    • Kirk, a 31-year-old conservative activist, was shot dead on Wednesday – prosecutors allege he was targeted because of his “political expression

      The conclusion of Robinson’s first court appearance ends an extraordinary day here in Utah, as prosecutors unveiled seven charges over the killing of Charlie Kirk and said they would seek the death penalty.

      This is only the beginning of what will likely be a long-running and highly scrutinised legal process. It could be some time before Robinson stands trial, if the case progresses to that stage.

      Prosecutors and law enforcement are also still investigating the case, which could take weeks or months. Given Charlie Kirk’s prominence, the stakes are high for authorities leading the charge on this case.

  • Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  • Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
