks. It is Monday, July 6th. |
| 0:09.1 | And as we record this, people are starting to file into a courtroom in Utah. |
| 0:16.1 | And in that courtroom will be the widow of Charlie Kirk and the man accused of gunning him down. |
| 0:24.4 | And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. Robe, this is a really significant day |
| 0:30.5 | in a case. Roe to Charlie Kirk killing. We go back to, it really did a lot to change the conversation around politics |

| 0:53.0 | hearing, at least that's how long it's expected to go, |
| 0:56.1 | where the prosecution will be presenting its evidence to a judge who will then decide if there |
| 1:02.1 | is enough to go to trial. It's expected that that will take place, but at issue among many |
| 1:10.4 | is the death penalty. Prosecutors have said they are |
| 1:13.2 | seeking the death penalty against 23-year-old Tyler Robinson, and a judge at the end of this, yes, |

| 1:24.6 | penalty. Yeah, the possibility of a death penalty sentence or life in prison without parole. |
| 1:31.0 | And I guess that's probably the bigger mystery, if you will, Robes, because a lot of people might be listening. |
| 1:36.6 | And what do you mean deciding whether or not there's enough evidence? |
| 1:39.4 | Yes, we fully expect. |
| 1:41.4 | And we've seen a lot of preliminary hearings. |
| 1:43.2 | This is a formality. This one's |
