Prosecutors in the Tyler Robinson case said they have already compiled “voluminous” evidence against the man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
“There is a substantial amount of discovery in this case, Your Honor. It’s voluminous, to say the least. And we’re working on a process where we can exchange information as quickly as possible and be efficient in that process,” Utah County Chief Deputy Attorney Chad Grunander said Monday during Robinson’s court appearance, according to
To better understand the prosecution’s strategy, Fox News Digital spoke with Dan Gerl, a Washington state defense attorney with Next Law who previously served as a prosecutor and has more than two decades of courtroom experience.
Gerl told the outlet that the emphasis on the “voluminous” amount of evidence was intentional and helps shape expectations for how the case could develop in the coming months.
Prosecutors have already indicated the presence of various forms of evidence, as indicated by Gerl.
“You’ve got physical evidence, video surveillance showing what appears to be Robinson on the roof, the weapon found tied to his grandfather, bullet casings with inscriptions linked to online forums, messages from his social media accounts and even prints from his body and shoes on the roof,” he told Fox.
Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, FBI Director Kash Patel said investigators had obtained a positive DNA match and text messages in which the suspect appeared to admit to the shooting.
