Connection to the Charlie Kirk Case
Hull is one of two SBI case agents permitted to remain in the courtroom for the prelim (with Brian Davis). He is the State's primary video and investigation-overview stand witness tying UVU surveillance to the person the State believes is Tyler Robinson.
On Day 1 the State called him after Chris Bagley ("The state calls David Hull" — Ryan McBride). His examination continued into Day 2.
Reported testimony (attributed)
Surveillance timeline (CNN / pool)
Hull walked the court through footage the State says shows Robinson on campus multiple times on 09/10/2025:
- ~8:30 a.m. — vehicle into parking garage; courtyard / TPUSA interaction; leave ~9:25 a.m.
- ~10:30 hour — food; wooded area; backpack missing on return; leave before 11 a.m.
- ~11:53 a.m. — different clothes, limp
- ~12:22 p.m. — rooftop run/crawl prone near shot time; escape toward woods with an object
- ~12:30 a.m. 09/11 — vehicle stop on campus road; plate tied to Robinson / mother
Other Day 1–2 threads
- Authentication of eyewitness, UVU surveillance, Ring doorbell video
- Medical examiner report foundation
- In-court identification of Robinson for prelim purposes (over defense objection — judge finding limited to the hearing)
- Cross by Kathryn Nester: chain of custody, rooftop search, empty holster vs gun-in-holster report conflict, unfired round on another roof (officer-rifle account), people cleared early, event security posture
Crime-scene paving
Citizen clips attribute to Hull that he learned of courtyard paving via news reports, without prior notice to him as lead. That is attributed testimony commentary used in cover-up threads; it is not a finding that Hull approved or participated in any improper destruction of evidence. See Dirt Removed and related pages.
Clothing-change discussion
The most-discussed portion among citizen commentators concerns a change of clothes on the Losee Center roof. This site treats that account as testimony and attributed commentary, not an established site conclusion:
- Clothing Change & Agent David Hull
- Blake Bednarz public follow-up request (July 17, 2026) — his opinion/request
