In a Phoenix courtroom, a judge has determined that Tyler Robinson must stand trial for the murder of Charlie Kirk, and that the death penalty may be sought if prosecutors choose to pursue it.

The law now asks its most solemn questions — of evidence, of culpability, and ultimately, of what justice requires when a life has been taken.
