Prosecutors hammer Charlie Kirk assassination suspect with ‘voluminous’ DNA, gun, text and rooftop evidence

Prosecutors in the Tyler Robinson case wasted no time in declaring they had already gathered “voluminous” evidence against Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin.

“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.

To better understand the strategy behind that phrase, Fox News Digital spoke with Dan Gerl, a Washington state-based defense attorney at Next Law, who previously served as a prosecutor and has more than 20 years of courtroom experience. Gerl said the prosecution’s emphasis on the volume of material was no accident, and it sets the stage for how the case may unfold in the months ahead.

On Monday, Robinson’s defense team formally responded to prosecutors’ claims by filing a sweeping discovery request in Utah’s Fourth Judicial District Court. The motion, signed by attorneys Nester, Novak and Burt, seeks access to virtually every category of evidence collected in the case.

The request demands disclosure of 911 recordings, police bodycam transcripts, cellphone extractions, original digital files, chain of custody records, and the results of DNA, fingerprint and firearm testing. It also seeks mental health records.

Prosecutors have charged Robinson with seven counts, including aggravated murder, which carries the potential death penalty, felony firearms charges, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and committing violence in the presence of a child. He has not yet entered a plea.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Robinson’s defense team for comment.
