EXCERPT:
A letter allegedly written by Tyler Robinson appearing to show a confession to murdering conservative activist Charlie Kirk was briefly shown to the public Thursday during a court hearing, despite a judge’s prior order barring the document from being displayed before jury selection.
The disclosure occurred during a weeklong evidentiary hearing for Robinson, 23, who faces the death penalty if convicted of assassinating the Turning Point USA founder before a crowd at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025.
Utah Judge Tony Graf had ruled that materials prosecutors characterize as a confession should not be broadcast. But two images of the note — one showing the partially burned original and another depicting an intact photograph stored on Robinson’s roommate’s phone — were briefly visible on the court’s livestream before Graf noticed the mistake and had them removed.
