What to know:The weeklong preliminary hearing for the man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk continues Wednesday. Prosecutors are aiming to show that they have enough evidence against Tyler Robinson to proceed to a trial, a bar experts say they are likely to pass.The 23-year-old Robinson is charged with aggravated murder in the Sept. 10 assassination of Kirk on the Utah Valley University campus, for which prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. Robinson’s attorneys have not commented on his guilt or innocence. Robinson’s lawyers are expected to keep questioning the reliability of DNA testing that prosecutors said links the defendant to the suspected murder weapon, a rifle found wrapped inside a towel.On Tuesday, prosecutors showed previously unseen campus surveillance footage that investigators testified showed Robinson on the Utah Valley University campus talking with Kirk’s staff, and later returning in different clothes to shoot the conservative activist from a rooftop.
