Pretrial Hearings Begin as Robinson’s Defense Prepares Last-Minute Moves

Prosecutors contend that the shooting endangered numerous people attending the event, an aggravating factor they argue makes the case eligible for capital punishment

According to the Associated Press, the state plans to present DNA evidence allegedly linking Robinson to the suspected murder weapon, along with testimony from investigators, autopsy results, witness accounts and video footage of the fatal shooting.

At the preliminary hearing, prosecutors are not required to present their full case and may rely on hearsay evidence that would generally not be admissible at trial.

Once the hearing concludes, 2nd District Judge Tony Graf will decide whether prosecutors have established probable cause for the case to proceed to trial
