Erika Leaves Courtroom Before Graphic Video Played

Those recordings showed Charlie Kirk collapsing after being struck in the neck by what prosecutors have described as a .30-06 hunting rifle round fired from roughly 200 yards away.

Members of Kirk’s security team immediately rushed to his aid before he was transported to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

During the hearing, Kathryn Kirk reportedly bowed her head while holding a packet of tissues as she listened to testimony.

Judge Tony Graf reminded those attending that anyone who left the courtroom during the graphic evidence could return once proceedings resumed.

Security around the courthouse was extensive, with multiple SWAT officers stationed inside the building and additional law enforcement personnel positioned on the roof, according to local reports.

Robinson’s attorneys also sought to block cameras from covering the proceedings, arguing extensive media coverage could influence future jurors.

Throughout Monday’s hearing, defense lawyers objected to nearly every piece of evidence introduced by prosecutors.

The judge sustained only one objection involving a video that appeared to have been edited, directing prosecutors to submit an unedited version for the court’s review, The New York Post reported.

The preliminary hearing is expected to continue throughout the week as prosecutors continue presenting evidence in one of the highest-profile criminal cases in the country.
