Judge says roommate of Charlie Kirk murder suspect won't testify in person at preliminary hearing
A Utah judge denied a defense request to force Tyler Robinson's former roommate to testify in person during a preliminary hearing for the murder of Charlie Kirk. The judge emphasized that preliminary hearings determine if there's enough evidence for trial, not guilt or innocence, and allowed prosecutors to use recorded statements from the roommate. DNA evidence linking Robinson to the murder weapon was presented, but defense attorneys highlighted forensic reports showing multiple people's DNA on some items.
