Tyler Robinson's Defense PLEADS For NO DEATH Penalty?

[00:00] People who are spreading conspiracies

[00:02] that are unverified are unwittingly,

[00:05] some of them are wittingly, propping up

[00:08] a defense for the defense team. If this

[00:11] shooter is the shooter, you are doing

[00:13] more harm than good by coming up with a

[00:16] defense attorney's arguments to create

[00:18] reasonable doubt. Tyler Robinson didn't

[00:20] kill Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's

[00:22] Israeli security detail killed Charlie

[00:24] Kirk. And Charlie Kirk's assassin is

[00:26] caught on tape. If you think that

[00:28] TurningPoint USA had anything to do with

[00:30] this, or you think that Turning Point

[00:31] USA should somehow release footage of an

[00:34] incident that's currently under

[00:35] investigation, but without accurate

[00:38] information, you should shut your mouth.

[00:43] People who are spreading conspiracies

[00:46] that are unverified are unwittingly,

[00:49] some of them are willingly, propping up

[00:52] a defense for the defense team. And this

[00:54] is not my own thought. another guy uh

[00:56] came up with this idea and I thought it

[00:58] was brilliant that he mentioned it and I

[00:59] think it's 100% true. If this shooter is

[01:02] the shooter, you are doing more harm

[01:04] than good by coming up with a defense

[01:06] attorney's arguments to create

[01:08] reasonable doubt. So therefore, you

[01:11] could create an environment in a

[01:13] situation that taints a jury pool that

[01:16] also creates reasonable doubt that if

[01:18] this is the actual suspect, the suspect

[01:19] could get off in the crime. Is do you

[01:21] want that on your consciousness? You

[01:23] claim that you love Charlie and you love

[01:26] Turning Point USA. You claim that you

[01:27] support the movement, whoever that you

[01:30] are, and I see a ton of you guys, and

[01:32] I'm going to expose a few of them right

[01:33] now, that are saying things that are

[01:35] unourred and that will cause problems in

[01:38] the investigation. You are absolutely

[01:41] unequipped to speak on a subject. If you

[01:44] think that Turning Point USA had

[01:45] anything to do with this, or you think

[01:47] that Turning Point USA should somehow

[01:48] release footage of an incident that's

[01:51] currently under investigation,

[01:53] this is not a game. This is not a talk

[01:56] show. This is not a reality show. This

[01:59] is not social media. This is these are

[02:01] real people doing a real investigation

[02:03] that have real people's lives on the

[02:05] line. And it bothers me to no end that

[02:08] people continue to push conspiracy

[02:09] theories. It's okay to question, but

[02:12] without accurate information, you should

[02:15] shut your mouth and let the

[02:16] investigation yield results that you can

[02:20] then critique. The Fed has finally

[02:22] dropped interest rates, and that's great

[02:24] news for American homeowners. Expenses

[02:27] have been major burdens on the family.

[02:29] Wages have been flat. Prices keep

[02:31] climbing. And for many, the only way

[02:33] that you can make ends meet is leaning

[02:36] on credit cards. But that cycle has high

[02:38] interest debt making it hard to stay

[02:40] ahead. If you're a homeowner, I want you

[02:43] to call my friends at American

[02:45] Financing. Right now, interest rates

[02:47] have dropped. Many homeowners are seeing

[02:49] options in the low fives compared to

[02:52] credit card charges rates that are in

[02:54] the 20s or higher. There's an easy path

[02:57] to see how you can fully put your

[02:59] hard-earned equity to work for you.

[03:01] American Finance can help you pay off

[03:03] that expensive debt, free up your cash

[03:05] flow, and keep your budget under

[03:07] control. Their salarybased mortgage

[03:09] consultants are saving customers on

[03:12] average $800 a month. And if you start

[03:18] your next mortgage payment. So, take

[03:20] control. Call my friends at American

[03:31] I'm gonna show it here in a minute, but

[03:32] in the hearing that was presented today

[03:35] on the topic, both the defense and

[03:37] prosecution admitted that there's tons

[03:40] of evidence to go through that the

[03:42] defense says that they need more time to

[03:45] diagnose the plethora of evidence that

[03:47] they're going to have to evaluate to

[03:49] defend the def the the defendant. They

[03:52] also made claims clearly that there's so

[03:55] much electronic communication that they

[03:57] need ample amount of time to go through

[03:59] all the electronic communication. What

[04:01] does that mean? That means that the

[04:02] little cell phone stuff that you think

[04:04] you saw or that you saw that you think

[04:06] you know the totality of is not the full

[04:09] story. They're going to extract

[04:11] electronic communications from his cell

[04:13] phone, her cell phone or or the boy cell

[04:15] phone that he dating that transition.

[04:17] They're going to extract electronic

[04:19] communication from the dad's cell phone.

[04:21] They're going to extract electronic

[04:23] communication on Discord. and he said

[04:25] that there's more than 20 or 30 people

[04:27] that either communicated with or knew

[04:29] about the inferences of the defendant

[04:32] killing Charlie. Let the information

[04:35] come out and then critique it because

[04:38] there's going to be so much information

[04:40] in this trial and it's going to be

[04:42] presented live for the world to see.

[04:44] Evidence from OM the autopsy experts on

[04:48] ballistics. It's going to be so much

[04:49] information. You ignorant folks, if you

[04:52] have the if you have any integrity, wait

[04:55] till there's information presented and

[04:58] critique the information instead of

[05:00] critiquing a a straw man. And then what

[05:03] happens is you lie about everything and

[05:05] then when the truth come out, you just

[05:07] go on to the next lie. Let's go with Stu

[05:09] Peters, who is the nuttiest person on

[05:11] planet Earth. I I think I know I thought

[05:13] I went on his show before. I said I've

[05:14] seen him before. He is the nuttiest

[05:17] person on planet Earth. I thought that

[05:20] others were nutty. He is the nuttiest. I

[05:23] thought it was a parody until I realized

[05:25] what this fool is saying. Let just roll

[05:28] one clip. Tyler Robinson didn't kill

[05:30] Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's Israeli

[05:32] security detail killed Charlie Kirk and

[05:34] Charlie Kirk's assassin is caught on

[05:36] tape. Blake Bednar has brought us this

[05:38] video. We'll break it down. Take a look

[05:40] at this. Here it is from the wide angle.

[05:41] Watch Charlie Kirk's right side of his

[05:43] t-shirt. Watch the lavalier lapel mic.

[05:46] Do you see it explode?

[05:48] Let's bring it in just a little bit

[05:49] closer. Watch this. Put it in a freeze

[05:51] frame. That is the explosion from

[05:53] Charlie Kirk's lavalier lapel mic. Want

[05:56] to see it again? Bring it in closer.

[05:58] Remember when we told you that was

[05:59] >> this guy is stupid. I I don't want to

[06:01] show too much of Charlie, but he think a

[06:03] lavalier exploded. Somehow the lavalier

[06:07] exploded and then went on this side of

[06:09] Charlie's neck and penetrated and and

[06:11] killed him. We we the lavalier explodes

[06:13] and goes on other side and kill. There

[06:15] is no evidence on no video that nobody

[06:18] has ever presented or saw a entrance

[06:20] wound on the other side of his neck.

[06:23] Where are you getting that the lavalier

[06:25] has precision munition in it that will

[06:28] shoot one round through this side and

[06:31] out this side? If that if it has the

[06:33] velocity to shoot a round through from

[06:35] this angle, it's not going to come out

[06:37] this side. And if IT'S IF IT'S HOW DID

[06:40] IT COME AND IF IT has enough velocity to

[06:43] blast from here, come in and out of this

[06:45] side, in this side, out of this side,

[06:46] it's going to hit somebody that's

[06:49] standing right next to him. His Israeli

[06:52] team, these people WERE HIRED BY TURNING

[06:55] POINT AND THEY SERVE, many of them

[06:56] served in the United States military or

[06:59] law enforcement. I know these GUYS

[07:01] PERSONALLY. WHAT ARE YOU talking about,

[07:03] bro? Now it's a lavalier, Mike. So, so,

[07:06] so the, so you're saying the team is

[07:08] involved because they Nick, help me the

[07:12] they travel with the lavalier mic that

[07:15] they use for Charlie all the time. The

[07:17] same one that they put on me when I go

[07:20] to the event. And if you have a lavalier

[07:23] mic with munition that's powerful enough

[07:26] to kill you, THAT LAVALIER MIC WILL BE

[07:28] SO heavy you couldn't use the magnetic

[07:30] hold on it. It will be draping down his

[07:32] shirt. You stupid idiot.

[07:37] Finish the clip. Absolutely. An exit

[07:39] wound. Yeah, it is. Check the trajectory

[07:41] of the round that was deployed from that

[07:43] lavalier lapel mic that went directly

[07:46] from Charlie Kirk's lapel that went

[07:48] directly from underneath Charlie Kirk's

[07:50] white t-shirt up through his neck and

[07:53] created the exit wound that we told you

[07:55] was an exit wound immediately when we

[07:57] saw

[07:57] >> All right. I don't like to see Charlie

[07:59] like that. Roll this. Let's get off of

[08:01] that for a second. But

[08:04] the lavalier mic shot him but didn't

[08:06] explode cuz the thing is hanging right

[08:09] here.

[08:12] Okay, it's get it gets worse now. Here's

[08:15] Nick Fuentes who is another idiot who's

[08:19] criticizing Erica Kirk's response to her

[08:23] her husband's

[08:24] assassination

[08:28] wrote a clip.

[08:30] >> It's like lady

[08:33] Didn't your husband just get his face

[08:34] blown off like two seconds ago? And not

[08:36] to be insensitive about it, but

[08:38] everyone's thinking it. No one wants to

[08:41] be the No one wants to say it.

[08:44] Everyone's thinking it. Everyone was

[08:46] thinking it when she gave the first

[08:48] speech. Everyone was definitely thinking

[08:50] it at the memorial. Nobody wants to say

[08:52] it because it's inappropriate. It's

[08:55] insensitive.

[08:57] I I am the uh the troll, right? So, I'll

[09:01] be the one to say it. I think it's super

[09:03] inappropriate. I think it's

[09:04] inappropriate. I think it's weird. It's

[09:07] bizarre. Something is off there. And I

[09:10] don't like it. But they're doing the

[09:13] Super Bowl commentators with the

[09:14] headsets on doing a media table. They're

[09:17] selling merch, registering voters. They

[09:19] got pyrochnics.

[09:22] Is this Wrestlemania or is this a

[09:24] funeral? Like, what are we doing here?

[09:25] And then the day after the funeral, I'm

[09:28] getting 500 texts and emails. Erica Kirk

[09:32] here. I miss him every time I blink.

[09:35] Every beat of my heart. Make sure to

[09:38] donate. $5, $15, $25. It's like, okay.

[09:43] Then they're doing a show. Did you see

[09:45] the show today?

[09:48] And so preient. I said it last night. I

[09:51] said, I'm getting like a fake vibe. I'm

[09:53] not. Something's off there.

[09:57] And people say, "Well, everybody

[09:59] grieavves differently." Yeah, I don't

[10:01] know how much mileage we can get out of

[10:03] that one anymore. Something's not right

[10:05] there.

[10:07] Very bizarre, weird vibe there. And did

[10:11] you see the show? Erica hosted the

[10:13] Charlie Kirk show this afternoon and

[10:16] she's like,

[10:18] she looks like she's over the moon.

[10:20] She's happy as a clam.

[10:23] And again, I'm not who am I to judge?

[10:26] Everybody grieavves differently. She's a

[10:28] very devout Christian. Some people say

[10:30] maybe that's just strength. That's

[10:32] resolve. I don't know.

[10:35] It's one thing if your husband dies,

[10:38] period. It's another thing if your

[10:40] husband dies at age 31 unexpectedly.

[10:44] It's another thing if your 31-year-old

[10:46] husband unexpectedly dies because he

[10:48] gets publicly executed with blood

[10:51] gushing out in front of thousands of

[10:52] people screaming and running away.

[10:54] That's like something that's altogether

[10:57] different.

[10:57] >> How many seconds? Oh, thank God it's

[10:59] over. What an idiot. What a I don't know

[11:03] how people think this dude is a normal

[11:05] person that they should platform other

[11:07] than kicking his butt verbally on a

[11:10] debate. Like, do you not have any

[11:14] intuition or wisdom? Do you not believe

[11:17] in God? These fake Christians like Nick

[11:20] Fuentes who trash Charlie forever and

[11:23] call Charlie a fake Christian. Look at

[11:25] his theology of Erica Kirk, dummy some

[11:30] people, because you're a maniac and you

[11:33] don't have any emotional intelligence.

[11:35] Some people know how to put on the face

[11:38] that they need for their HUSBAND'S

[11:40] LEGACY TO DO WHAT SHE got to DO TO

[11:43] CONTINUE HIS LEGACY. WHAT KIND OF EFFING

[11:48] WOMAN WOULD JUST SIT AT HOME AND CRY all

[11:50] day when SHE WAS MARRIED TO A SOLDIER? A

[11:54] MAN WHO STOOD ON PRINCIPLE THAT FOUGHT

[11:57] EVERY DAY FOR AMERICAN VALUES THAT

[11:59] TRAVELED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. SHE'S

[12:01] MARRIED TO THAT GUY THAT PRAYS OVER HIS

[12:03] FAMILY, that supports his family,

[12:05] surrounded by patriots who have

[12:08] something in them that's greater than

[12:10] what the world is offering, and she can

[12:13] step up to the plate TO HONOR HER

[12:15] HUSBAND AND SHE PROBABLY CRIES AT HOME

[12:17] ALL NIGHT. THAT'S LIKE SAYING, BRANDON,

[12:20] you don't cry every time you get on the

[12:21] thing. I have cried multiple times over

[12:23] what happened to Charlie, but I know how

[12:24] to compose myself enough to fight the

[12:27] good fight. These people are stupid

[12:30] saying they talk Erica's speech when she

[12:32] first did it. She was crying and she was

[12:35] but you you want to judge her on what?

[12:38] Show me an example of a person who lost

[12:40] their husband the way she lost Charlie.

[12:42] And what did they say in response? How

[12:44] was their first speech? The woman is

[12:47] continuing his legacy. I got the

[12:48] messages. I love him. I miss him. What

[12:51] else you want her to do? Say, "Let's

[12:53] forget about it." It it makes your

[12:55] husband's death even worse if you

[12:57] sitting around crying about it and

[12:58] you're not helping further the mission.

[13:01] Good people that believe in God

[13:02] understand that God has a plan and that

[13:05] God's plan is bigger than ours. When you

[13:07] Nick Fuentes, you don't believe in God.

[13:09] I don't know what God he believe in. You

[13:11] somehow think that you should be

[13:12] consumed by worldly uh uh events and

[13:15] emotionalism and not by the spirit of

[13:17] God that gives you grace and gives you

[13:20] passion to keep going. That's like

[13:22] saying that the apostles when Jesus was

[13:24] crucified on the cross somehow they

[13:26] supposed to sit around and cry all day.

[13:27] That Mary was supposed to sit around and

[13:29] cry all day. No, they said they killed

[13:32] my son. Mary said they killed our

[13:35] brother and we must continue on even in

[13:38] the face of death. And that's what the

[13:40] apostles did. Let's we got we got

[13:41] another clip from him talking about uh

[13:44] Charlie was in an arranged marriage with

[13:45] Erica. Wrote a clip.

[13:49] Um, you know, the thing about Erica Kirk

[13:51] is I 100% believe that that's an

[13:54] arranged marriage.

[13:56] Charlie and Erica, I do not believe for

[13:59] one second that they met organically.

[14:04] How do you think they met each other? Do

[14:06] you think that they bumped into each

[14:08] other at CPAC and Charlie said, "Hey,

[14:10] let's go on a date."

[14:11] >> Hold on.

[14:12] >> No, they were set up.

[14:13] >> Hold on. This is why you know he's

[14:16] stupid. All you got to do is listen to

[14:18] Charlie over the last several years

[14:20] explain how he met Erica. She applied

[14:23] for a job at Turning Point USA. In the

[14:26] interview, they connected and he said,

[14:27] "You know what? Uh, you can't work for

[14:29] me because you're going to be my woman."

[14:31] That's normal behavior. A young man like

[14:34] Charlie Kirk is probably open to having

[14:37] a wife, beautiful,

[14:39] smart, intelligent, articulate woman got

[14:44] something going for herself. Her resume

[14:46] is probably insane. A man look at her

[14:49] and say, "Wait a minute. You you you

[14:51] gonna be a you you work be a influencer

[14:54] or whatever you No, you wifey material."

[14:57] He speak he see so many women and there

[14:59] is not many women that can lead or or be

[15:02] in a position to be a part of his life

[15:05] to take him to the next level. I met my

[15:08] wife similarly to that. My wife was uh

[15:10] she was on social media or whatever and

[15:12] I knew she lived in California. I

[15:14] invited her to an event. the Nessa Susie

[15:15] event. I was talking to another woman. I

[15:17] mean, we was trying to date another

[15:18] woman. I just liked Korean because she

[15:20] was very sweet and she was nice and I

[15:21] like she was a patriot. And so I invited

[15:24] her to the event. Didn't think nothing

[15:25] of it. The girl that I like, she had to

[15:27] go somewhere else. She couldn't go to

[15:28] dinner with the rest of everybody else.

[15:29] But Korean went and me and Karen talked.

[15:32] She embarrassed me. Well, I embarrassed

[15:34] me. She blasted me because my social

[15:35] media sucked. She said, "Bren, let me

[15:37] help you with this social media." I

[15:38] didn't want nothing to do with Korean.

[15:40] She was good-looking, but she lived in

[15:41] California and I ain't never living in

[15:43] California. I had never moved from

[15:45] Arizona. That's what my mind was. And I

[15:47] don't have time to be dealing with women

[15:49] really. And I thought she was bougie,

[15:51] too, cuz she had Louis Vuitton. And now

[15:52] I know she thrift all that stuff and

[15:54] she's smart about her money. But then

[15:55] over time, bro, she started helping my

[15:58] social media. Then she started being

[16:00] like a like uh to help me with my

[16:01] speaking engagements, kind of like a a

[16:03] manager. And then after a while, I say,

[16:05] "Well, wait a minute. This woman is

[16:07] beautiful. She's conservative. She's

[16:10] smart. She a grown woman. She got her

[16:12] stuff together. She adds so much value

[16:15] to my life. What am I? This is wifey

[16:17] material. This the kind of woman I want

[16:19] to marry and I married her. But when you

[16:22] a little incel uh uh wanking off at

[16:26] night to to I don't know uh uh anime

[16:30] bunny ears. Y'all see the guy he was

[16:31] with doing bunny ears probably probably

[16:33] on the back of him at night. When you

[16:35] doing stuff like that, you don't

[16:36] understand the value of what women bring

[16:38] to the table. This dude is in his age

[16:40] and he don't got no girlfriend or

[16:41] nothing. We know what that is, bro.

[16:43] You're gay probably and ain't nothing

[16:45] wrong being gay. That's what you're

[16:46] going to do. But don't be in the closet

[16:47] about it. You running around talking all

[16:49] this Christian stuff and you the dumbest

[16:51] person on earth with no wisdom. Charlie

[16:54] arranged marriage. Where your evidence

[16:56] that this is arranged? Everybody that

[16:59] got married that I know in Turning

[17:01] Point, a lot of them young people met

[17:03] they people at a Turning Point event.

[17:05] They work with them. They ran into them.

[17:08] What are y'all talking? THIS IS WHAT

[17:09] HAPPENS WHEN you in the movement. You

[17:11] run into somebody that's your wife. But

[17:13] when you a weirdo sitting in your

[17:14] parents house making little videos like

[17:17] being a racist, no woman want you

[17:18] anyway. Who you who what woman going to

[17:20] want Nick Fuentes? You ain't got nothing

[17:22] to offer. You too stupid not to have a

[17:25] build a platform or something for

[17:26] yourself. You go on these podcasts, you

[17:29] a little groper. You make your little

[17:30] YouTube stuff, but you're not desirable

[17:32] for a woman to be with. You have no

[17:35] nothing to offer. Anyway, I will go on,

[17:38] but I need to move on to my next topic.

[17:40] But the court proceeding happened and

[17:43] we'll play it in post-production so you

[17:45] guys can see it.

[17:47] Council, as we begin, I have entered

[17:50] orders allowing the admittance of Mr.

[17:53] Michael Bert, Mr. Richard Novak, Prohawk

[17:56] Viche, and appointing them along with

[17:58] Miss Katherine Netor

[18:01] uh to be Mr. Robinson's counsel. The

[18:04] court enters findings that the combined

[18:06] experience of council meets and exceeds

[18:09] the requirements of rule 8.

[18:12] Council, do we have uh what would what

[18:16] would we like to accomplish today?

[18:19] Uh I have two items, judge. I just

[18:21] wanted to make a record that under rule

[18:23] 16 of the Utah rules of criminal

[18:25] procedure with respect to discovery uh

[18:28] the state is required to provide to the

[18:30] defense within 5 days of the defense's

[18:33] request the discovery that we relied on

[18:35] in making this charging decision. We'll

[18:38] prepare to we'll be be prepared to do

[18:40] that. So we'll look for uh uh defense

[18:42] council's um request or the next day or

[18:46] so and we'll provide that to the

[18:47] defense.

[18:48] >> Thank you. Um, we also for the court's

[18:51] information, we met this morning with

[18:53] the defense team briefly in our office

[18:55] to talk about discovery and the process.

[18:58] So, we'll be working together. There is

[19:00] a substantial amount of discovery in

[19:02] this case, your honor. It's voluminous

[19:05] to say the least. Um, and we're working

[19:07] on a process where we can exchange

[19:09] information as quickly as possible and

[19:12] be efficient in that process.

[19:14] Um, the other item I had, your honor, I

[19:17] saw that over the the weekend there was

[19:19] a protection order, pre-trial and trial

[19:21] publicity order entered by by your

[19:24] honor. And I just was seeking some

[19:26] clarification on page two uh at the end

[19:29] of the first paragraph.

[19:31] It reads, "To that end, lawyers

[19:34] participating in the investigation or

[19:36] litigation of this case shall inform all

[19:39] witnesses, investigators, consultants,

[19:41] staff members, or other members of the

[19:43] prosecution or defense teams that the

[19:45] prohibitions contained about the

[19:47] prohibitions contained in this order."

[19:49] Um, the state, we're seeking some

[19:52] clarification with respect to the phrase

[19:54] all witnesses, your honor. Um

[19:58] there are a number of witnesses that

[19:59] have yet to be identified uh that would

[20:02] likely be used in the state's case. Uh

[20:04] this occurred in front of 2 to 3,000

[20:06] students at Utah Valley University. Uh

[20:09] so we're in the process of identifying

[20:10] those witnesses. And so those

[20:12] individuals are presently unknown right

[20:14] now. So we're looking for a little

[20:16] clarification from the court. Um and I

[20:19] suppose uh we're not going to make any

[20:20] arguments today, but there may be some

[20:22] follow-up pleadings that we may need to

[20:24] file.

[20:26] Uh, Miss Nester, did you want to be

[20:28] heard about that issue?

[20:30] >> No, your honor, we would defer to

[20:32] whatever the court wants to advise them

[20:34] on that matter. Um, I mean, I think it's

[20:37] fairly obvious that we don't know who

[20:39] all the witnesses are in this case yet.

[20:41] Um, I think it's just important that if

[20:43] anyone um is identified that they have

[20:46] information about this order. So, I

[20:48] think other than that, we wouldn't weigh

[20:50] in on any other matter.

[20:52] >> Thank you. They are inherently due

[20:54] because they are human beings. Let me be

[20:57] clear. I will not put my finger on the

[21:00] scale of justice. These proceedings will

[21:02] be open to the public, conducted in

[21:05] accordance with the law, and handled

[21:07] with diligence and competence to ensure

[21:10] that justice is never compromised. It is

[21:14] the standing order of this court that

[21:15] Mr. Robinson shall be allowed to appear

[21:17] in person so he can fully engage with

[21:20] his attorneys and participate in these

[21:23] legal proceedings.

[21:25] Council, regardless of who is watching,

[21:28] whether it is the nation or a single

[21:31] individual, we must fulfill our roles

[21:34] with integrity,

[21:36] civility, and diligence. I encourage

[21:38] each of you to give your very best to

[21:40] this case.

[21:42] Neither Mr. Robinson nor the people of

[21:44] Utah deserve anything less than the fair

[21:47] and impartial administration of justice.

[21:52] In regards to the next hearing, council

[21:54] >> is right now being held at the Utah

[21:56] County Jail. He was scheduled to appear

[21:58] in person today, but then Friday we were

[22:00] notified that Robinson will not be

[22:01] present in person for today's hearing.

[22:04] We're told possibly because it's a short

[22:06] hearing and it doesn't make sense to

[22:08] transfer Robinson today. Now, in the

[22:10] hearing, Robinson and his newly

[22:11] appointed attorney will make a decision

[22:13] whether they want a preliminary hearing

[22:15] where the judge will decide if there's

[22:16] enough evidence to take this case to

[22:18] trial. While prosecutors have already

[22:20] released a significant amount of

[22:22] evidence, including what they say is

[22:23] Robinson's DNA on the trigger of a rifle

[22:26] believed to be the murder weapon and

[22:28] text messages after the shooting in

[22:30] which Robinson allegedly confessed to

[22:31] his lover. Now, Robinson faces the death

[22:34] penalty here in Idaho, charged with a

[22:35] long list of crimes. And a longtime

[22:37] criminal defense attorney here in Utah

[22:39] tells us Robinson's attorneys are likely

[22:42] already strategizing to keep him alive.

[22:46] In a death penalty case, there's two

[22:48] parts. There's guilt and there's

[22:49] punishment. And we haven't dealt with

[22:51] the guilt part first. So, the defense is

[22:53] going to focus on that first. But all

[22:55] the while, they're going to be thinking

[22:56] about the penalty phase. All the while,

[22:58] they're going to be looking at

[22:59] mitigation and ways to potentially save

[23:01] his life.

[23:04] >> So, Harris, we will be live uh inside

[23:07] and outside of the courthouse today.

[23:09] We'll keep you updated,

[23:09] >> but the court proceeding happened where

[23:11] it was like an initial council for the

[23:14] defendant. They introduced the council

[23:15] and they obviously convened to create

[23:18] another uh um hearing. I don't know what

[23:21] the hearing is called, but a hearing so

[23:22] they can begin to articulate their

[23:24] position because he just secured

[23:26] counsel.
