A Utah judge will decide Tuesday if there's enough evidence to put the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk on trial for aggravated murder, which would make him eligible for the death penalty.
The hearing in state court comes after prosecutors in July spent five days presenting what they said was "overwhelming" evidence that Tyler Robinson killed the conservative activist while he was speaking at an open-air event on a college campus.
The 23-year-old defendant turned himself in a day after the shooting at Utah Valley University last September. He has not yet entered a plea, and his lawyers have not offered alternative theories for Kirk's death. They've focused instead on blocking the case from proceeding to trial and trying to get the death penalty taken off the table.
