00:00:00.270 --> 00:00:03.430
What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the program. In
2
00:00:03.450 --> 00:00:05.110
this episode, we're going to get right back to that
3
00:00:05.150 --> 00:00:09.310
Tyler Robinson transcript from the prelim hearing on day one.
4
00:00:10.609 --> 00:00:15.970
And once again, prosecution is asking questions. Question, Agent Hull,
5
00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:21.640
you testified that there were four visits to campus that day. Answer, correct, yes. Question,
6
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:24.859
and the first three visits, based on what you have observed,
7
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.620
it's your opinion that those videos were captured by UVU
8
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:33.270
surveillance video, is that correct? Answer, that is correct, yes. Question,
9
00:00:33.289 --> 00:00:36.049
the fourth visit, well, the fourth visit to was captured
10
00:00:36.090 --> 00:00:40.189
by UVU surveillance video, is that correct? Answer, correct. Question,
11
00:00:40.490 --> 00:00:42.909
was there any other video that was collected, either on
12
00:00:42.950 --> 00:00:45.469
the 10th or on the 11th, that you believe might
13
00:00:45.490 --> 00:00:49.159
be important or relevant to today's hearing? Answer, there was
14
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.659
a large amount of video. Gets cut off. I'm going
15
00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:55.079
to be a little bit more specific. Other than UVU
16
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.140
surveillance video, was there any other video that was collected
17
00:00:58.500 --> 00:01:02.920
and subsequently gathered an 1102 statement for? Answer, yeah. We
18
00:01:02.939 --> 00:01:07.650
collected ring doorbell footage from the surrounding neighborhoods. Question, okay.
19
00:01:07.689 --> 00:01:10.329
Let me ask you this. Did that include video from
20
00:01:10.390 --> 00:01:16.390
residences located at 860 West, 925 South Orem? Answer, yeah.
21
00:01:16.750 --> 00:01:20.840
That's the horseshoe area, yeah. Question, okay. That's in Orem. Answer, correct.
22
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.780
Question and close to campus. Answer, yes it is. Question, okay.
23
00:01:25.109 --> 00:01:27.750
And what can you tell us about that video? Answer,
24
00:01:28.069 --> 00:01:30.569
it has a ring doorbell video that was provided that
25
00:01:30.609 --> 00:01:33.430
showed a vehicle consistent with the one we had identified
26
00:01:33.489 --> 00:01:36.230
as belonging to Mr. Robinson parking in front of the
27
00:01:36.290 --> 00:01:39.930
residence across the street. Question, okay. And what can you
28
00:01:39.969 --> 00:01:43.390
tell us about the timing of that parked vehicle? Answer,
29
00:01:43.709 --> 00:01:48.599
if I recall, that vehicle parked approximately 038 hours on
30
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:53.040
the morning of the 11th. Question, okay, so 038 hours,
31
00:01:53.219 --> 00:01:57.760
what time is that to regular people? Answer, just after midnight. Question,
32
00:01:57.819 --> 00:02:01.980
at 1238? Answer, in the morning, yes. Question, okay, so
33
00:02:02.019 --> 00:02:05.219
how did this video come to your attention? That you're
34
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.400
talking about this doorbell or whatever? Question, the footage was
35
00:02:08.460 --> 00:02:10.919
obtained as part of the canvas of the area that
36
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.460
was conducted as part of the investigation. Question, were you
37
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.430
able to identify the owners of that residence? Answer, yes. Question,
38
00:02:19.469 --> 00:02:23.210
Where that video was collected from? Answer, correct. Question, okay.
39
00:02:23.949 --> 00:02:26.090
And do you know who it was collected from and
40
00:02:26.129 --> 00:02:29.770
by whom? Answer, it was Mr. and Mrs. Noble. I
41
00:02:29.789 --> 00:02:33.590
believe Agent Davis collected the video directly from them. Question, okay.
42
00:02:34.050 --> 00:02:37.750
And do you know what date it was collected? Answer,
43
00:02:37.810 --> 00:02:40.819
if I can refresh my notes. Answer, if referring to
44
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:42.740
your notes will refresh your memory, go ahead and take
45
00:02:42.780 --> 00:02:45.620
a look at that, but don't read it out loud. Question,
46
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:48.300
or answer, excuse me. I don't have the specific date.
47
00:02:48.659 --> 00:02:51.159
But I do know that myself and Agent Davis returned
48
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.490
to the address as we had done in the previous
49
00:02:53.500 --> 00:02:56.830
videos and had the owners of the video verify that
50
00:02:56.849 --> 00:02:59.870
it was from their system. And we did have them
51
00:03:00.669 --> 00:03:06.250
complete an 1102 statement, which would be dated. Question, okay,
52
00:03:06.270 --> 00:03:10.009
so let's talk about this. What does that video look like? Answer,
53
00:03:10.250 --> 00:03:12.830
it's a nighttime view looking from the front porch of
54
00:03:12.870 --> 00:03:16.129
the residence across the street. Question, okay, and what about
55
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.419
the video? Why was this particular video significant to you?
56
00:03:20.939 --> 00:03:24.800
Why do you think that that was related to the case? Answer,
57
00:03:24.860 --> 00:03:27.449
we know from the UVU footage that the person, we
58
00:03:27.509 --> 00:03:30.629
believe to be Mr. Robinson, had interaction with law enforcement.
59
00:03:30.930 --> 00:03:33.370
And a short period after that, the vehicle comes to
60
00:03:33.409 --> 00:03:36.590
that house. And some additional evidence that was collected from
61
00:03:36.629 --> 00:03:39.939
the cell phone data and things indicated that Mr. Robinson
62
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.120
was in the area. And we were able to locate
63
00:03:42.139 --> 00:03:46.949
the footage of his vehicle on that ring doorbell camera. Question,
64
00:03:47.050 --> 00:03:49.889
or at least, what you believe is this vehicle? Answer, yeah,
65
00:03:49.949 --> 00:03:53.469
the vehicle that we believe to belong to Mr. Robinson. Question,
66
00:03:53.810 --> 00:03:56.189
and is there something about that vehicle or that particular
67
00:03:56.229 --> 00:03:59.030
video in this, I guess a vehicle, that was captured
68
00:03:59.050 --> 00:04:03.430
that leads you to believe that it was Mr. Robinson's vehicle? Answer, yeah,
69
00:04:03.469 --> 00:04:06.729
the vehicle has very distinct wheels. I won't say they're
70
00:04:06.750 --> 00:04:09.750
wholly unique, but in terms of the video footage that
71
00:04:09.789 --> 00:04:12.770
we're reviewing, the wheels on the vehicle are fairly unique
72
00:04:13.189 --> 00:04:17.290
and stand out on the video footage. Question, Okay, so again,
73
00:04:17.350 --> 00:04:22.769
this video that you received early on in the investigation? Answer, yes. Question, okay.
74
00:04:23.209 --> 00:04:25.980
And then in preparation for the prelim hearing, you went
75
00:04:26.009 --> 00:04:30.160
back out and you met with someone about this video? Answer, correct. Question,
76
00:04:30.579 --> 00:04:34.079
who specifically did you meet with about the video? Answer,
77
00:04:34.139 --> 00:04:37.660
I met with Ms. Noble. Question, and what did you
78
00:04:37.699 --> 00:04:41.060
do with Ms. Noble? Answer, we did what we'd done before.
79
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.459
We had specific files that we wanted, or files that
80
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.639
we wanted her to verify. The footage itself is broken into,
81
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:51.370
I believe, 10 second segments. So we had specific files
82
00:04:51.699 --> 00:04:53.850
that we had her view, and confirmed that they were
83
00:04:54.029 --> 00:04:58.230
actually from her system. Those were written on the 1102,
84
00:04:58.230 --> 00:05:01.470
as they had been before. Question, and who wrote those
85
00:05:01.509 --> 00:05:05.089
file names on this particular statement? Answer, I believe it
86
00:05:05.129 --> 00:05:10.069
would be my handwriting on the 1102. Question, alright, what
87
00:05:10.110 --> 00:05:12.569
did you do next? Answer, we had her view the
88
00:05:12.610 --> 00:05:16.259
videos and then complete a statement verifying the authenticity of
89
00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:21.680
those videos on the 1102. Question, okay, was this also
90
00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:25.120
prepared on a State Bureau form? Answer, I believe this
91
00:05:25.180 --> 00:05:29.160
was on a State Bureau investigation form, yeah. Question, and
92
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.660
in this particular form on which Ms. Noble provided her statement,
93
00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:35.379
does it have the advisory that it would be used
94
00:05:35.730 --> 00:05:39.720
in lieu of her testimony here today? Answer, it does, yes. Question,
95
00:05:39.740 --> 00:05:42.459
does it also contain a warning that if she gave
96
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:48.129
a false statement, it's punishable by a Class A misdemeanor? Answer, correct. Question, okay.
97
00:05:48.569 --> 00:05:50.649
I'm going to have displayed on your monitor what's been
98
00:05:50.670 --> 00:05:54.850
marked states exhibit number 13 for identification. Let me know
99
00:05:54.870 --> 00:05:58.670
when you see that, would you? Answer, I can see that. Question, okay.
100
00:05:58.990 --> 00:06:02.170
And I'm going to have my assistant scroll through that slowly. Okay,
101
00:06:02.209 --> 00:06:06.290
do you recognize that? Answer, I do, yes. Question, what
102
00:06:06.329 --> 00:06:10.189
is it? Answer, correct. The 1102 that myself and Agent
103
00:06:10.230 --> 00:06:14.029
Davis collected from Ms. Noble. Question, and does it appear
104
00:06:14.069 --> 00:06:17.029
to be in the same condition as when you collected it? Answer,
105
00:06:17.050 --> 00:06:21.810
it does, yes. Question, this is a copy, right? Answer, yes. Question, okay.
106
00:06:22.310 --> 00:06:25.300
And the personal identifying information appears to be redacted. Is
107
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:29.399
that right? Answer, it has been redacted, yes. Question, okay.
108
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.800
It wasn't redacted when you collected it, right? Answer, no.
109
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.980
The original form was not redacted. question so other than
110
00:06:37.009 --> 00:06:39.600
the redactions it appears to be in the same condition
111
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.519
as it was when you collected it answer that is
112
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.740
correct question the state would move to admit exhibit 13
113
00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:50.600
judge graph miss nester now kathy nester objects once again
114
00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:55.000
your honor we renew our concern about unconstitutional hearsay being
115
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.329
admitted we have the same concern about the fact that
116
00:06:58.370 --> 00:07:01.870
agent hull amended this himself and there's no foundation as
117
00:07:01.910 --> 00:07:04.670
to when he filled that in if it was before
118
00:07:04.709 --> 00:07:07.519
or after she signed it And due to all those reasons,
119
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.680
we object to its admission and object to its publication
120
00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:17.389
as well. Judge Graff, prosecution. Now the prosecution, they're a butt. Judge, again,
121
00:07:17.649 --> 00:07:20.870
it was collected in compliance with Rule 1102 of the
122
00:07:20.970 --> 00:07:26.709
Utah Rules of Evidence, specifically subsection B8. It's in writing.
123
00:07:27.100 --> 00:07:30.220
It's on a form. It includes both the advisory and
124
00:07:30.259 --> 00:07:33.139
the warning, and it was collected by Agent Hull. It's
125
00:07:33.180 --> 00:07:36.819
also collected in compliance and being introduced as reliable hearsay,
126
00:07:37.220 --> 00:07:40.000
which is lawful to do here in Utah under the
127
00:07:40.019 --> 00:07:44.759
state constitution. Article 1, Section 12. Judge Graff, do you
128
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.300
wish to lay more foundation about when the statement was written,
129
00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:51.240
whether it was before it was signed or not? Answer,
130
00:07:51.660 --> 00:07:54.439
I can do that, Judge. I appreciate that. Yes, Agent Hall,
131
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:59.019
do you recall when you collected this written statement from Ms. Noble? Answer, yeah,
132
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.899
it was in April. Question, in April, do you know
133
00:08:01.939 --> 00:08:05.459
what day? Answer, April 6th, I believe. Question, okay, and
134
00:08:05.490 --> 00:08:08.550
you collected it. Did you go to her home? I think,
135
00:08:08.569 --> 00:08:11.610
is that what you said? Answer, yeah, myself and Agent
136
00:08:11.629 --> 00:08:14.930
Davis went to the residence. Question, okay, and did you
137
00:08:14.970 --> 00:08:19.420
sit there while she prepared it? Answer, I did, yes. Question,
138
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:23.579
and did you witness her sign it? I did, yes. Question, okay,
139
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:27.860
at this point, I'd move to admit Exhibit 13. Judge Graff,
140
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:31.490
all right, and to the state representative, could you scroll down? Okay,
141
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.039
all right. Pursuant to the Utah Rule of Evidence 1102
142
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.220
and Article 1, Section 28, I'm sorry, Article 1, Section 12,
143
00:08:39.220 --> 00:08:42.059
which allows for a reliable hearsay, I'm going to move
144
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.879
it into, it's going to be admitted, into evidence over
145
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:48.679
the objection of the defense. I note in particular that
146
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.419
it states that I confirm that the above files were
147
00:08:51.460 --> 00:08:55.490
taken from our Nest Doorbell videos and are accurate. And
148
00:08:55.529 --> 00:08:59.350
right before that statement is the notation that were allegedly
149
00:08:59.389 --> 00:09:02.179
made by Agent Holt. and so for the reasons the
150
00:09:02.230 --> 00:09:05.710
court finds proper foundation has been laid, and that this
151
00:09:05.750 --> 00:09:09.750
exhibit in its entirety is admitted into evidence. As it
152
00:09:09.789 --> 00:09:13.129
relates to publication, I will authorize publication in the courtroom
153
00:09:13.409 --> 00:09:15.740
and by the media if they so wish to capture
154
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:19.720
it in that form. Again, following the same format, I
155
00:09:19.779 --> 00:09:22.139
have it on the first portion of the screen for
156
00:09:22.179 --> 00:09:24.539
about 10 seconds, and then scroll down to the written
157
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.590
portion for about 15, and then scroll to the very
158
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:30.649
bottom to ensure that the full exhibit has been displayed.
159
00:09:31.049 --> 00:09:36.480
All right, that concludes the publication of State Exhibit 13. Question,
160
00:09:36.500 --> 00:09:38.580
thank you, Judge. The video that you took with you
161
00:09:38.620 --> 00:09:41.799
that day when you visited with Ms. Noble, or Ms. Noble,
162
00:09:42.220 --> 00:09:45.159
had you previously, well, you've stated that the videos that
163
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:50.620
you showed the Nobles were actually more than one video. Answer, correct. Question, okay,
164
00:09:50.899 --> 00:09:54.110
and I believe you said they were like 10-second clips. Answer,
165
00:09:54.169 --> 00:09:57.649
if I recall correctly, yes. Question, short clips, and you
166
00:09:57.669 --> 00:10:01.950
showed Ms. Noble all those videos that I in that statement? Answer,
167
00:10:02.350 --> 00:10:06.529
the one shown on the statement was shown to Ms. Noble, yes. Question,
168
00:10:06.830 --> 00:10:09.009
have you had the chance to review what's been marked
169
00:10:09.029 --> 00:10:14.000
state exhibit number 12.2? Answer, yes. Question, and when did
170
00:10:14.019 --> 00:10:16.720
you have a chance to review that exhibit? Answer, I
171
00:10:16.779 --> 00:10:20.860
believe that was reviewed last week, I believe, with yourself. Question,
172
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.200
and does that video, is it a single video that
173
00:10:23.220 --> 00:10:28.070
you watched? Answer, no, I believe it's four separate short videos. Question,
174
00:10:28.330 --> 00:10:30.870
and I understand that, but as far as the 12.2
175
00:10:30.870 --> 00:10:34.990
is concerned, what does that exhibit consist of? Answer, it
176
00:10:35.009 --> 00:10:37.750
shows the vehicle believed to be driven by Mr. Robinson
177
00:10:37.789 --> 00:10:40.889
arriving in front of the residence, an individual exiting the
178
00:10:40.929 --> 00:10:44.029
vehicle and moving away from it, followed by an individual
179
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.379
returning to the vehicle and unlocking it. And then it
180
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.250
shows the vehicle, a short time later, starting... and leaving
181
00:10:50.269 --> 00:10:55.669
the area. Question. And those are videos that you showed, Ms. Noble? Answer. Yes.
182
00:10:57.049 --> 00:11:00.509
Question 12. What I have displayed on your monitor? What's
183
00:11:00.549 --> 00:11:04.009
been marked states exhibit 12.2 for identification. Let me know
184
00:11:04.049 --> 00:11:06.929
as soon as you see. Should still be an image. Answer.
185
00:11:06.970 --> 00:11:10.990
It's there. Question. Do you recognize what's depicted there? Answer. Yeah.
186
00:11:11.309 --> 00:11:14.590
This is the view looking what would essentially be west
187
00:11:14.889 --> 00:11:19.419
across the street from the Noble's residence. Question, okay, at 12.38 a.m.,
188
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:24.100
I guess. Answer, yes. Question, okay, and what's depicted in this?
189
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.830
I think you've already described that. So, Judge, I would
190
00:11:27.870 --> 00:11:33.789
move to admit Exhibit 12.2. Judge Graff, Ms. Nestor. Now
191
00:11:33.889 --> 00:11:36.730
she has another objection, Your Honor. We renew our objection
192
00:11:37.190 --> 00:11:40.419
to allowing the evidence without the sponsoring witness. I do
193
00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:43.600
have some concerns because I'm not totally sure if this
194
00:11:43.779 --> 00:11:48.610
is a compilation or this is just one of the two, three, four, five,
195
00:11:48.690 --> 00:11:51.970
six videos they took from the nobles. So if we
196
00:11:52.009 --> 00:11:55.149
could just have that clarification, I think that's what concerns
197
00:11:55.190 --> 00:11:58.389
me about the authenticity that I don't understand if this
198
00:11:58.460 --> 00:12:00.379
is just a portion or if this is the whole
199
00:12:00.419 --> 00:12:02.759
thing or if this is all of them or none
200
00:12:02.779 --> 00:12:05.299
of them. And for those reasons, we object to the
201
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:12.509
admission and to the publication. Prosecution, Judge Graff asks. Now
202
00:12:12.549 --> 00:12:15.240
they answer. That's a good point. And I'll ask additional
203
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.059
questions before I re-seek to admit it. Agent Hall, this
204
00:12:18.100 --> 00:12:21.600
particular video you described taking several videos to Ms. Noble
205
00:12:21.860 --> 00:12:25.000
and having her review them? Answer, yes. Question, okay, this
206
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:30.500
particular exhibit, 12.2, have you watched it in its entirety? Answer, yes. Question,
207
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.379
does it consist of either some or all of those
208
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.700
videos that you showed Ms. Noble? Answer, it does, yes. Question, okay.
209
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:40.639
And is it a single video? Is it a compilation,
210
00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:43.600
that is to say? Or is it four different videos?
211
00:12:44.700 --> 00:12:47.960
Or a number of different videos? Answer, it'll be a
212
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:51.070
number of short videos sequenced. Question, okay, a number of
213
00:12:51.110 --> 00:12:53.710
short videos in sequence? Answer, I believe that's how this
214
00:12:53.789 --> 00:12:58.870
one plays, yes. Prosecution, okay, judge again, I seek to
215
00:12:58.909 --> 00:13:03.169
admit it. Judge Graff, anything further from the parties? No
216
00:13:03.230 --> 00:13:07.110
objection this time. So Judge Graff continues. All right, given
217
00:13:07.129 --> 00:13:10.379
my previous rulings on exhibits, I apply the same analysis
218
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:14.179
and find that state exhibit 12.2, I believe, is admitted
219
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:17.120
over the objection and may be published in the courtroom
220
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.519
and by the media, if so chosen. All right, folks,
221
00:13:20.539 --> 00:13:22.259
we're going to wrap up right here. And in the
222
00:13:22.299 --> 00:13:26.519
next episode, we're going to pick up with prosecution asking, OK,
223
00:13:26.570 --> 00:13:30.230
so before we play the video. All the information that
224
00:13:30.250 --> 00:13:33.529
goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
