0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Crime Alart hourly update breaking crime news Now. I'm Sidney Silvannie.

0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 1>We begin today in Utah, where dramatic new evidence has

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>been unveiled in the assassination case of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Robinson, the suspect accused of pulling the trigger, allegedly

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>interacted directly with Turning Point USA staff members hours before

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>the fatal shooting occurred. Robinson appeared in court Wednesday for

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>the third day of a high stakes preliminary hearing. Authorities

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 1>accused Robinson of killing Kirk during a Turning Point USA

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>rally on the campus of Utah Valley University back on

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>September tenth, twenty twenty five. On day two of those proceedings,

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:46.560
<v Speaker 1>which were streamed live, prosecutors introduced critical surveillance footage tracking

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>the movements of an individual they insist as Robinson before

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and after the gunfire. David Hole, the Utah law enforcement

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>agent who led the investigation into Kirk's murder, testified Tuesday

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that campus cameras track the suspect. Agent Hole noted that

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Robinson interacted with staff and even ate lunch at a

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Chick fil A on campus that afternoon.

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 2>At that time, he makes contact with some representatives from TPUSA,

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.839
<v Speaker 2>So he goes about campus, visits the amphitheat to area,

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 2>the courtyard or quad. Correct, he went to Chick fil

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 2>A in this armsen billing, put just some food and

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 2>satonate the food.

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Though subsequent footage revealed the individual later changed his attire.

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Narrating over surveillance footage, Prosecutor David Sturgell questioned Agent Hole

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>about the visual evidence connecting Robinson to the scene.

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>You believe this is mister Robinson returning to campus. I do, yes, okay,

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.559
<v Speaker 2>and what do you believe it's mister Robinson. The shoes

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 2>are the same, and the images that we have from

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 2>my viewing and seeing mister Robinson on the video, it's

0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 2>the same person.

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>He's noticeably wearing different clothing.

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 2>He is wearing different clothing, and he also is walking

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 2>with a gait or limp in the studio.

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Beyond the clothing change, prosecutors presented shocking footage of an

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>individual positioned on the roof of a campus building around

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.919
<v Speaker 1>the exact time of the shooting, who later lowered himself

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>from the structure while holding an object. Sitting through this

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 1>agonizing testimony was Kirk's widow, Erica Kirk, who has maintained

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 1>her presence in the court room. The late activist family

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>is also in attendance, but frequently depart when witnesses detail

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Kirk's death. Ahead of the hearings, this week, the Kirk

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 1>family released a heartbreaking social media statement noting that every

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>single court proceeding serves as a painful reminder of his

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>death and the loss that has irrevocably impacted their lives

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>in the lives of his children. They added that they

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 1>remain deeply grateful for the outpouring of support, prayers, and

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.079
<v Speaker 1>kindness that has sustained them during the darkest days of

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>their lives. More crime and Just news after this. In California,

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>a stunning legal resolution has emerged for a Pasadena radiologist

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.919
<v Speaker 1>accused of intentionally driving his tesla off a two hundred

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and fifty foot cliff with his family inside the vehicle.

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Forty five year old Darmesh Arvind Patel is no longer

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>facing criminal charges after completing a two year mental health

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:26.919
<v Speaker 1>diversion program. Pateel originally faced three counts of attempted murder

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 1>following the January twenty twenty three crash on a notorious

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.119
<v Speaker 1>stretch of Highway one known as Devil's Slide in San

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Mateo County near Pacifica, which injured his forty one year

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>old wife, Niha Patel, and their two children, a seven

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>year old girl and a four year old boy. Because

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Patel completed the program, his passport was returned and a

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>no harassment order lifted. San Mateo County District Attorney Steve

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Wagstaff issued a statement Tuesday, July seven, explaining that under

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>California law, Judge Cho had no discretion and was required

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>to dismiss the charger of entirely. During court proceedings, two

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>doctors testified that Patel was experiencing a psychotic episode, believing

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>his children were victims of sex trafficking. While the defense

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>claimed major depressive disorder, prosecutors argued he would not benefit

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>from diversion. The dismissal stands in contrast to the California

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Highway Patrol's initial finding of probable cause for an intentional act.

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Immediately after the plunge. Multiple witnesses heard in the hotel

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:31.600
<v Speaker 1>paramedics her husband intentionally tried to kill them. However, Nihal

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 1>later stated through defense attorney Josh Bentley that she did

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 1>not want him prosecuted. Patel has since surrendered his medical license. Finally,

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>police and Maryland say a recent commercial burglary case delivered

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 1>an instant dose of cosmic justice. Near the ninety three

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.799
<v Speaker 1>hundred block of Baltimore National Pike in Ellicott City, twenty

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>nine year old Jalen Goddard allegedly smashed a window to

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>rob a Verizon wireless store, leaving behind blood evidence. He

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 1>stole merchandise and ran outside, only to find his vehicle gone.

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Goddard had left his truck running across the street with

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>keys inside, and another thief drove it away. Stranded. The

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.840
<v Speaker 1>suspect actually called police to report his stolen truck at

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the exact moment dispatchers received the store's burglary alarm. Officers

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>reviewed surveillance footage, matched his cuts to the blood of

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the scene, and confronted him on camera.

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 2>So the gigs up.

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 1>It's whether you want to be honest about stuff or not.

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean? I do? All right?

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, that's kind of some karma right there,

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 1>ain't it.

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I left?

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's some karma right there.

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:42.520
