Who Killed Charlie Kirk?

1. During testimony, we are told that within minutes of the event, a Utah Valley University Police Officer was told there was a suspect in custody; it was only after that person was cleared that he resumed his search for others. Within 36 hours of this happening, Tyler Robinson turned himself in, and from then on the focus was on him to the exclusion of all others. He has never officially confessed. There was a public rush to judgment, and even the Governor of Utah publicly stated he wanted the death penalty. It was too clean, too simple, and the person who was in custody was too unlikeable. It made it easy.
2. It was said that Charlie was shot with a 30.06 bolt action rifle by someone on a rooftop who had a direct line of sight.A. No security for that rooftop even though there were death threats?
3. Charlie sat under a canopy with a valance hanging down. The shot angle is obscured.
4. There were videos of the impact that didn’t match the claim. A 30.06 soft-point bullet would be traveling at around 2,500 feet per second and would deliver about the same foot-pounds of pressure. There was no exit wound out the back of his neck, no splatter on the white canvas behind the victim.
5. There are large numbers of hunters who claim to have shot deer in the neck, but their bullet didn’t exit. I want to point out that the neck of a deer, shot from the side, is much different from a human neck shot from the front, starting with the thickness of the skin. Ballistic experts have suggested that it would be very rare for that bullet to have impacted his vertebrae and not created an exit wound. Human neck bones are fragile, unlike those of goats and especially deer, which are designed to support heavy antlers and engage in head-butting and wrestling during mating seasons.
6. It was said that the bullet was deflected, yawed, and fragmented. This indicates that the bullet was a hollow point or a soft point with the tip filed flat, which seems supported by the evidence presented in the hearing (photos of the bullets). That type of bullet would expand immediately upon penetration and, within three inches, create a massive wound stretch. As you read this, remember that the human neck is about five inches x five inches, meaning that this wound stretch would happen within that dimension. I quote from White Mountain Forensics, “Because the .30-06 is a high-velocity rifle cartridge (moving at roughly 2,800 to 2,900 feet per second), it generates massive kinetic energy. As this energy transfers into fluid-filled tissue, it violently displaces the muscle and organs outward, creating a large, temporary pocket. This temporary cavity can reach up to 5 to 7 inches in diameter before collapsing back, destroying surrounding tissue, blood vessels, and nerves even beyond the bullet’s direct path.”  No such degree of neck cavity or expansion was observed in any video. It is not possible for the bullet shown in testimony to enter a human neck and cause that kind of damage without a far greater degree of evidence. In addition, that amount of force would propel him backward, yet he fell onto his left side.  https://whitemountainforensic.com/wound-ballistics-motion-effects-projectiles-human-body/

8. Within minutes, the security team was dismantling the crime scene and seizing evidence. They are not law enforcement; they destroyed evidence and prevented a proper investigation.
9. Within days, the entire crime scene was demolished, including the removal of 10 inches of soil.
10. There was a grainy video of someone running across the roof, clambering over the side of the building, and dropping 12 feet to the ground. That image did not contain a 42” rifle that weighs 8 pounds. He is carrying some kind of floppy bag or other flexible elements in his hand and doesn’t drop it upon impact with the ground. Depending on the specifics of contact, that eight-pound rifle effectively weighed between 30 and 96 pounds as he tried to hold onto it after a 12-foot drop. This isn’t perfect physics, because his legs would absorb part of the impact, but you get the point. This is like thinking you can restrain a child during an accident by holding out your arm. Impact energy for an 8 lb. object falling 12 feet is calculated as:
    {Impact Energy} = {Weight} times{Height} = 8 \{ lbs.} times 12{ ft} = 96 { ft-lbs.}
11. Much is made of Tyler Robinson’s confessions. I would like to point out that approximately 25% to 30% of wrongful convictions involve individuals who falsely confessed or admitted to crimes they didn’t commit. According to data from the Innocence Project and the National Registry of Exonerations, these false admissions are particularly prevalent in serious cases, such as homicides, where false confession rates can exceed 60% among wrongfully convicted individuals. Law enforcement would know that and not jump to conclusions. Again, this was far too easily accepted. I think we can pin that to the political and social pressure they were under to close the case and find someone guilty.
12. Any decent special ops team can send text messages that appear to come from a cell phone; it is called SMS spoofing and is a common tactic. They use spoofing software or VoIP (Voice over IP) apps to deliberately falsify the sender ID, making their messages appear to come from your number.
13. There was a rifle found in the nearby woods that contained an empty cartridge in the chamber. From what I understand, the police searched that area with dogs but did not find it until the Utah State Bureau of Investigation pointed it out. That is extremely inconsistent with what I know about dogs. If that weapon had been fired recently, a dog would almost certainly have smelled it, as it was very close to the footpath. The police said the dog didn’t find it because it was wrapped in a towel. This is extremely inconsistent. The dogs were tracking Robinson; after following his scent in the track, they would have picked up his scent on the towel.
14. They found all kinds of DNA evidence, texts, and grainy videos, but none of these big questions have answers. The defense complained that the DNA “evidence” was inconclusive and that the FBI’s testing was flawed. This is not unusual, although judges usually allow it, and the defense can attack its weight or credibility in the argument. Much of the testimony involved inconclusive statements and conjecture. I am an author who designs and describes plots like this. I reverse-engineered the crime scene outcome and created a plausible assassination plot that answers all these questions. Others have done the same thing, and the results are amazingly similar. If we could do that, be sure a dark ops team could. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but given all the conflicting issues in this case, we look for possible paths that could have led to the outcome we’ve seen.
15. One of the most bizarre aspects of this situation is that a legion of social media pundits has immediately declared Robinson guilty based on “Overwhelming and condemning” evidence. I’ve looked at and listened to it, and used GenAI to search for specific points of interest and to prove or disprove some of the social media comments. Many other people and I don’t see anything there that is close to damning. I haven’t even seen or heard anything that is actual evidence. Most of it is easily countered hearsay, conjecture, and speculation. What we do see is a growing mass of contradiction and mystery. This is a hearing, not a trial. It is supposed to present enough reasons to show that a trial is warranted. I think they are doing that, but so far I haven’t seen anything that would CLEARLY prevail in a trial, and there are several glaring questions. Remember, in a trial the defense gets to fight back, and they have been given a lot to do that with.
16. Why did they destroy the scene five days after the event, on a Sunday no less? According to the man who was called to help the University, it wasn’t planned, and they had no idea how to do it.
17. According to testimony, the Kirk security team was on the phone with Ben Shapiro’s security team while en route to the hospital. What’s that about?
18. The police officer who was conducting the investigation lost power to his camera. Officer Bagley testified that, “I think my battery died. I don’t know.” This is shockingly incompetent and begs the question why he didn’t replace it, charge it, or have someone else come to record the investigation. Because the battery died, there is no official police body camera footage of the initial rooftop search. I can’t imagine, given the situation, how there were not multiple people recording that crime scene.
19. There is video footage of a car we are told belonged to Tyler Robinson, yet the images of that car don’t match the details of his.
20. There is testimony that Robinson was seen in the parking garage, but the video images are so poor that it is impossible to accurately identify him other than to suggest that the clothes and images generally look like him. Remember, in a trial the defense is going to sow seeds of doubt; that’s their job. One of the key witnesses, if you can call him that, is a seriously confused young man with an emotional connection in the matter. I struggle to see how he isn’t compromised under cross-examination.
21. There was another bullet found on a different roof. When asked about that, the investigator stated that it was from the rifle of a police officer, left when it was ejected. This begs so many questions that it is hard to pass by. How does an officer eject a bullet and not pick it up? Why eject the bullet? Why was that officer on the roof?
22. The videos we are shown of the suspect in the garage stairway do not contain a rifle. Further, the suspect limps, then doesn’t, then seems to limp again on a different leg.
23. Supposedly, there is some kind of surveillance imagery of Robinson on the roof “pulling the trigger.” We are told that there was a “sniper pad” there, with depressions indicating that he set up for the shot. If so, they would have to present those images to the defense. If they have that security footage, why were there no security people surveilling that roof? This would have been standard procedure.
24. The only clear image of Robinson is after the crime, eating ice cream. That seems very odd.
25. We are told that he confessed to the police when he turned himself in. It will be interesting to see what the defense does with that. Let’s all remember that 60% of wrongful convictions involve confessions. I am not sure what happened, but to suggest that this guy is unstable is not out of the realm of reality. I have other thoughts on this but choose not to explore those at this time.
26. During testimony, there were many questions to the investigator from the defense that were answered with, “I don’t know, that’s what I was told, and I don’t remember.”

There are so many odd circumstances involved in this crime that it makes it very difficult for people to accept the narrative being offered. We may never know what happened and to what degree Tyler Robinson participated.

This isn’t about conspiracy theories; it’s about contradictory evidence that hasn’t been answered. All you’ve seen so far is what they want you to see, and I haven’t seen any of it that could not have been fabricated… so? Let’s get some answers to those nagging questions that raised our alarms to begin with, and a parade of witnesses who are manipulated by testimony won’t do it. I can tell you that most of the people commenting have NO IDEA how it works in court. A hearing is NOT a trial. People need to keep that in mind; a hearing only needs to convince a judge that a trial should be held; that only requires a low bar of evidence. A trial is about PROVING someone is guilty BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. I have nine reasonable doubts that remain unanswered. Was he there? Did he participate? Perhaps. Is he a nutjob? Almost certainly. Was there someone else involved? Evidence is strong. Are they asking the right questions? Oh Hell NO. All they are trying to do is find this guy guilty, and people need to understand that. Too much of this ISN’T about getting to the truth; it’s about building a case against one guy.
