The question: Is Tyler Robinson guilty seems to be the hottest debate of our time. In my initial analysis of the Charlie Kirk murder, I stated my doubts, based on my experience and analysis of the crime scene. This is an ongoing process of analyzing evidence, asking questions, and looking for answers. Sometimes a comment will be made that gets challenged, and upon further review, revisions are made. That is how these kinds of events are processed so that we can make sense of them. I summarized those conflicts in 25 points of confusion that I struggled to understand. I want to repeat something I’ve said over and over: I do not claim to know who did it, and I’m not interested in those speculations. I do two things: I analyze evidence and testimony to see if I can reconcile them with what we are told happened; then, if those don’t line up, I try to take the outcome and back into some scenario that COULD result in that outcome. That is what I do as an author: I create a list of facts, then follow with Presumptions, then Questions, and finally a Premise. This is a proven formula for creating a plot, and if done deliberately, that method will result in a better understanding of what is possible.
This is a very confounding situation, and I have to admit that given the unlikelihood that what we are being told is true, I am forced to go outside the arena of comfort to arrive at some reasonable answer to that eventual question: Who killed Charlie Kirk, and why does the official narrative not make sense? As I have offered my thoughts on this matter, two things have happened. First, I’ve been asked what my background is and where my perspective comes from. This blog post will shed some light on that.
The other thing that has leaped into these conversations is the large numbers of suspicious replies and comments to the many social media posts on this subject. In that same article, I talk about one of the huge issues with social media: the way it is being used by nefarious actors to influence public opinion. The Soviet Union propaganda machine was amateurish compared to the campaigns we see pushed at us today.
This raises another disturbing question. Who is behind the manipulation of this situation, and why are there so many public figures lining up in support of the effort to convict this young man in public opinion before he even goes to trial? Given what we heard at the hearing, all the inconclusive testimony, and the absurdity of what is presented as evidence, why did even the Vice President of the United States, who has a Doctorate degree in law, publicly state that the evidence shows Robinson killed Charlie Kirk? Why would he feel the need to even comment on this matter?
Added Questions After the Hearing
Upon examination, every person who testified at the hearing stated that the details of the investigation or forensics were inconclusive or that they could not identify the suspect in any relevant photo or video. Further, the police officer stated that he could not see a rifle in any image of the suspect coming to the roof, on the roof, or leaving the roof.
When asked what made the investigating officer believe that the person in the images was Tyler Robinson, he stated that the person seemed to be wearing the same shoes. When asked by the judge, it was admitted that there was no video or image that could identify Tyler Robinson in the act.
Kim Iverson Recaps the Hearing
The Ballistic expert stated that her investigation was inconclusive.
The DNA report was inconclusive.
After the event, the police have no video image of the roof because the officer’s camera battery died.
There was another bullet found on a different roof. The officer stated that it had come from another officer who ejected it from his gun and left it there.
K9 tracking dogs did not locate a weapon or towel that was supposedly in the close body possession of the suspect for at least 20 minutes, including the accusation that it was in his pants.
When specifically asked, the officer admitted that he did not see a gun in the suspect’s hands as he left the rooftop, despite jumping/climbing down from 12 feet above the ground.
He was shown on video at the top of the exterior staircase at 12:15:30. Interesting that in the video I was watching from the hearing, there is a jump in the timestamp from 12:16:00 to 12:17:04. At 12:22:15, he was running to the edge, so there is about seven minutes of time during which he could have assembled a rifle. At 12:22:31, he had begun crawling after a short dash across the roof. By the time it was 12:22:58, he was prone, and the shot was taken at 12:23:28. So, he didn’t crawl 140 feet; he only seemed to crawl about 20 or 30 feet. The photos are grainy and indistinct, so it is difficult to make out details. I will have to adjust my paper to reflect this information. There are still some interesting questions about the screwdriver and why someone would choose to climb down the side of the building rather than go out the way he came in, down the staircase. That would seem much safer, and my mind asks why he wouldn’t park closer, get into his car, and leave. Why hide a rifle in the woods? One minute and nine seconds in a supported position, so there appears to be time to assemble a rifle on the roof, but how does someone get those two pieces out of their pants? What kept it there while they were supposedly walking upstairs? Although he limped, both knees were bent at different times, indicating that the limp may have been from an ankle. Were both pieces in the leg of his skinny jeans? Duct taped? Ouch!
One of the videos that came from a Ring camera in the neighborhood includes the owner’s testimony that the car (submitted in the hearing to be Robinson’s) was driven by a bald-headed man and contained three other people.
The area of the crime was rushed to demolition. Even the police said they were unaware of it and only heard about it on the news. Communications between the maintenance crew indicated that they intended to clean it, but someone
So, in addition to the original 25 points of conflict, we add these, and the total to date comes up to 35, although I’m certain I could come up with more.
I will leave you with one thought, then I will set this aside until the trial. In the United States, we are presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty beyond reasonable doubt by a jury. I am ashamed at the number of people who appear to be determined to proclaim this young man guilty before he has an opportunity to mount a defense. I will speak to that matter in this video:
