Summary

A lot of people online are calling this the Charlie Kirk trial, but as Hawk points out, it is not. Day four of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing is underway in a Utah state courtroom, and Hawk, a former criminal defense attorney, uses courtroom clips to explain what a preliminary hearing actually is: the state's chance to show probable cause, and the defense's chance to preview the evidence and fight to exclude parts of it before any trial.
