The preliminary hearing for the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk has wrapped.
That closes a week of testimony and the defense called their last witness earlier today a DNA analyst who defense lawyers were trying to use to close in the assumption that it was in fact Tyler Robinson's DNA found on the weapon.
So what is next in this case?
Well, September 1st is apparently going to be the next hearing and those will be final arguments before the judge will make a decision about whether or not this case can go to trial and whether or not capital punishment is on the table for this case.
Tyler Robinson has not yet entered a plea and his attorneys in all appearances are preparing for a trial.
