Charlie Kirk death conspiracy theories and hearing

A preliminary hearing was held in Provo, Utah for Tyler Robinson, the 23-year-old accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah Valley University debate event. Prosecutors presented autopsy results, surveillance footage, DNA evidence, and alleged confessions to make their case, though the judge had not yet issued a ruling by the end of the week. The hearing also drew attention to persistent conspiracy theories circulating online that challenged the state's account of Kirk's death.
