Expert Warns Charlie Kirk Prosecution Case Threatened by Potential Bodycam, Timeline Gaps
I Stand for Freedom ^ | 10/06/2025 | Noah Stanton

Posted on 10/06/2025 7:05:29 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

In criminal prosecution, like construction, the smallest crack in the foundation can bring down the entire structure. The case against Tyler Robinson, accused of assassinating conservative leader Charlie Kirk, appears solid from the outside – confession texts, a recovered weapon, witnesses by the thousands. But beneath this seemingly ironclad exterior, a troubling vulnerability has emerged that should concern every American who values justice.

Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was shot dead while speaking to 3,000 supporters at Utah Valley University on September 10. A single bullet to the neck silenced one of conservatism’s most influential young voices. Robinson, just 22, was arrested 33 hours later in his hometown of St. George, Utah, after allegedly returning to the crime scene and encountering police – an encounter that’s now raising serious questions.

The pressure on prosecutors couldn’t be higher. Utah Governor Spencer Cox has repeatedly pledged to seek the death penalty, and Kirk’s supporters nationwide are demanding swift justice. Robinson faces aggravated murder charges, the most serious in Utah’s criminal code. His defense team, now bolstered by California attorneys Michael Burt and Richard Novak, has already begun delaying tactics, pushing back hearings and signaling a prolonged legal battle ahead.

But here’s the kicker – the prosecution’s case starts showing cracks. According to prominent Utah defense attorney Skye Lazaro, the state’s timeline contains a glaring vulnerability that Robinson’s defense will ruthlessly exploit. The prosecution claims Robinson returned to the crime scene after the shooting, where he encountered a police officer at the perimeter. He allegedly told the officer he needed to retrieve something near a parking garage – the same area where authorities later found the murder weapon wrapped in a towel.

Yet prosecutors haven’t revealed when exactly this encounter occurred, and more troublingly, whether the officer’s bodycam was even activated. Are you kidding me? In 2025, we don’t have bodycam footage of this critical moment?

From ‘Fox News’:

“If it doesn’t line up in a way that makes sense, it could definitely be bad for them,” Lazaro told Fox News Digital. “A lot of times what you can get when you subpoena cellphone records are where messages were sent from.”

The problems compound from there. Those damning text messages where Robinson allegedly confessed to his partner? They lack timestamps – a detail that might seem minor but could prove crucial in court. Without timestamps, the defense can challenge when and where these messages were actually sent, potentially undermining the prosecution’s entire narrative. Let’s be crystal clear about what this means: Lazaro warns that Robinson’s team will “spend a lot of time” dissecting these technical details, likely bringing in their own forensic experts to challenge every piece of digital evidence. The defense will absolutely salivate over this gift-wrapped mistake.

This isn’t just about legal technicalities – it’s about justice for a conservative leader gunned down in broad daylight. If that officer failed to activate his bodycam during a critical encounter with the suspected assassin, it represents an inexcusable breach of basic police procedure. Here’s what keeps me up at night: In an era where every interaction is supposed to be documented, how does a post-assassination encounter go unrecorded?

The defense will paint this as either staggering incompetence or something more sinister. And given the pattern of violence against conservative speakers, can you blame people for wondering?

Look, I’ll say what everyone’s thinking: We cannot afford prosecutorial mediocrity here. The discovery process has only just begun, with prosecutors given a mere five days for initial disclosures. Meanwhile, Lazaro predicts the defense will drag proceedings out for up to a year before Robinson even faces a preliminary hearing.

That’s a year of fading memories, cooling passions, and mounting opportunities for the defense to exploit every weakness. This isn’t just another murder case – it’s an assassination of a political figure who challenged the establishment and inspired millions of young conservatives.

If technical fumbles and procedural failures allow Robinson to escape the full weight of justice, it won’t just be a failure of one prosecution team. It will send a chilling message that political violence can succeed if you just wait for the system to stumble over its own feet. Every conservative in America should be demanding answers. The prosecutors in Utah County had better understand what’s at stake. Charlie Kirk deserves better. America deserves better.

If Robinson walked up to an officer just making conversation, there would be no need for the officer to have his body cam running.

The more famous the person, the more conspiracy theories regarding his (alleged) death.

I don't understand why so many conservatives believe in conspiracy theories. Here are some of the things I believe

Agree...Geez....you have real time video and real time audio...

I still can't get over people saying he didn't jump off the roof with the gun...Well....he sure as hell did.

My only thing is...did his roomie know this was all going down beforehand....and the audio was a way of exonerating him or her or whatever "it" is.

He will be cut loose

And the left will rightfully see that as declaring open season on the right , no bag limit

Cuz,,,, the issue in never the issue, the issue is the lefts color revolution.

Hope I’m wrong.

But this seems like foreshadowing.

Of course Charlie Kirk was killed just not by that kid on the roof with a 30-06 mauser. We have 30-06 modified mauser. Half the hunters in the US do. That round punches through a steel plate, it does tremendous damage on the way through and basically exploded out the other side. A human vertebrae wouldn’t even slow it down.

The new videos that have surfaced show Charlie Kirk getting shot from behind likely with a small calibre rifle or hand gun and the neck wound is the exit wound. Much more plausible.

I don’t believe the official story nor do I think Tyler Robinson was the gunman.

--- "This is a completely stupid clickbait article of speculation."

Agreed. It is a relatively new site, registered as a domain 2024-10-03 through GoDaddy.

One of the few comments says:

More nonsense from the media. This is to get clicks. How does a message not have a time stamp. It is a computer program. It has a time stamp automatically. Even if the message was deleted, the message that was stored in the cloud has a time stamp.

For the fun of it, looking about a bit finds NO snail mail or location address for whoever Noah Stanton is, BUT....

Each page begs for donations to the site, which references real, verifiable news sites. This is a click bait site of opinions. looking for money.....

Massive evidence, but no bodycam footage of the killer returning to the scene. Defense attorney hogwash.

conspiracy theories
____________________________
That term was created by the CIA in the JFK killing to shame anyone who questioned the official narrative and we all know how well that case went. First you are labeled a conspiracy theorist, then the term morphs into being a purveyor of disinformation, misinformation, hate speech, bullying or harassment if you dare voice your own opinion on a matter opposed to the official narrative. Now, we are on a threshold where some governments, who will proudly call themselves “progressive,” flatly refuse to tolerate free speech from their citizens and silence them by slapping their keisters in jail. This is how it works.

NBD

Bodycam is not turned on for every interaction.

“So, do you believe that Kirk wasn’t really killed or that they’ve arrested the wrong person?”

I need to ask Alex Jones.

This is silly, the guy admitted he killed Charlie to his friends more than once.

At odds with this is that it was routine for BeijingBiden’s FBI to hide everything until the MSM managed to make everyone forget about it.

No more. Release info as it becomes available. If arseholes in the media or WWW want to “try” the case, go ahead. Their wailing is immaterial. Ignore them.

Why don’t you? He’s almost always right. Weird, but right.

Text messages indicating guilt.
Fingerprints on rifle belonging to his grandfather.
GPS data from cell phone.
etc.

The only thing in doubt is will he choose lethal injection or the firing squad. He is a “Dead Man Walking.”

“He’s almost always right. “

LOL!


Jones is not the first person to grift off conspiracy theories, but Infowars harnessed the power of the internet to do so on a massive scale — a model that’s been imitated by anti-vaccine advocates, COVID-19 deniers and champions of baseless claims that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election.

“You preach apocalypse and then you sell stuff that can help you in an apocalypse,” said Yunkang Yang, a communications professor at Texas A&M.

Those texts scream AI generated. No 22 year old kid talks like that. Its so scripted its pathetic.

It's seems scripted because it was. That text exchange was cooked up by Robinson and his tranny furry bf as cover for the bf. The bf needed an out because he knew what was going to happen. So they had a little script in their heads with the goal of providing that cover.

Secondly, it's also probable that the text exchange we saw was a summarized transcription, in order to retain some investigative control over the whole situation, as its all still being investigated.

I don't understand why so many conservatives believe in conspiracy theories.

Left, right, or center, theres always going to be people that need reality to be complicated and unknowable as opposed to some things being simple and messy, as they are 99.9% of the time.

It's much more believable for many folks that evil is an amorphous and cosmic force outside their control as opposed to an inward human force totally under their own control.

I think because conspiracy theories require more imagination than cold hard facts-which entails work in pursuit of the facts. A person spinning a conspiracy theory gains a (false) sense of gravitas and self-importance.
