The Latest: Defense, prosecution argue at Kirk assassination hearing over evidence to be admitted

A weeklong preliminary hearing for the man charged with killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk has paused for the day and will resume Thursday. Prosecutors are aiming to show that they have enough evidence against Tyler Robinson to proceed to trial. The 23-year-old defendant is charged with aggravated murder in Kirk’s Sept. 10 assassination on the Utah Valley University campus. Robinson has not yet entered a plea. Prosecutors and defense attorneys spent much of Wednesday afternoon seeking to sway a judge over what videotaped interviews, texts and other messages should or should not be admitted in the case.
