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.
