Prosecutors Claim Tyler Robinson Made Eleven Written Confessions Ahead of Bind-Over Hearing
Prosecutors have filed a 28-page memorandum asserting that Tyler Robinson confessed in writing eleven times, bolstering their case before a September 1 hearing on whether he will be bound over for trial.
In a comprehensive 28-page brief, prosecutors from the Utah County Attorney's Office contend that the case against Tyler Robinson is clear-cut, citing eleven separate written statements in which he admits firing a rifle belonging to his grandfather at Charlie Kirk. The filing also notes verbal confessions to his parents and to Lance Twiggs, bringing the known total of admissions to at least thirteen. Forensic findings such as Robinson's DNA on the weapon, a towel, a screwdriver and cartridge casings, as well as engraved bullets found at his residence, reinforce the prosecution's narrative.
The document urges Judge Tony Graf to find probable cause and bind Robinson over for trial. Robinson’s defense team has until early September to file a rebuttal, after which oral arguments will be presented on September 1, with a trial date likely set for the following year.
Why it matters
The case could lead to a high-profile trial that tests forensic and confession evidence in Utah courts.
