  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome back to the program. In
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: this episode, we're going to pick up where we left
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: off with day number two of the Tyler Robinson prelim hearing.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: And once again, prosecution is asking the questions. Thank you, Judge.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Agent Hall, before we actually watch State Exhibit 12.4, I
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: have just a few questions. Yesterday, you testified at the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: very beginning of your investigation that you focused on the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: video that captured the shooter on top of the Losee building.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Is that correct? Answer, yes. Question, I believe you also
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: testified that you began by working your way, and this
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: is what I remember you saying, so correct me if
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong, but you in essence testified that you began
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: with that video and you started working your way backward
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and forward with the UVU surveillance video in an effort
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to trace the shooter's steps on campus. Is that right? Answer, correct. Question, okay.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Would you mind explaining just in a little bit more
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: detail what you meant by that? Tracking forward and backward
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: on that video? Answer, yeah. We hadn't known when the
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: shooting occurred. And as the officer testified, there was a
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: video of an individual on the roof at the time
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: of the shooting. And so the philosophy that we applied
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: was to take what we knew and then work with
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: that forward through the timeline and backwards through the timeline
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to try and establish where the individual had gone from
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the rooftop or how the individual had come to be
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: on the rooftop. Question, and did that, for the lack
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of a better term, bear fruit? Answer, it did, yes. Question,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: did you actually see, at least in part, where he
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: came from, and where the shooter went? Answer, yeah, more
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: so where he came from. It was very limited after
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the fact. Question, okay, you testified yesterday that in reference,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I believe, to what's marked State Exhibit 21, that you
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: believe Mr. Robinson visited campus at least four times on
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the 10th and the 11th. Answer, correct. Question, And I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: think you reaffirmed that today. Did you do the same
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: attempt that is to track Mr. Robinson through UVU surveillance
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: video during each of those four visits? Answer yes. Question.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Or those other three visits, I guess. Question or answer yes.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: On each occasion, we attempted to follow the movements of
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the individual throughout the campus. Question. And did you, in fact,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: see Mr. Robinson on campus in surveillance video that is
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: not included in State Exhibit 12.4? Answer, yes. There is
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: additional footage of him on campus. Yes. Okay. I'm going
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to have displayed on your monitor. What you're going to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: see is a paused or still image. And I'm going
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to ask you if you recognize what? You see that now,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Agent Hall? Answer, I do. Question, okay. Do you recognize
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: what's displayed on that monitor? Answer, yeah. It's footage from
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the university that was provided to us, particularly of the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: parking structure. Question. Okay. And does that appear to be
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: footage from state exhibit 12.2 or 12.4? Answer. It does. Yes. Question. Okay.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to have
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: this video run. And then if you don't mind, as
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: it's running, I'm probably going to be asking some questions.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: The video has no audio. Is that right? Answer. No,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: there is no audio on the cameras. Question. Okay. Let's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: go ahead and start the video. Um, the lawyer for
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the media jumps in your honor. It's just not up
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: on the screen yet. Judge, let's go ahead and put
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it on all screens. Judge, no, I appreciate it. So
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it's admitted and may be published to the screens. And
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I just want to make sure it's on your screen, Agent.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: All right, all right. Prosecution, you may proceed. Question, appreciate that, Judge.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Go ahead. Okay. What are we seeing here? Agent? Answer?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: That's the vehicle that's believed to belong to Mr. Robinson

  Speaker 1: believe that this particular vehicle belongs to Mr. Robinson? Answer,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: information that was provided regard to driver's license and Department
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: of Motor Vehicle records. The vehicle fits the description of

  Speaker 1: a vehicle owned by Mr. Robinson. Question, is there anything
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: unique about that vehicle that stands out to you? Answer,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the shape of the vehicle is very distinct, but predominantly
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the wheels were very distinctive on this version of the vehicle. Question,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: now what do we see? Answer, the driver of the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: vehicle exits the vehicle and then walks on foot to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: exit the parking garage. It's the individual in the red
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: t-shirt and the shorts and the shoes. Question, and you
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: believe you recognize who that person is? Answer, yes. Question,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: who is that? Answer, I believe it's Tyler Robinson. Question,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: all right, and where does he go from there? Answer,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: he heads out of the parking garage on foot into
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the campus and actually goes to the quad area of

  Speaker 1: the campus. At the time, he makes contact with some
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: representatives from TPUSA. Question, by the quad area? Answer, sorry,

  Speaker 1: the amphitheater is what I've previously referred it to. Question,

• 5:33
  Speaker 1: structure located on campus? Answer, it's just off campus drive.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: It's a short walk from the amphitheater. Question, and what
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: do we see now? Answer, that's the vehicle exiting with Mr.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Robinson driving the vehicle. Question, now what do we see? Answer,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: this is Mr. Robinson returning to campus on foot from
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood to the northeast. You can see he's wearing
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the same clothing as in the previous video, and he's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: carrying a blue backpack. Question, describe the clothing. Answer, it's
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: a maroon colored t-shirt with gray or olive colored shorts,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and then Converse shoes. Question, and what time did he
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: return to campus? Answer, just after 10 a.m. Question, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: does he leave the parking structure eventually? Answer, yes, he does. Question, okay,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and during his visit, do you know where he goes
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: after he leaves the parking structure? Answer, yeah, we were
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: able to track his movements on campus. He went to
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Chick-fil-A in the Sorenson building and purchased some food, sat
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and ate the food. Question, where did he purchase the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: food from? Answer, Chick-fil-A in the Sorenson Center. Question, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: where is that in relation to the amphitheater or the courtyard? Answer,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: it's kind of on the northeast side of the amphitheater.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: It would be on the upper back edge of the amphitheater,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: furthest away from where the tent was that Mr. Kirk
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: was in. Question, and from there, where does he go? Answer,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: from there, he moves across campus, out across Campus Drive,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: into a wooded area on what would be kind of
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the northeast side of Campus Drive, then returns back onto campus.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: We notice at this point that he's no longer carrying
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the backpack that he was originally wearing. He moved through
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Gunther Building and the Computer Science Building, and then gets
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: cut off by prosecution, and then goes where? Answer, then
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: goes to the railing that gives access to the roof
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: of the Losey Building. Question, and from there? Answer, from
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: there he comes back down the stairs and walks off
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: campus from that point. Question, and about what time was that?
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that he left campus that second time, do you know? Answer,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I believe it was approximately 11 a.m. or just after,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: if I recall. I could verify from my notes if
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: you need the exact time. Question, yeah, if you don't mind,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that'll help you remember or refer to it. Don't read
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: it out loud. Just let me know when you've had
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a chance to look at that, would you? Were you
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: able to refresh your memory as far as the time? Answer,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I was, yes. Question, and what time was it? Answer,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: it was just prior to 11 a.m. when he walked
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: off campus. Question, okay, and before we go any further,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the parking structure that he left initially, where is that
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: parking structure in relation to the LDS Institute building? Answer,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, in relation to? Question, the LDS Institute building
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: on campus. Answer, I think that would be just north
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: of the LDS Institute building, if I recall. Question, do
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: you recall whether it was adjacent to the LDS Institute? Answer, yes,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it was. Question, okay, all right. What do we see
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: displayed here now? Go ahead. Question, this is a video
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: of Mr. Robinson returning back to campus the same way
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: that he did previously on foot. Question, and this takes
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: just a moment, and why? Well, let me ask you this.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: You believe this is Mr. Robinson returning to campus? Answer,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I do, yes. Question, okay, and why do you believe
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: it's Mr. Robinson? Answer, the shoes are the same, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the image that we have from my viewing and seeing Mr.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Robinson on the video, it's the same person. Question, he's
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: noticeably wearing different clothes. Answer, he's wearing different clothing, and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: he's also walking with a gate or a limp in
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the video. Answer, or question, with a gate or what? Answer,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a limp. Question, okay, now what do we see? Answer,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: this is Mr. Robinson coming up the stairs of the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: parking structure. Again, he seems to be having issues walking.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Question and again, were you able to track Mr. Robinson
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: when he leaves the parking structure? Answer, yeah, we were
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: able to. Question, okay, so when he leaves the parking structure,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: where does he go? Answer, he comes up around Campus Drive.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: As you can see on the video here, there is
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a cut through there, north of the Losey building. And
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: that's Mr. Robinson coming up the sidewalk. He has a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: noticeable gator limp in his walk, and then he moves
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: south across the front of the Losey building. Question on
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the sidewalk? Answer, yes, correct. Okay, he would be at
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the rear of those two individuals in the particular video. Question,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: all right, so right now, if you were to break
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: this picture into quadrants, where would he be? Answer, he'd
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: be in the top left quadrant, walking to the left
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: of the image. Question, now what do we see? Answer,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: this is an image looking across the parking lot to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the Losey building and Mr. Robinson is appearing on the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: exterior staircase, which gives access to the Losey building roof
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and the area where the railing was. Question, and again,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: let's break that image into quadrants. Where would he be
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: located if you broke it into quadrants? Answer, it's in
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the top right and the individual can be seen moving
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: under the notations that are on the video. Question, okay,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and what time is this? Answer, it's just afternoon, about 12.15. Question,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: on what day? Answer, September 10th, 2025. All right, folks,

  Speaker 1: we're going to wrap up part two right here. And
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: in the next episode dealing with the topic, we're going
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: to pick up where we left off. And that's with
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: prosecution still asking the questions. And the question is, okay,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: what just happened? Or what did we just see happen?
