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.

Conspiracy theories are usually a lot more titillating than the truth.

Just ask Alex Jones.

Can’t we just wait for the trial? Nope! We want it all, and we want it now!

I’m not buying that. The evidence against Tyler Robinson is overwhelming.

That and the Party of Death, Destruction and Assassins have placed their assassins, especially the successful ones, above the law. You can’t put RAT assassins in prison or give them the death penalty. The RAT Part of Death counts on them to take care of its opponents.

The wheels on our system of justice turn slowly, but they do turn. Everything else is just noise.

This is a completely stupid clickbait article of speculation.

Those texts scream AI generated. No 22 year old kid talks like that. Its so scripted its pathetic. I’m sure a smart high grade point student would knowingly incriminate himself by texting out a full confession for the cops to read later. Not. 🙄

The case for this kid being the shooter is getting weaker every day as experts online take it apart piece by piece. Ill be curious as to how long the FBLie is going to be able to float this story.

Noah Stanton seems to think the prosecution should share every detail of the investigation with him before the trial. That’s just not how it works.

They lack timestamps

So, although every text message I ever sent or received has a time and date on it, these have none? The author has access to the original source ? Even the carrier does not have a record?

On the body cam, the cop's testimony is not sufficient?

GOD knows the truth and he and those involved will NEVER be able to escape true justice in the end.

Much as I’d like to see some now, I’m going to have to wait for the final judgment. And that’s when ALL involved will be held accountable for his murder, not just the shooter.

Process beginning with scribbled gibberish like this piece.

The author is probably just another goof who assumed that because the timing wasn’t included in the charging document that the time stamp doesn’t exist.

The left is preparing its drones to start a campaign to free Tyler.

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

Speaking of evidence, there were no eye witnesses.
Thus, link the ballistics of the bullet fired to the rifle recovered. Link the rifle recovered to the suspect via DNA. Anything else is just smoke and mirrors.

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