State of Utah Faces Uphill Battle in High-Stakes Charlie Kirk Assassination Trial
Republished with permission from AbleChild.
Earlier this week, Ablechild introduced the unbelievably qualified defense team hired by the State of Utah public defenders commission to represent Tyler James Robinson for the assassination of Turning Point USA founder, Charlie Kirk. The State of Utah has an enormous burden to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Robinson is guilty of Capital murder and to say that its prosecution team faces an uphill battle is an understatement.
Utah County Attorney, Jeffrey S. Gray filed the Death Penalty on the 16th of September and appears to have his Deputy County Attorneys taking the lead on the case and, specifically, Chad E. Grunander looks to be steering this ship into very troubled water.
According to County Attorney Gray, the death penalty was brought based on “available evidence and circumstances.” Seriously? On the 16th of September there was apparently little to no physical evidence made public that even connected Robinson to the crime. But between the 16th and today’s date, the prosecution has advised the court that it has “substantial and voluminous” evidence. Hmmm… Let’s review what’s known.
To date, the public has not been made aware of any clear photographic evidence to reveal Robinson carrying a rifle into the venue, nor up any stairwells, nor onto any roof tops. There is no clear photographic evidence that shows the alleged shooter arriving at the school in his “gray Charger.”
There is no physical evidence that has been made public that reveals that the projectile that was removed from Charlie Kirk’s body matches the barrel of the alleged weapon. The only evidence that has been made public about the alleged weapon is that the alleged assassin’s DNA is found on it. So what? The alleged assassin’s DNA should be on the weapon. Who else’s DNA would be on a gun owned by the alleged assassin? In other words, just because the alleged assassin’s DNA was found on the weapon does not mean he fire the weapon, killing Charlie Kirk.
Much ado has been made of the extremely bizarre “text message” allegedly sent by Robinson to his fury partner, Lance Twiggs, while Robinson waited to retrieve the rifle from the woods. In a nutshell, the defense should have no problem tearing that “evidence” to shreds. One statement made in the “text message” explains to Twiggs “I haven’t seen anything about them finding it.” Robinson is referring to the gun while waiting to retrieve it. Then Robinson writes in the “text message” “the feds released a photo of the rifle.” No. The feds did not release a photo of the riffle while Robinson was allegedly texting.
More importantly, whoever put the ridiculous “text message” together got the sequence of events out of order when Robinson reportedly writes, “my dad wants photos of the rifle…he says grandpa wants to know who has what, the feds released a photo of the rifle.” The release of the photo of the rifle did not occur while Robinson was allegedly sitting in his car texting his partner. According to statements made to the police by Robinson’s parents, Robinson’s father did not contact his son until the following day when the alleged shooter’s photograph was made public. “Robinson’s father contacted his son and asked him to send a photo of the rifle.” Unless the alleged shooter is clairvoyant and can see into the future, this information is false and the “text message” confession is insultingly fake. Accuracy matters.
But, just for the fun of it, let’s assume that the available physical evidence does incriminate Robinson. What then? Will the prosecution do everything in its power to quash any mental health data that may be used in Robinson’s defense?
Recall that there is a distinct connection between Robinson’s roommate and the behavioral health system in Utah. In fact, it is interesting to note that Utah holds the dubious distinction of having the highest levels of mental illness in the nation. And Governor Spencer Cox, who has been suspiciously vocal during the Kirk investigation, has overseen a 1,200% increase in behavioral health funding between 2021 to 2024 and intends to expand that number to cover the homeless in Utah. Those increases are inline nationally and show that the more money that is thrown at mental health, the worse the health gets. People aren’t getting better… they are just getting more drugged, and Cox is one Governor who is all in.
Clearly, one assumes, Robinson’s defense is going to raise many issues regarding Robinson’s mother’s connection to Utah’s lucrative behavioral health industry and how that may have affected Robinson’s trans roommate and the trans roommate’s influence over Robinson.
Yes, to quote the infamous British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, this is “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” The prosecution, based on evidence that has been made public, has its hands full and state behavioral health systems may play a crucial role.

He confessed to his family…Does this not count?!?…
It’s called a patsy.
EXACTLY!! I smell cover-up! The official narrative stinks on ice!!
Correction to the article that states Robinson’s DNA was found on the rifle:
multiple reports state DNA was found on the towel wrapped around the rifle, also on a screw driver, allegedly, found on the roof. NOT THE RIFLE ITSELF!! How is this possible if Robinson physically fired the rifle??
Was the rifle “found” in the nearby woods a “plant”??
No autopsy was done. None!! The attending physician at the hospital signed the Death Certificate, not the the Medical Examiner!!
.30-06 is a high powered combat and hunting round which travels at 3,000 ft/sec. After hitting Kirk’s neck, the round would leave a gaping exit wound, not lodge in his neck.
An autopsy would expose this BS version. Is that why none was done??
A bullet lodging in a neck would be small caliber (.22, .25, .32) fired at close range from possibly 15-20 ft.
Witnesses attest to two men in front of Kirk’s podium appear to give hand signals moments before the shot.
No video or witnesses to:
A muzzle flash from the rifle.
Alleged shooter carrying the rifle on the roof.
Dropping it before climbing down.
No sniper bipod or range sand bags used to steady rifle for the 425 ft+ shot.
Robinson was an amateur with firearms, not a pro.
Rifle could not be broken down to fit into a back pack.
Within an hour after the shooting, the Utah RINO Governor and FBI Special Agent In Charge, for Utah, BOTH STATED THE SHOOTER ACTED ALONE!! How could they know this?
The shooter’s I.D. was not even known at that time!!
And there are reports that a private plane, at a local airport, and officials admitted they had no i.d. on it. They verified it did not have an FAA flight plan filed, as required by federal law, and was allowed to take off within an hour after the shooting and the TRANSPONDER WAS VERIFIED TO NOT BE ACTIVATED!!
I do not believe this was just a random shooting by a disgruntled leftist trans activist.
What is the FBI covering up???
No. It’s hearsay
A lot of NUTS on here. He did it. He’ll be executed. Done.
sure William, there is plenty of evidence it was not a trans on the roof but someone up close, look up rense.com as one person of interst, the brown shirt guy.
Bingo!! Everything is there !!
Open and shut case. Dumb article
Actually it’s not hearsay. His admission to his parents and his boyfriend is what’s called called an excited utterance and it is an exception to the hearsay rule. It can be used by the prosecutor.
He is a PATSY, not the shooter.
Statement against interest – not excited utterance, which might be if he rushed home and said “Mom! Dad! Guess what I just did with Grandpa’s gun?”
Sorry, nope, it depends on how you’re using it. It’s hearsay if you’re using the statement to prove that he did the shooting. But it’s admissible if you’re using the statement to prove that he said those words. It also falls under the exception to the hearsay rules generally referred to as “statement against interests”.
The family is said to be denying that. Show me one video or audio clip of a family member stating that he confessed? Not one person has came forward from the family to publicly confirm this. We only have the feds word for it. The same fed that fabricated that ridiculous text message chain. The same fed that told you that the Hunter Biden lap top didn’t exist, the same fed that told you that there were no agents in the crowd on J 6, the same fed that is now telling us that J Epstein never trafficked any children for sex. Also the kid has pled NOT guilty to the charges. Why would you confess guilt to your family, turn yourself in, and then plead Not guilty?
Ballistics report and required autopsy was not completed. A decent defense attorney can show the shot did not come from where Kash Patel and Utah Guvna says it did. Crime scene was not secured.
He apparently confessed to his “roommate” as well.
And what’s this “infamous” Winston Churchill thing about? Who is calling him infamous and based on what?
Unfortunately any good lawyer will poke enough holes in their official story that there will be plenty of reasonable doubt. Especially when they bring in ballistics and audio experts.
won’t be very hard to do since he is a patsy and not the actual shooter.
This never made any sense. It is a provocation for civil war in America.
I wrote the following song lyrics during the recent LA riot ICE weekend. It still rings true…

What a pile of rubbish. Of course, he’s going to be found guilty of first degree murder. He’ll fry for it, too.
and if he is that is not the right person…b/c it was an inside job.
Looks like Kirk was shot from behind and not front shot ..that alone crushes him being guilty
Maybe guilty with accomplices
Jim
Nobody is buying the official story that it was a trans shooter. It was an inside job and anyone paying attention the last 20 years knows that much.
He was killed with shellfish poison with a device that was on his shirt disguised as a mic. Go look at the footage in slow motion.
They killed JFK the same way. A shot of poison to the neck.
If you watch the JFK footage you can see that his wife did it. Watch her in a loop and you will see it. Watch her face and body movement. It’s very clear.
I never trusted her.
It sure was an inside job.
Is this article a joke? It better be…..
Enormous burden of proof? It seems like a slam dunk to me. This will end up being pled out The death penalty is on the table and this weasel doesn’t want to be shit. He was terrified that the police might shoot him if he tried to turn himself in. Oregon has the firing squad. So I doubt he has the fortitude to face a firing squad for his beliefs. None of these lefties do. This case will be dragged out through continuous adjournments by the defence until it becomes last week’s news and then a plea deal for life without parole will be negotiated and he can become the prison queen for the rest of his life.
The investigation is ongoing.
If it was an inside job the people responsible will go to jail. There’s still rot in the agency.
There’s another theory that these people are being weaponized through gaming and colleges and directed to this website affinity org. where they connect with the resources and plans and people they need to pull something like this off.
It’s very suspicious but I know Kash and Dan will get to the truth.
Indeed. Kash and Dan. Good men.
There’s no evidence of Kash Patel and Dan Bongino doing anything. I don’t even know if they are really in Charge. They destroyed their credibility with the Epstein case. They can’t even tell us who planted the January 6th pipe bombs, even though we know they know who it was. There’s absolutely no reason to trust either one of them at this point.
So he just took credit for killing someone in a death penalty case. Not everything is a conspiracy.
Peter, its a MK Ultra victim or a form of it. You must be new to paying attention.
If you think its a slam dunk you are barely paying attention.
Opinions are not facts. Welcome to reality.
oh ok, as if the deep state is ever held accountable…they will pin it on the patsy or we will never know the truth. “If it was an inside job the people responsible will go to jail.” Laughable statement you made.

What a load of hooey this article is.
Let me get this straight. You said that not much had been released as to the evidence the state has but they have since said they have “voluminous” evidence. You then proceed to question them based on what is known that you already said was very little. So am I to take you serious?
JFK all over again
This was obviously another Deep State/Mossad/CIA assassination. They have a patsy and their case will fall apart as a result. Audio evidence, massive amounts of video evidence, etc. point to some other mode of assassination than this clown. Stop covering for Israel and the Deep State and DO THE RIGHT THING for a change. This isn’t 1963.
What are you smoking?
This is one of the most idiotic articles ever to appear on TGP. Just sayin’.
Not sure I get the point here . . . is Ablechild suggesting the charges be dropped? So you charge the likely suspect, continue your investigation (not publicly disclosing all your work product) and prosecute. If it turns out Robinson has a defense based on mental capacity – well, that’s a societal problem, not this prosecution’s problem really.
Likely to get a bunch of clicks, tho – he got mine; how about you?

Help me understand.
Pics of a suspect taken from UVU surveillance video(s) were viewed by family in SW Utah.
They ID’d their family member who turned himself into LE in SW Washington Co., UT.
Suspect’s defenders state that the suspect claims that he was not there and never set foot on UVU campus.
Corroborating fast-food restaurant video shows him at their restaurant approx 7 miles from the crime scene.
If the patsy was never there how do we indict, arrest, try and convict two criminal,
1st degree murder, false claimers?
If a grandfather in SW UT saw a pics of his grandson allegedly taken near Orem, UT, and he asked his son in SW UT to send him a pic of a gun he had leant to him, would the presentation of the grandfather’s gun found adjacent to the kill shot at UVU lend any credence to the alleged patsy’s claim that he was never there? …Beyond a reasonable doubt?
Let us all remember: Guns do not kill people. People kill people.
Let us all stop lying to each other and ourselves. Lying leads to mental health issues, but mental health is not on trial here: a murderer is.
It’s ok if the courts don’t find him guilty. It might even be preferred for that to happen. This guy ended his own life when he took someone els’es.

So sick of these armchair judges…come to think of it, am sick of the so called actual judges too. This idiot did it. HE admitted to it, there’s mountains of evidence, there’s social media evidence, there is video evidence and every other day there is a story saying the defense is doomed, then the next the prosecution is. He did this, people saw him up there, they’ve got the evidence, but at the end of the day, if they put nothing but idiot dems on the jury, he could walk.

Ablechild should have the defendant plead guilty if he admits to them that he committed the crime, and all the evidence seems to point to that. Trying to get him off on a technicality isn’t justice. From this article, it seems that is what Ablechild intends to do. I would never donate to an organization like that. Seems like they are only trying to get a name for themselves and get funding from people sympathetic to their cause, which isn’t justice.
This sock puppet was set up. I’m surprised he has lived this long and didn’t get the Oswald treatment. Anyone who believes this government BS needs to wake up. When he gets a real lawyer the truth might be told until then it’s a dog and pony show of the lawless regime hat runs this nation
Utah does not have the actual perp. If he lives long enough to stand trial, that will become evident. If he commits “suicide” or is killed, it will become a JFK mystery, never to be solved.
