Judge Graf And The Order To Bind Tyler Robinson Over For Trial On All Counts Charged (Part 1) (9/5/26)
About this episode
Graf also found sufficient evidence at the preliminary-hearing stage to infer that Robinson would have been aware of those people when he allegedly fired. The judge pointed to evidence that Robinson had been at the location beforehand, that there was a clear line of sight from the southwest roof area to Kirk’s canopy and that the rifle allegedly used contained an optic. Graf stopped short of making findings about exactly what Robinson could see through the scope or calculating the probability that a bullet could have ricocheted, overpenetrated or deviated from its intended path. Instead, he ruled that the totality of the evidence was enough to satisfy the relatively low probable-cause threshold and bind Robinson over for trial. Robinson has pleaded not guilty to all seven counts, and the aggravated-murder charge remains the count carrying potential capital punishment as the case now moves into its full pretrial phase.
