Lawyer Claims Kirk Case Suspect’s Memo is “Just a Confession”
New court documents in Provo, Utah, have unveiled evidence related to the attempted murder of Charlie Kirk, including DNA, fingerprints, and disturbing confession notes from the alleged assailant, Tyler Robinson. Before the attack, Robinson wrote a letter to his partner, which adds substantial weight to the prosecution’s case against him. Furthermore, there will also be a mention of the CEO of Fireworks, who is implicated in the murder of undocumented immigrants.
The judge overseeing the case released a ballistics report from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. This report didn’t definitively link bullet fragments to the suspected firearm, although it did confirm a match with a spent shell casing.
Prosecutors assert that DNA tests have connected Robinson to the gun, a towel, and three bullets recovered from the scene. While some of the findings had been revealed in prior court sessions, the new document includes additional insights.
Among the examined materials was a “damaged” section of a bullet jacket along with four lead fragments.
The document was partially included in a sealed defense motion filed on January 9, aimed at preventing further governmental inquiries until defense experts could assess the evidence.
Judge Tony Graf determined that there was no justification for classifying the filing since it lacked private or inflammatory details.
An appendix to the ATF report explained that an “inconclusive” finding indicates that there are insufficient individual characteristics to either identify or rule out a match.
According to sources familiar with the case, the ATF was unable to connect the bullets to the rifle because they struck bones in Kirk’s body, breaking upon impact. Experts point out that this situation is not uncommon.
Jason Pack, a former FBI supervisor, emphasized that the findings should not be seen as a win for the defense. He noted that the inconclusive results pertain strictly to debris, not the shell casings or rifles found nearby.
“The defense is merely carrying out its responsibility by safeguarding its client’s right to challenge evidence,” Pack commented, suggesting this doesn’t imply a weak case from the prosecution’s side.
The ATF also examined a .30-06 casing that was confirmed to have been fired from Robinson’s Mauser rifle.
Pack advised caution when forming opinions based on pretrial motions, stressing that we are still far from trial. The reality is, based on one fragment, it’s premature to draw any profound conclusions.
Robinson allegedly shot Kirk at a Turning Point USA event in September 2025. Reports indicate that he positioned himself on a rooftop across the courtyard from where Kirk was speaking and fired from there.
Disturbing footage captured Kirk being shot in the neck as about 3,000 attendees looked on, resulting in his death.
Immediately following the shooting, traces on the gravel rooftop suggested a sniper’s position, with evidence indicative of a person lying down to shoot.
The weapon was subsequently discovered wrapped in a blanket in the woods close to the campus. Additionally, text messages exchanged between Robinson and his girlfriend, Lance Twiggs, implied discussions about the retrieval of the rifle.
A few hours post-incident, Robinson reportedly said, “I’m stuck in Orem for a while yet. It won’t be long until I can go home, but I still have to grab my rifle.”
Twiggs is currently assisting the investigation and has not been charged.
Robinson is expected to appear in court, where a motion to exclude news cameras from upcoming hearings will be addressed.
If found guilty of aggravated murder, a serious felony, he could potentially face the death penalty.
