17:29Now PlayingFive days of testimony. A confession note. A redacted video. Dozens of exhibits. And at the end of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing, Judge Tony Graf didn't rule from the bench — he set oral arguments for September 1 and said a written decision could take weeks after that. Former homicide prosecutor Melba Pearson, the Resident Legal Diva, recaps the week's most consequential testimony — Lance Twiggs' recorded statement, the alleged confession note, the DNA fight, and the rooftop "sniper pad" evidence — and breaks down exactly why a delayed ruling in a case this serious isn't a red flag, it's standard practice for a capital case built to survive appeal.
