The Utah county attorney’s office presented the evidence on the second day of a week-long preliminary hearing in which the state must prove to a state district judge that there was enough evidence for the case to move to trial. Robinson, 23, has been charged with aggravated murder in the killing of Kirk, who died after being shot in the neck while speaking at the Utah university last September. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Robinson, and say there is DNA evidence that links him to the weapon believed to be used in the killing.

The prosecution also submitted graphic footage of the shooting itself into evidence that was not shown to the public. Tuesday’s proceedings began with David Hull, a former Utah state bureau of investigation agent, taking the stand. Hull narrated what was unfolding in videos played in court that he said showed Robinson arriving on campus, leaving and then returning later in different clothing.
