Posobiec Urges Death Penalty in Charlie Kirk Case After 5 Days of Evidence

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 13

Summary

  • Five days into a Utah preliminary hearing, Jack Posobiec said prosecutors had shown an “avalanche” of evidence against Tyler Robinson in the 2025 killing of Charlie Kirk and argued convicted assassins should face the death penalty.
  • Prosecutors presented alleged confessions to Robinson’s former lover and roommate, DNA on the suspected murder weapon and ammunition, toolmark links to engraved casings, and surveillance they say showed Robinson and his Dodge Challenger on campus twice.
  • Current law does not automatically make assassination death-penalty eligible, so expanding capital punishment to cover such cases would require lawmakers to broaden aggravating factors.
  • Robinson has not entered a plea and returns to court Sept. 1, when a judge will hear arguments on whether the case should be sent to trial.
