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.

Sounds like a description of what happens to those conservatives who express the view that JFK was killed by Oswald, who acted alone. The official line on FR and throughout the Magasphere is that JFK was the victim of a plot orchestrated by the CIA and Oswald was not the killer--even though no one has ever been able to name the "real killer."
Have you watched all the videos online and listened to ballistic experts or are you just listening to what’s being reported on TV? This whole scenario does not make sense.
Im doubtful that a really smart 22 year old wouldn’t know the FBI was going to read those texts. Nobody is going to write up a confession if they are planning to get away.
You make a great point. Understand that this is the objective of professional assassin teams. Lots of diversions, decoys, misdirections, and chaos, while the real killer slinks away in the background to kill another day. Take the JFK killing and observe the other major assassinations and attempts since and you will see the pattern repeat itself. The killings are social engineering events to move society toward an agenda - not one the people desire but one that those who wield control and power desire. When I look at the political assassination of Kirk, I see the same pattern repeating itself. The theater producers of these events come out of the world intelligence communities and the facilitators are their cohorts in the MSM. The public is like a boat adrift and driven unwillingly in a direction produced by these social engineering clowns. Two things are currently of great concern to me and that are driven by these engineering clowns - the internal rising drumbeat of domestic civil war and the EU Ukraine/Russia war. You can see the tempo of each rising.
All the videos? No, but i have watched several videos suggesting what you claim occurred. Those theories have been thoroughly debunked by other videos I’ve watched. It’s clear that there was very large front to rear energy transfer from the shot which rules out him being hit from behind. There was massive expansion of his neck (and chest) due to temporary cavitation which was strong enough to break his necklace and send it flying to behind him which suggests he was not shot by handgun round. There was a very pronounced bulge that occurs on his back when he was shot which which may be related to temporary cavitation or possibly body armor stopping a bullet from exiting his back. There’s what looks like a bullet wipe mark that appears on the front of his shirt when he is shot suggesting he was shot from the front. The wound in his throat is not an exit wound. The bullet has been recovered inside his body. Audio analysis also supports a front to rear shot.
The ballistics are unusual but probably mostly unusual because we don’t know the details of the shooting yet. We don’t know what type of 30.06 round was used. Was it lower power than a hunting round? Exactly what bullet design and weight was it? Did it strike body armor on the way in and/or on the way out (body armor designed to stop most handgun rounds can be as thin as 3mm and body armor designed to stop 30.06 can be less than 5mm thick)? Did the bullet fragment after striking him (reports are saying it did)? It’s possible he could have been shot by someone else with a high powered rifle from the front, but there’s no evidence he was shot by someone else. Then there are the truly crackpot theories which claim a bullet is seen on video, low frame rate video with the bullet impossibly appearing as a discrete object rather than a very long streak or the exploding microphone theory also impossible due to the laws of physics. Most of the conspiraciy theories (actually all of the conspiracy theories i’ve seen) are downright silly.
One correction to my previous post. There isn’t armor that thin that can stop 30-06. My source was bad on that.
#1 there was not a large energy transfer front to back. We have a 30-06 rifle similar to the one pictured by the FBI. It would blow you right back out of the chair and the blood and tissue splatter from the exit wound would be all over the place. Sorry to be gruesome but you need to understand that round.
#2 it has been definitively stated by all concerned that Charlie Kirk was not wearing body armor.
#3 you are right about the laws of physics. Based on the leaked account of the official autopsy report middle school math debunks the official explanation of the shooter on the roof. Its simply not possible.
#4 what does jive almost perfectly with the leaked autopsy report is a shot from behind and slightly above Charlie Kirk by a smaller caliber weapon.
If this ever gets to court Tyler Robinson’s legal team is going to bring in forensic experts who will shred this 30-06 theory beyond a reasonable doubt. All you really have to do is show the jury a couple of YouTube videos of Hickock 45 shooting 5 gallon buckets of solid ice with a 30-06 or the guy from Valhalla shooting the neck bones of a steer and then try to imagine poor Charlie Kirk’s spinal column.
This was a professional hit with a smaller caliber rifle or handgun. Maybe Tyler Robinson was used as a distraction.
#1. It’s obvious from the videos that the energy transfer is front to back. MLK, Jr was shot with a 30-06 which produced no exit wound. Too much is unknown (or at least unreleased to the public) to say what happened with Charlie Kirk couldn’t have happened with a 30-06 round. As I said before you don’t even know the bullet design or how hot the round was. I’ve been shooting guns for 50 years, handguns and rifles. I owned many before they were lost in the tragic boating accident so common with FR members. I know guns.
#2. All concerned have not stated he wasn’t wearing body armor. If someone told you that, they’re lying to you. Whether he was wearing body armor or not is disputed.
#3. You don’t know if what was leaked about the autopsy is even accurate. A fragmenting bullet could have caused the damage without defying the laws of physics.
#4 Except there’s no entry wound and the bullet was recovered inside his body. If you’re going to say the autopsy report lied about that then you need to explain why they didn’t just lie about the the bullet design and say he was hit with a frangible 30-06 round designed to limit penetration.
As i said before there’s way too much temporary cavitation for him to have been shot with a handgun. You can see it happen in the videos. Gary Melton from Paramount Tactical is going to be doing extensive testing to see what many different 30-06 rounds under varying circumstances can do. He’s even going to be testing ammo from the early 1960’s to see how age of ammo might affect results. I suggest you watch the Paramount Tactical livestreams. There are experts there discussing the shooting, and Gary Melton (the main Paramount Tacticsl guy) is not afraid to have guests on his streams who disagree with him. That’s just about the only youtube channel i’ve found that’s interested in finding the truth instead of promulgating crackpot theories for clicks.
You assume too many things there is no evidence for. My guess is that you’re getting your information from sketchy youtube channels that state things as fact that are nowhere near fact or are even outright lies. Even some youtubers who i have respected in the past are making nonsensical assumptions, blatantly nonsensical assumptions.
Reminds me a little of the guy that killed those college kids in Idaho. For more than a year, his lawyers talked about how weak the case was. Then BOOM. A guilty plea to avoid the death penalty.
“No fooling. You think a 22 year old kid is content to wait a year in jail for a preliminary hearing for a death penalty crime he didn’t commit? He’d be demanding his right to a speedy trial from the moment they arrested him.”
You’re probably right about that. It’s going to be interesting to see how this all plays out.
