Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in the case---EXCERPTS:

As PEOPLE previously reported, prosecutors claimed in their filing that Robinson confessed to killing Charlie Kirk in at least 11 separate written messages and that Robinson targeted Kirk due to the conservative activist’s views, particularly on LGBTQ+ rights.
