Latest / The Epstein Chronicles / Tyler Robinson Preliminary Hearing Transcripts (Day 2 Part 1) (9/18/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the program. In
- 0:03Speaker 1: our previous episode dealing with Tyler Robinson and the prelim hearing,
- 0:08Speaker 1: we wrapped up day number one. Well, now we're on
- 0:10Speaker 1: to day number two. And we're going to skip through
- 0:13Speaker 1: all of the swearing in and all of that nonsense.
- 0:17Speaker 1: And we're going to pick up as the court fully
- 0:19Speaker 1: comes into session. And the state is up first. Thank you,
- 0:24Speaker 1: Your Honor. Before this hearing, the defense... moved to find
- 0:27Speaker 1: Article 1, Section 12 of the Utah Constitution Rule 7b
- 0:31Speaker 1: and Rule 1102 unconstitutional as it relates to the admissibility
- 0:36Speaker 1: of hearsay and reliable hearsay at this hearing. The issue
- 0:39Speaker 1: was extensively briefed and argued. The court denied the defense
- 0:43Speaker 1: motion to exclude the use of reliable hearsay at the
- 0:46Speaker 1: prelim hearing. That ruling is at docket number 631. In addition,
- 0:51Speaker 1: defense counsel filed a standing objection on July 3rd. That's
- 0:56Speaker 1: Docket 678. The standing objection reasserted the argument made in
- 1:00Speaker 1: defendant's previous motion, and defendant continues to make these same
- 1:04Speaker 1: objections throughout the testimony of each witness. I believe both
- 1:07Speaker 1: the state and the court and everyone present knows that
- 1:10Speaker 1: the defense objects to the use of hearsay or reliable
- 1:13Speaker 1: hearsay at this hearing. On the point of preserving the objection,
- 1:17Speaker 1: that has been done. Defense counsel has filed their motion.
- 1:21Speaker 1: They filed their standing objection throughout the preceding they've continued
- 1:25Speaker 1: to make objections. At this point, further objection is unnecessary
- 1:29Speaker 1: to preserve the record and causes undue and unnecessary delay.
- 1:33Speaker 1: This is a needless delay. And we'd ask the court
- 1:36Speaker 1: to acknowledge and the record to reflect the standing objection.
- 1:40Speaker 1: And we also ask the court to give an instruction
- 1:43Speaker 1: that continuing objections on this ground are unnecessary. Of course,
- 1:48Speaker 1: if it relates to some other ground or some item
- 1:50Speaker 1: that's particular to a particular statement, that objection is may
- 1:54Speaker 1: be appropriate. But at this point, we feel that the
- 1:56Speaker 1: repeated objections that have been made and already been ruled
- 2:00Speaker 1: upon are unnecessary and cause undue delay. Judge, thank you, Mr. McBride,
- 2:05Speaker 1: to the defense. Now it's Michael Burt for the defense.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Good morning, Your Honor. Michael Burt for Mr. Robinson. We
- 2:12Speaker 1: have no objection to that procedure as long as the
- 2:14Speaker 1: court makes a ruling that the objections are preserved. We
- 2:18Speaker 1: do think it would expedite matters if we didn't have
- 2:20Speaker 1: to repeat the standing objection that There may be particular
- 2:23Speaker 1: objections that are not covered by the standing objection that
- 2:26Speaker 1: we've made, so we ask permission to be allowed to
- 2:29Speaker 1: make those objections as needed. Judge Graff, thank you. Mr. Burt,
- 2:33Speaker 1: thank you both sides. I appreciate the presentation and your
- 2:37Speaker 1: argument about this. The court takes no position in regards
- 2:40Speaker 1: to whether the objection is made again and again or not.
- 2:43Speaker 1: I leave that to the parties. I recognize the need
- 2:46Speaker 1: to expedite this, and if both sides stipulate, I'll adopt
- 2:49Speaker 1: the request that the standing objection, as it relates, to
- 2:53Speaker 1: 1102 Article 1, Section 12 of the Utah Constitution and
- 2:57Speaker 1: all relevant authorities that have been cited have been noted
- 3:01Speaker 1: and the standing objection by defense is in place. However,
- 3:05Speaker 1: if defense feels the need to do that in order
- 3:08Speaker 1: to protect the constitutional rights of Mr. Robinson, the court
- 3:12Speaker 1: will not prevent that or stand in its way. The
- 3:15Speaker 1: court's acting in the role of a magistrate and will
- 3:17Speaker 1: allow the parties to move forward as necessary. But, as
- 3:21Speaker 1: noted in I'll make that note throughout the rest of
- 3:24Speaker 1: the prelim hearing. Anything further or any need for the
- 3:27Speaker 1: record given the court statement? Prosecution, not from the state.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Kathy Nestor, no, your honor. Judge Graff, all right, thank you,
- 3:35Speaker 1: all right. The court acknowledges that the exclusionary rule is
- 3:40Speaker 1: in effect. At this time, any witness who is subject
- 3:42Speaker 1: to exclusion should be excused from the courtroom. And again,
- 3:46Speaker 1: I'll leave it to the parties to monitor the courtroom
- 3:48Speaker 1: to ensure that if a witness has come in and
- 3:51Speaker 1: they shouldn't be, that they're redirected. I invite Agent Hull
- 3:54Speaker 1: to return to the stand to resume direct examination. And
- 3:57Speaker 1: Agent Hull, you are still under oath. And before we begin,
- 4:01Speaker 1: is there any way to dim these lights just a
- 4:03Speaker 1: tad like we did yesterday? Perfect. Thank you. All right.
- 4:07Speaker 1: As of yesterday, there is also a bottle of water
- 4:10Speaker 1: to your left. And if you wouldn't mind just making
- 4:12Speaker 1: sure that the microphone is directly in front of you.
- 4:15Speaker 1: We want to make sure that the record picks up
- 4:17Speaker 1: your testimony today. Prosecution, your witness. Prosecution, thank you, Judge.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Agent Hull, we're going to return to what's been marked
- 4:26Speaker 1: as State's Exhibit 12.1. There was a reference to it yesterday.
- 4:31Speaker 1: And I'd like to ask you again, have you ever
- 4:33Speaker 1: viewed this exhibit? Answer, yes. Question, and if you wouldn't mind,
- 4:38Speaker 1: just briefly remind us what the exhibit consists of. Answer,
- 4:41Speaker 1: the exhibit is a combination, redacted. Question, okay. Somebody jumps in.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Your Honor, excuse me, we can't hear the witness. Judge Graff,
- 4:51Speaker 1: And that's what I hear. So let's go ahead and stop.
- 4:54Speaker 1: I'm not hearing it. So I'm going to have you repeat.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Let's test it and go ahead. So they go through
- 5:00Speaker 1: it and they test it. Now the microphone's working again
- 5:04Speaker 1: and they're back at it. Prosecutor, okay, let's go ahead
- 5:07Speaker 1: and go back to what's been marked as state exhibit 12.1.
- 5:11Speaker 1: I'd asked you a moment ago if you've reviewed that exhibit. Answer, yes,
- 5:15Speaker 1: I have. Question, okay. And would you remind us what
- 5:18Speaker 1: the exhibit consists of? Answer, it's a compilation of videos
- 5:22Speaker 1: that were part of the overall footage that was obtained
- 5:25Speaker 1: from the Utah Valley University as part of the investigation. Question,
- 5:29Speaker 1: and does that compilation video, from your point of view,
- 5:32Speaker 1: capture Mr. Robinson arriving to and visiting the UVU campus? Answer,
- 5:37Speaker 1: yes it does. Question, on September 10th through the 11th, 2025? Answer, correct. Question, okay,
- 5:46Speaker 1: and again, I asked you this question yesterday. but did
- 5:49Speaker 1: you prepare that video compilation? Answer, I did not. Question, okay,
- 5:53Speaker 1: do you know who did? Answer, the Utah County's Attorney's Office. Question, okay,
- 5:58Speaker 1: does that video, and I'm referring to 12.1, State Exhibit 12.1,
- 6:03Speaker 1: does it include all the footage collected by the SBI
- 6:06Speaker 1: from UVU? Answer, it does not, no. Question, does that video, again, 12.1,
- 6:12Speaker 1: include all the footage you collected from UVU that captures
- 6:16Speaker 1: who you believe is Mr. Robinson walking around the campus? Answer,
- 6:19Speaker 1: not all the footage, no. Question, you reviewed this compilation
- 6:23Speaker 1: with Mr. Olson, is that correct? Answer, correct. Question, and
- 6:27Speaker 1: in its entirety? Answer, yes. Question, and then you collected
- 6:31Speaker 1: an 1102 statement from him? Answer, I did. Question, and
- 6:35Speaker 1: I believe that was actually been admitted into evidence as
- 6:38Speaker 1: state exhibit 12.3. Did Mr. Olson refer to that exhibit 12.1
- 6:44Speaker 1: in his statement? Answer, he did, yes. Question, okay, 12.3.
- 6:48Speaker 1: I'm going to put your monitor state exhibit 12.3. And
- 6:51Speaker 1: I ask that if you scroll down toward the very bottom,
- 6:54Speaker 1: and I would ask that you read from the statement
- 6:56Speaker 1: specifically that Mr. Olson said about state exhibit 12.1. And
- 7:01Speaker 1: I want to narrow your focus. So I'm going to
- 7:03Speaker 1: draw your attention about three quarters down the page. There
- 7:06Speaker 1: is a sentence that begins on the left margin. I
- 7:08Speaker 1: have reviewed. Do you see that? Answer. I do. Yes. Question. Okay.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Would you please read that sentence? Answer. I've reviewed State
- 7:17Speaker 1: Exhibit 12.1, and the recordings are true and accurate, including timestamps, dates,
- 7:23Speaker 1: and camera labels. The only changes are some zooms and
- 7:26Speaker 1: red highlights, which were not part of the original coding
- 7:29Speaker 1: or recording. Would you like me to? Prosecution. I'm sorry.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Agent Hall. Sorry, I didn't know if you wanted me
- 7:36Speaker 1: to continue. Prosecution. No, that's good enough. Have you had
- 7:40Speaker 1: a chance? Well, you reviewed the raw footage yourself. Is
- 7:43Speaker 1: that correct? Answer. Correct. Question. And does that comport with
- 7:47Speaker 1: your viewpoint of that exhibit? Answer, it does, yes. Question,
- 7:52Speaker 1: have you had a chance to refer, or I'm sorry, review,
- 7:55Speaker 1: what's been marked as state exhibit 12.4? Answer, yes. Question, okay.
- 7:59Speaker 1: And when did you review that exhibit? Answer, this morning. Question,
- 8:04Speaker 1: and who did you review that exhibit with? Answer, with
- 8:07Speaker 1: Kimberly inaudible. Question, okay. Was there any conversation about that exhibit? Answer, no,
- 8:13Speaker 1: I was just shown the video. Question, okay, nobody asked
- 8:17Speaker 1: you questions or suggested anything to you? Answer, they did not, no. Question,
- 8:22Speaker 1: did you prepare that exhibit? Answer, I did not. Question,
- 8:26Speaker 1: do you know who did? Answer, the Utah County's Attorney Office. Question,
- 8:30Speaker 1: all right, and I'm referring specifically to what's been marked
- 8:34Speaker 1: State Exhibit 12.4. What's depicted in that video? Answer, that
- 8:39Speaker 1: video is again a compilation of videos from the overall
- 8:41Speaker 1: footage that was obtained from the Utah Valley University for
- 8:45Speaker 1: September 11th and September 12th. Question, and how does it
- 8:51Speaker 1: compare to what's been marked as State Exhibit 12.1? Answer,
- 8:55Speaker 1: it appears to be the same footage. However, on this
- 8:57Speaker 1: particular version, there were no circles or blurs that had
- 9:01Speaker 1: been made to the video. Question, how about zooming in
- 9:05Speaker 1: and zooming out? Question, no, there was no zooming in
- 9:08Speaker 1: or out. Question, does it appear to be identical to
- 9:12Speaker 1: the raw footage that you've seen that portrays this particular
- 9:16Speaker 1: part of the UVU surveillance video? Answer, it does, yes. Question, judge,
- 9:21Speaker 1: the state would move to admit what's been marked as
- 9:23Speaker 1: State Exhibit 12.4. Kathy Nestor, Your Honor, we just object
- 9:28Speaker 1: to the publication of this for all the reasons that
- 9:30Speaker 1: we argued yesterday. We think this video is going to
- 9:33Speaker 1: play a big role in the trial, and to allow
- 9:35Speaker 1: the public to see it now would seriously impact our
- 9:38Speaker 1: ability to get a fair trial and we're asking the
- 9:41Speaker 1: court not to publish it. Judge, thank you, and to
- 9:44Speaker 1: all counsel, as it will apply to all counsel, when
- 9:47Speaker 1: you're moving a piece of evidence, there's three parts, whether
- 9:50Speaker 1: admissibility into the record, to be published in the courtroom,
- 9:53Speaker 1: to be published in the courtroom and captured by the media. So, prosecution,
- 9:58Speaker 1: what's your request? Where are you requesting? Answer, judge, first
- 10:03Speaker 1: of all, clearly, I'd move to admit the exhibit. And judge,
- 10:06Speaker 1: the presumption is that this is a public record and
- 10:09Speaker 1: it should be published. And so the state's position is
- 10:12Speaker 1: that it should be published here in the courtroom and
- 10:15Speaker 1: it should be published in such a way that the
- 10:17Speaker 1: media can capture it on video. Judge Graff. All right.
- 10:22Speaker 1: And to that, David Ryman jumps in, who is one
- 10:25Speaker 1: of the lawyers for the media. Your Honor, can I
- 10:28Speaker 1: be heard on that very briefly? The judge, you may.
- 10:31Speaker 1: If you'd approach the lectern, please, and state your name.
- 10:35Speaker 1: I'm David Ryman. I represent the news media. I didn't
- 10:38Speaker 1: make an appearance because the news media technically aren't parties,
- 10:41Speaker 1: but as you know, they do have a right to
- 10:43Speaker 1: be heard on issues like this, and I have tried
- 10:46Speaker 1: to keep that to a minimum. But since this is
- 10:48Speaker 1: the first one that's come up today, I thought it
- 10:50Speaker 1: might be helpful to just address it again. There is
- 10:53Speaker 1: a presumption not just that it be published in the
- 10:56Speaker 1: courtroom as we talked about yesterday, because the participants or
- 10:59Speaker 1: the spectators in the courtroom have a right to know
- 11:02Speaker 1: what the court's viewing so that they can understand how
- 11:05Speaker 1: you're making your decisions. This seems like a very important
- 11:08Speaker 1: piece of evidence. It doesn't seem like there's a basis
- 11:12Speaker 1: to keep the people who are in the courtroom today
- 11:14Speaker 1: from understanding why it's being introduced. It's not like the
- 11:18Speaker 1: videos yesterday, and to my understanding at least is. You
- 11:21Speaker 1: can correct me if I'm wrong, but we didn't object
- 11:23Speaker 1: to the videos that weren't published yesterday that were graphic.
- 11:27Speaker 1: We didn't object to the non-publication of the autopsy report.
- 11:30Speaker 1: The argument here is that Mr. Nestor just made this
- 11:34Speaker 1: seems really relevant, and that is precisely why it needs
- 11:37Speaker 1: to be public. The last thing that I'm going to
- 11:40Speaker 1: address is EMC. There is a presumption, it's a rule, presumption,
- 11:44Speaker 1: not a constitutional one, that EMC is allowed. And I
- 11:47Speaker 1: think that for all the reasons that we've briefed this,
- 11:50Speaker 1: for your honor, several different ways, there needs to be
- 11:53Speaker 1: a really good reason why. If it's being published in
- 11:55Speaker 1: a public proceeding in the courtroom, it should not also
- 11:58Speaker 1: be allowed to be published to the media. Judge, thank you.
- 12:02Speaker 1: David Ryman, thank you. Prosecution, do you wish to respond
- 12:07Speaker 1: or perhaps give a little bit more detail on what
- 12:09Speaker 1: this video purports to show? Prosecution, okay, well, do you
- 12:13Speaker 1: want me to proffer that judge or have the witness? Answer,
- 12:16Speaker 1: I'll defer to you. Prosecution? Okay, well, first of all,
- 12:19Speaker 1: if I could take one step back, let me ask you.
- 12:21Speaker 1: I may have misheard, but let's just be clear about
- 12:24Speaker 1: the video, the compilation video. It includes video surveillance from UVU,
- 12:28Speaker 1: campus from what dates? Answer, September 10th, 2025, and the
- 12:33Speaker 1: morning of the 11th, 2025. Question, and if you wouldn't mind,
- 12:38Speaker 1: just describe that in a bit more detail. What the
- 12:40Speaker 1: compilation includes? Answer, by Agent Hull, the compilation shows the
- 12:45Speaker 1: movement of individual individuals believed to be Mr. Robinson, on
- 12:48Speaker 1: Utah Valley University campus arriving and leaving in a vehicle.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Arriving and leaving on foot, and then returning and leaving,
- 12:56Speaker 1: and then attempting to gain access again in the vehicle,
- 12:59Speaker 1: and his movement throughout the day, are included in the
- 13:02Speaker 1: videos also. Question, is there any footage of the alleged shooting? Answer,
- 13:07Speaker 1: there is not, Judge. Question, okay, I just want to
- 13:10Speaker 1: clarify that Ms. Nestor, given that additional information, and anything
- 13:14Speaker 1: further defense? Answer, Your Honor, Mr. Burt's going to. He's
- 13:18Speaker 1: the one who's been litigating all the First Amendment issues,
- 13:21Speaker 1: if he could address Mr. Ryman's argument. Judge, yes, Mr. Burt,
- 13:25Speaker 1: if you wouldn't mind coming forward. Judge Burt, Judge, I
- 13:28Speaker 1: just want to clarify one argument that was made by
- 13:30Speaker 1: counsel for the media yesterday, and that was the rules.
- 13:33Speaker 1: The rule 4-202.02 does not apply to the situation that
- 13:38Speaker 1: we're in right now, and that is wrong. The rule
- 13:41Speaker 1: says that this rule applies to the judicial branch... And
- 13:45Speaker 1: 4-202J says the judge may regulate or deny access to
- 13:50Speaker 1: exhibits to ensure a fair trial. So I think that
- 13:52Speaker 1: rule does apply to our situation and the Supreme Court
- 13:56Speaker 1: in Algier case 258 Pacific 3rd 589 apply the rule
- 14:01Speaker 1: in the context of an evidentiary exhibit. And I know
- 14:04Speaker 1: the court has not mentioned since counsel made the argument
- 14:07Speaker 1: this particular rule, but I think it does apply here.
- 14:11Speaker 1: and also applicable to the Supreme Court's decision in the
- 14:14Speaker 1: Kearns case, which we talked about when we argued the
- 14:17Speaker 1: motion for denying access to cameras, and in that case,
- 14:21Speaker 1: Kearns Cameras, and that case Kearns v. Tribune Corporation, 685 Pacific,
- 14:27Speaker 1: 2nd 515, says that the standard the court ought to
- 14:30Speaker 1: apply in determining whether an exhibit at a prelim hearing
- 14:33Speaker 1: should be sealed is one of a realistic likelihood of prejudice.
- 14:38Speaker 1: and we rely on the evidentiary showing we've made in
- 14:40Speaker 1: connection with our motion to exclude cameras, and there is
- 14:44Speaker 1: a realistic likelihood of prejudice in this way. The court
- 14:47Speaker 1: knows and has access to the media coverage up to
- 14:50Speaker 1: the time when we litigated the motion concerning closing this
- 14:53Speaker 1: hearing to the cameras, and the court knows that one
- 14:56Speaker 1: feature of the media coverage has been a very pro-prosecution
- 14:59Speaker 1: bias of every story that's been published on this account.
- 15:04Speaker 1: The court also knows from coverage that the information is
- 15:07Speaker 1: being widely disseminated, and you have found in connection with
- 15:10Speaker 1: the shackling issue that publicity in this case is likely
- 15:14Speaker 1: to reach jurors who will be part of our jury pool.
- 15:17Speaker 1: And we've also submitted to the court public opinion survey,
- 15:20Speaker 1: which shows that the prejudicial publicity that the media has
- 15:23Speaker 1: already generated in the case has affected the jury pool.
- 15:27Speaker 1: And so those are all the factors the court can
- 15:29Speaker 1: point to and rely on and conclude that publication of
- 15:33Speaker 1: this particular exhibit should not be allowed because there is
- 15:36Speaker 1: a realistic likelihood of prejudice to Mr. Robinson's right to
- 15:39Speaker 1: a fair trial. So under that standard and under the rule,
- 15:43Speaker 1: the court ought to deny its publication. Thank you, Mr. Burt. Judge,
- 15:49Speaker 1: any final arguments from the parties before the court issues
- 15:52Speaker 1: its ruling? Prosecution, Your Honor, can I be heard on
- 15:55Speaker 1: that briefly? Judge, yes you may. Prosecution. Thank you, Your Honor.
- 15:59Speaker 1: I just want to clarify. I don't know that Mr.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Burt and I necessarily disagree about what he said about
- 16:05Speaker 1: the rule. What we're talking about yesterday was something different.
- 16:08Speaker 1: That's the portion of the rule that classifies records that
- 16:11Speaker 1: are in the court file. It's not the same as
- 16:13Speaker 1: what happens in a public hearing. And Mr. Burt referenced
- 16:16Speaker 1: the portion of the rule that essentially just tracks the
- 16:19Speaker 1: constitutional standard, which of course controls here as to whether
- 16:23Speaker 1: this is public proceeding and it can be closed in
- 16:25Speaker 1: any way, and non-publication of exhibits as a form of closure.
- 16:30Speaker 1: So I don't necessarily disagree. I would just underscore a
- 16:33Speaker 1: lot of what Mr. Byrd has said has been briefed
- 16:35Speaker 1: ad nauseum at this point. Their position that publicity is
- 16:39Speaker 1: incompatible with a fair trial. An Algier case he mentioned,
- 16:42Speaker 1: I know that case. I litigated that case. It involved
- 16:45Speaker 1: a confession that the court found public because you have
- 16:49Speaker 1: so many other tools to seat a fair and impartial jury.
- 16:52Speaker 1: And we have cited that case repeatedly and so has,
- 16:54Speaker 1: Your Honor, I think recognized in your ruling saying pretrial
- 16:58Speaker 1: publicity can coexist with a defendant's right to a fair trial.
- 17:02Speaker 1: So the last thing that I'll say is just that
- 17:05Speaker 1: the constitutional standard that I think we're all agreeing applies
- 17:08Speaker 1: here is weighty and difficult to overcome. And it never satisfies,
- 17:13Speaker 1: as we've explained, by just generalized assertions. And there's a
- 17:16Speaker 1: lot of publicity out there. It's got to be something
- 17:19Speaker 1: really specific that they just haven't made that showing. and
- 17:23Speaker 1: I certainly don't think that a video that apparently just
- 17:26Speaker 1: shows a defendant walking around the UVU campus qualifies. Question,
- 17:31Speaker 1: thank you. Anything further? The state judge from the state, no.
- 17:36Speaker 1: But I think I'd like to be crystal clear. You
- 17:39Speaker 1: asked if there's any portion of this video that captures,
- 17:42Speaker 1: and I believe you asked for the actual shooting. There's
- 17:44Speaker 1: no video of that. There is video, however, and you've
- 17:47Speaker 1: heard testimony related to this, where the shooter goes on
- 17:50Speaker 1: top of the Losey building. goes out to the edge
- 17:52Speaker 1: of the building, low crawls, and then leaves after what
- 17:55Speaker 1: we assume is a shot being fired. That's as close
- 17:59Speaker 1: as it gets. I don't know if it makes a difference, judge.
- 18:02Speaker 1: I just wanted to make the record clear, and I
- 18:04Speaker 1: want to be crystal clear with you, your honor. The judge,
- 18:08Speaker 1: thank you, I appreciate that. Clarification as it's guiding for
- 18:11Speaker 1: this court and making its ruling. I turn to Utah, well,
- 18:15Speaker 1: let me put this up. So rule 4-202.02, I go
- 18:19Speaker 1: down to, well, first it says, statement of the rule.
- 18:22Speaker 1: One presumption of public court records. Court records are public
- 18:25Speaker 1: unless otherwise classified by this rule. Two public court records.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Public court records include, but are not limited to, and
- 18:32Speaker 1: I'm going to go down to 2J. Exhibits. But the
- 18:36Speaker 1: judge may regulate or deny access to ensure the integrity
- 18:39Speaker 1: of the exhibit of fair trial or interest favoring closure.
- 18:44Speaker 1: And the court recognizes the importance of the constitutional rights
- 18:47Speaker 1: of Mr. Robinson being upheld and protected at the same time.
- 18:51Speaker 1: The court also recognizes the importance of transparency and a
- 18:55Speaker 1: proper balance to ensure that the constitutional rights of all
- 18:58Speaker 1: parties are upheld. As it relates to Exhibit, I believe
- 19:02Speaker 1: it's 12.4. Based off the representations of what is in that,
- 19:06Speaker 1: the court differentiates this exhibit from the exhibits from yesterday,
- 19:10Speaker 1: namely Exhibit 7 and 8 and Exhibit 9, as those
- 19:14Speaker 1: are different in nature. And those go to issues relating
- 19:17Speaker 1: to Utah Constitution, Article 1, Section 28, as it relates
- 19:21Speaker 1: to the Declaration of Rights of Crime Victims. And the
- 19:25Speaker 1: court also recognizes Utah Rule of Evidence 1102, as that
- 19:29Speaker 1: is the foundation that's being laid for the admission of
- 19:32Speaker 1: this exhibit. Having taken in consideration all factors, the court
- 19:36Speaker 1: rules that Exhibit 12.4 is admitted into evidence and shall
- 19:41Speaker 1: be played in the courtroom and may be broadcast by
- 19:43Speaker 1: the media. We can proceed. All right, folks, we're going
- 19:46Speaker 1: to wrap up right here. And in the next episode
- 19:49Speaker 1: dealing with the top we're going to pick up where
- 19:51Speaker 1: we left off. And that's with, thank you, Judge, Agent Ho,
- 19:55Speaker 1: before we actually watch State Exhibit 12.4. All the information
- 20:00Speaker 1: that goes with this episode can be found in the
- 20:03Speaker 1: description box.
