00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: interacted directly with Turning Point USA staff members hours before

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: the fatal shooting occurred. Robinson appeared in court Wednesday for

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: the third day of a high stakes preliminary hearing. Authorities

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,839

Speaker 1: rally on the campus of Utah Valley University back on

00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: September tenth, twenty twenty five. On day two of those proceedings,

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: which were streamed live, prosecutors introduced critical surveillance footage tracking

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: the movements of an individual they insist as Robinson before

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: and after the gunfire. David Hole, the Utah law enforcement

14
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: agent who led the investigation into Kirk's murder, testified Tuesday

15
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: that campus cameras track the suspect. Agent Hole noted that

16
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: Robinson interacted with staff and even ate lunch at a

17
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: Chick fil A on campus that afternoon.

18
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: At that time, he makes contact with some representatives from TPUSA,

19
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 2: So he goes about campus, visits the amphitheat to area,

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: the courtyard or quad. Correct, he went to Chick fil

21
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: A in this armsen billing, puta some food and satonate

22
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: the food.

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: Though subsequent footage revealed the individual later changed his attire.

24
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: Narrating over surveillance footage, Prosecutor David Sturgell questioned Agent Hole

25
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: about the visual evidence connecting Robinson to the scene.

26
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: You believe this is mister Robinson returning to campus. I do, yes, okay,

27
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 2: and what do you believe it's mister Robinson. The shoes

28
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: are the same, and the images that we have from

29
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: my viewing and seeing mister Robinson on the video, it's

30
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: the same person. He's noticeably wearing different clothing. He is

31
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: wearing different clothing, and he also is walking with a

32
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: gait or limp in the studio.

33
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: Beyond the clothing change, prosecutors presented shocking footage of an

34
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: individual positioned on the roof of a campus building around

35
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: the exact time of the shooting, who later lowered himself

36
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: from the structure while holding an object. Sitting through this

37
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: agonizing testimony was Kirk's widow, Erica Kirk, who has maintained

38
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: her presence in the court room. The late activist family

39
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: is also in attendance, but frequently depart when witnesses detail

40
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: Kirk's death. Ahead of the hearings, this week, the Kirk

41
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: family released a heartbreaking social media statement noting that every

42
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: single court proceeding serves as a painful reminder of his

43
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: death and the loss that has irrevocably impacted their lives

44
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: in the lives of his children. They added that they

45
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: remain deeply grateful for the outpouring of support, prayers, and

46
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: kindness that has sustained them during the darkest days of

47
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: their lives. More crime and Just news after this. In California,

48
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: a stunning legal resolution has emerged for a Pasadena radiologist

49
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: accused of intentionally driving his tesla off a two hundred

50
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: and fifty foot cliff with his family inside the vehicle.

51
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: Forty five year old Darmesh Arvind Patel is no longer

52
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: facing criminal charges after completing a two year mental health

53
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: diversion program. Pateel originally faced three counts of attempted murder

54
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: following the January twenty twenty three crash on a notorious

55
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 1: stretch of Highway one known as Devil's Slide in San

56
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: Mateo County near Pacifica, which injured his forty one year

57
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: old wife, Niha Patel, and their two children, a seven

58
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: year old girl and a four year old boy. Because

59
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: Patel completed the program, his passport was returned and a

60
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: no harassment order lifted. San Mateo County District Attorney Steve

61
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: Wagstaff issued a statement Tuesday, July seven, explaining that under

62
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: California law, Judge Cho had no discretion and was required

63
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: to dismiss the charger of entirely. During court proceedings, two

64
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: doctors testified that Patel was experiencing a psychotic episode, believing

65
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: his children were victims of sex trafficking. While the defense

66
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: claimed major depressive disorder, prosecutors argued he would not benefit

67
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: from diversion. The dismissal stands in contrast to the California

68
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Highway Patrol's initial finding of probable cause for an intentional act.

69
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: Immediately after the plunge. Multiple witnesses heard in the hotel

70
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: paramedics her husband intentionally tried to kill them. However, Nihal

71
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: later stated through defense attorney Josh Bentley that she did

72
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: not want him prosecuted. Patel has since surrendered his medical license. Finally,

73
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: police and Maryland say a recent commercial burglary case delivered

74
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: an instant dose of cosmic justice. Near the ninety three

75
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 1: hundred block of Baltimore National Pike in Ellicott City, twenty

76
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: nine year old Jalen Goddard allegedly smashed a window to

77
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: rob a Verizon wireless store, leaving behind blood evidence. He

78
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: stole merchandise and ran outside, only to find his vehicle gone.

79
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: Goddard had left his truck running across the street with

80
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: keys inside, and another thief drove it away. Stranded. The

81
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: suspect actually called police to report his stolen truck at

82
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: the exact moment dispatchers received the store's burglary alarm. Officers

83
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: reviewed surveillance footage, matched his cuts to the blood of

84
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: the scene, and confronted him on camera.

85
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: So the gigs up.

86
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: It's whether you want to be honest about stuff or not.

87
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I do all right, truck?

88
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's kind of some karma right there,

89
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: ain't it.

90
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: I left?

91
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,480
