Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing scheduled for entire week, only 14 seats for public in the courtroom

Livestream for the first day of the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing scheduled all week has not started as of 9:11 am. It is scheduled to go all week. Media has been given specific instructions. Limited parking for media. Only 14 seats available for public in the courtroom.

I will add photos as I get them from the pool. Utah media outlets do an excellent job covering the hearing. 

I do plan to check the hearing every single day and I cannot predict what I will cover in advance or how. The proceedings are being livestreamed.

KSL livestream says recess until 9:35 a.m.

Statement from Charlie Kirk's family released prior to today's hearing.

Charlie was a beloved husband, son, brother, friend, and father. Every court proceeding serves as a painful reminder of his death and the loss that has irrevocably impacted our lives and the lives of his children. We remain deeply grateful for the support, prayers, and kindness we have received. This outpouring has sustained us during the darkest days of our lives. Out of respect for the judicial process, we will not be commenting further at this time. We ask for continued privacy as we navigate this process and immense grief," according to the statement signed by Kirk's parents, Erika Kirk, and his sister, Mary."

As with most preliminary hearings initial witnesses, today the prosecution witness includes law enforcement officers. I am in California so the time is PST.
