PROVO, Utah — Accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson returns to a Utah courtroom Tuesday for a hearing that could send his case to trial or dramatically reshape it, with a judge to weigh whether prosecutors have shown enough probable cause to support the aggravated murder charge that puts the death penalty on the table — and the suspect may finally be asked to enter a plea nearly a year after the slaying.Robinson, a 23-year-old from Washington, Utah, is accused of firing a single shot that killed the 31-year-old father of two during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Sept. 10, 2025.While the defense has argued that prosecutors have not established enough probable cause to pursue aggravated murder, which carries the potential death penalty, experts tell Fox News Digital that they don’t expect Judge Tony Graf Jr. to take it off the table just yet.ACCUSED CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSIN TYLER ROBINSON ASKS JUDGE TO TAKE POTENTIAL DEATH PENALTY OFF TABLE”We’re at a preliminary hearing stage, so we’re at a very low burden,” said Skye Lazaro, a Salt Lake City-based defense attorney who is not connected to…

The Cleveland Browns made their quarterback decision entering the 2026 NFL season, but football fans are still trying to process why Deshaun Watson is getting the Week 1 start against the Jacksonville Jaguars over Shedeur Sanders.The decision by first-year head coach Todd Monken may have answered the question on everyone’s mind for the Browns this preseason, but the debate still rages on throughout the football world considering Watson’s track record in Cleveland and how the $230 million man hasn’t lived up to his contract in the slightest.In fact, fans booed Watson during their home preseason against the Buffalo Bills, to which he called them “disrespectful” and “personal” rather than a reaction to his performance on the field. Either way, Watson heads into the new campaign – his first regular-season play since tearing his Achilles in 2024 – with an immense amount of pressure. However, one former NFL star believes the leash will be quite tight for the veteran signal caller.Maybe to the point where he doesn’t start under center come Week 3 – the Browns’ home opener against the Carolina Panthers.”If they start the season 0-2 – you open with the Jaguars. Then, you have Tampa Bay, then you come…

Arizona Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte finally graced his team with his presence Monday, returning to the lineup after ghosting the club and leaving fans holding the bag for two weeks. Naturally, the D-backs rewarded his unexcused vacation by plugging him right back into the clean-up spot as the designated hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies.”I’m going to stand in front of my teammates like a man,” Marte said through a translator. “I’m going to ask for forgiveness. We’re human, we all commit mistakes.” Marte walked away from the club in Boston on Aug. 17 without permission, initially leading to a restricted list placement before the team cited knee inflammation.Marte admitted the no-show was entirely on him.PHILLIES SEND CY YOUNG CONTENDER CHRISTOPHER SANCHEZ TO THE MOUND IN WILD CARD RACE SHOWDOWN”A moment of frustration,” he explained. “No one made the decision for me, I’m the one that made the decision to not show up.” He added, “I get along really well with Torey, and in that instance I failed him by not showing up,” referring to manager Torey Lovullo.

Soldiers in the division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team and Combat Aviation Brigade will also be deployed for up to a year, according to the memo.Task and Purpose and Stripes first confirmed the memorandum.

You’re talking about the donor class…” Sanders said. “Are they less than enthusiastic about Abdul? Yes, they are.” GRETCHEN WHITMER ENDORSES MODERATE HALEY STEVENS IN TIGHT UPCOMING SENATE PRIMARYDemocratic strategist and former Biden White House chief of staff Yemisi Egbewole pushed back on Sanders’ framing, pointing instead to the party’s need to capture the Senate and El-Sayed’s responsibility to consolidate Democrats after narrowly defeating Rep.

After meeting her, he asked her why she was anti-Israel. Accurso reportedly told him that she was not anti-Israel, but anti-Israeli government and anti-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”I pushed back on this, and I said, ‘That’s absurd,'” Lichtschein said. “Saying you’re anti-Netanyahu, but you’re not anti-Israel?

A U.S. Navy command investigation into a fire aboard one of its ships last year didn’t identify a root cause but said human error and poorly placed necessities exacerbated it.On Aug. 20, 2025, an 11-hour blaze broke out aboard the San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock USS New Orleans off the coast of Okinawa, Japan, leading to approximately $12 million in damage. Sailors successfully extinguished the blaze, leaving two service members with minor injuries. “As of the signing of this report, the NCIS investigation is ongoing, and the precise ignition source of the fire is unknown,” the report said. “As other causes (e.g., electrical, weather) have been ruled out, NCIS’ initial findings attributed the fire to human interaction, either intentional or due to negligence.”The fire took an abnormal amount of time to suppress because 100 boxes of toilet paper blocked sprinkler heads inside a special clothing storeroom that would have otherwise helped douse the flames, the investigation found.The toilet paper acted as kindling for the fire, making it grow larger and increase in duration.Hazardous materials, such as aerosol cans, that were not supposed to be in the storeroom were also found present after the fire.The ship’s crew and investigators who responded…
