Major Update Before Robinson’s Key Hearing; Kirk Family Will Attend

Robinson, from southwestern Utah, allegedly planned the attack for just over a week.

Prosecutors say he positioned himself on or near a rooftop, fired the fatal shot with a Mauser bolt-action rifle, and fled.

He later turned himself in at the urging of his own father, a law enforcement veteran.

Evidence includes DNA consistent with Robinson’s found on the rifle’s trigger, fired casing, unfired cartridges, and a towel used to wrap the weapon.

Forensic links, surveillance, witness statements, and autopsy results are all expected this week.

Most chilling are the alleged confessions.

Court documents describe a note left for his then-romantic partner, Lance Twiggs: “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I’m going to take it.”

In texts, Robinson reportedly admitted the act, telling Twiggs he had “enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.”
