Utah prosecutors argued in their bindover memorandum that the evidence presented during Tyler Robinson's five-day preliminary hearing easily established probable cause for him to stand trial on all seven charges connected to the killing of Charlie Kirk. The state pointed to Robinson's alleged admissions to his roommate, Lance Twiggs, and several friends, including messages in which he reportedly acknowledged shooting Kirk, described planning the attack for more than a week and discussed retrieving or concealing the rifle. Prosecutors maintained that those statements were reinforced by surveillance footage allegedly tracking Robinson onto the roof of Utah Valley University's Losee Center, eyewitness testimony and DNA evidence connecting him to the rifle recovered near the campus. The memorandum emphasized that the state was not required to prove Robinson's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at this stage, only that there was sufficient evidence to reasonably believe he committed the crimes.The state asked Judge Tony Graf Jr. to bind Robinson over for trial on aggravated murder and the remaining charges, which included felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child. Prosecutors also defended the victim-targeting enhancement, arguing that Robinson allegedly selected Kirk because of Kirk's political and religious positions, particularly his views concerning gender and sexuality. According to the state, Robinson's alleged statements showed both an intent to kill and a motive rooted in hostility toward Kirk's beliefs, while his purported efforts to hide the weapon and influence Twiggs supported the additional charges. Calling the matter one of the most straightforward bindover decisions the court was likely to encounter, prosecutors concluded that the combined admissions, forensic evidence, videos and witness accounts supported sending every count to trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The October 24, 2025 hearing centered on Tyler Robinson's request to appear at future court proceedings in civilian clothing and without restraints. His attorneys argued that routinely presenting him in jail clothing and shackles would undermine the presumption of innocence, interfere with his ability to participate in his defense and create prejudicial images that could spread through extensive media coverage. They maintained that the Constitution required the court to make an individualized security assessment rather than rely upon a blanket policy, emphasizing that Robinson had surrendered, had behaved appropriately in court and had not been shown to present a specific courtroom threat. The defense also opposed suggestions that Robinson could simply attend meaningful hearings remotely, arguing that he needed to be physically present to observe witnesses, communicate with counsel and participate fully in the proceedings.Prosecutors and attorneys representing the sheriff's office argued that restraints and jail clothing were justified by transportation and courtroom-security concerns, particularly given the seriousness and public profile of the case. They proposed using virtual or hybrid proceedings for noncritical hearings and said civilian clothing could make Robinson harder to identify during an emergency, also pointing to allegations that he had changed clothes while fleeing after Charlie Kirk's shooting. The defense separately asked the judge to strike the sheriff's office's filing on the grounds that the sheriff was not a party to the criminal case, although the parties agreed the judge could still consider its security information. Judge Tony Graf questioned whether jail clothing itself could prejudice potential jurors, treated clothing and restraints as separate issues and reserved his rulings until a public WebEx hearing the following Mondayto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:tyler-robinson-redacted-hearing-transcript.pdf

On November 7, 2024, Bryan Kohberger appeared in an Ada County courtroom for a hearing to challenge the prosecution's intent to seek the death penalty in his upcoming trial. Kohberger faces charges for the November 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. His defense team argued that the death penalty is arbitrary, inappropriate under modern standards, and unconstitutional. They also contended that methods of execution, such as lethal injection and firing squads, constitute cruel and unusual punishment. The prosecution countered by stating that both Idaho and U.S. Supreme Courts have upheld the constitutionality of the death penalty.During the four-hour hearing, Judge Steven Hippler engaged both sides with questions, expressing concerns about the timing of the decision on execution methods, given the lengthy appeals process in death penalty cases. He questioned why a ruling on execution methods should be made now, considering that it could be over a decade before any sentence is carried out, during which time methods may change. The defense emphasized the importance of addressing the death penalty issue before jury selection, citing the impact on jury composition and trial preparation. At the conclusion of the hearing, Judge Hippler stated he would take the matters under advisement and issue written opinions in due course.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Idaho murders suspect Bryan Kohberger gets no-nonsense warning from judge over potential death penalty | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

This is episode 35 of The Broken Crow Podcast: notes from a hospice nurse. This is a work of fiction. 

Send us Fan MailAfter acknowledging a broken recording and their general exhaustion, Bobby and Jim talk through a frightening health scare involving Penny, the uncertainty it creates around an upcoming Seattle and Portland trip, and the strangely clarifying experience of confronting the possible loss of a pet. From there, the episode becomes a fast-moving tour through their shared obsessions and grievances: a handwritten invitation to a Bible drama, tax-free churches and imaginary missionary safaris, gorillas and emotionally devastating octopuses, and a phrase that supposedly makes anyone sound as if they are speaking in tongues.The centerpiece is their postmortem of a nude camping trip. Bobby explains why camping's endless transitions and tiny logistical steps are incompatible with his brain, while both hosts relive the pool, rain, a blood-pressure scare, an overenthusiastic horse-whip performer, unwanted homemade alcohol, and petty campground authority. The conversation then shifts into sex, Charli XCX, nightlife fatigue, fake-feeling DJs, video-game escapism, creative stagnation, money, housing, and the search for joy in ordinary rituals.The final stretch covers political spectacle, stomach trouble, Palm Springs sugar-daddy fantasies, the illusion of happiness, a suspected neighborhood stalker, strangers forcing shots on people, furry nightlife, and the looming Seattle trip. Beneath the jokes is a surprisingly cohesive question: when the old forms of fun stop working, how do you build a life that feels alive again?Support the showAs always you can write us at nowellpodcast@gmail.com or call us at ‪(614) 721-5336‬ and tell us your Not Wells of the week InstagramTwitterBobby's Only FansHelp us continue to grow and create amazing content, like a live tour or just help fund some new headphones when needed.

Listen as Bleu discusses the latest trending Story: Murderer Pass Port Hubby.

Bryan Kohberger traded a capital murder trial for a deal that took the death penalty off the table. He is now telling the State of Idaho it is welcome to come put it back.He is also the man who stood in an Ada County courtroom and said guilty four separate times, once for each of the four University of Idaho students he admitted killing.This episode takes his claim seriously enough to actually test it. We go through the petition he filed to undo his conviction, the argument he appears to be making, and the extraordinary standard he would have to clear to get anywhere. We look at what he left out of the filing, which turns out to matter more than what he put in.Then we go back to the day itself. Who was with him. How long he and his lawyers had been going through the evidence before he walked into that room. And the specific sworn statement he made to the judge that his new claim runs directly into.The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were split on the plea deal when it happened. Some of them made peace with it because a prosecutor put a promise in writing about exactly this kind of filing. That letter is where this story turns from a stunt into something worth being angry about.Kaylee Goncalves' family issued a response within hours that dismantles the petition line by line, and gives him a description that has stuck.Drawn from the court docket, the filings, and dated reporting on the University of Idaho case.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger took a deal to avoid the death penalty. He now says he would welcome prosecutors seeking it again.About a year after he was sentenced to four consecutive life terms in the Idaho student murders, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court, representing himself. He claims his confession was false. He told the New York Times that his actual innocence is his truth and called the case against him a work of fiction.Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke break down what changed, and what a reversal like this usually signals.The filing alleges his defense team was ineffective and failed to disclose or review evidence in his favor. It alleges he was given a badly misleading picture of what life in an Idaho prison and Idaho's death row would look like. It blames threats and false promises for the plea.This breakdown also covers why he can file at all after waiving his appeal rights. Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent with twenty-one years assessing human behavior, takes on the harder question. Does a man who says guilty under oath and innocent a year later believe either one?Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin died in Moscow in November 2022. Their families were told the plea would end this. The Goncalves family, who wanted a capital trial from the start, say he got exactly what he asked for and now hates it. In their words, he wants another chance to roll the dice. They have also pointed out what a hearing would give him, including a break from solitary confinement and the spotlight back on his supposed innocence.The court has not ruled, and these families are waiting again on a process they were told they would never sit through.

They maintained that the Constitution required the court to make an individualized security assessment rather than rely upon a blanket policy, emphasizing that Robinson had surrendered, had behaved appropriately in court and had not been shown to present a specific courtroom threat. The defense also opposed suggestions that Robinson could simply attend meaningful hearings remotely, arguing that he needed to be physically present to observe witnesses, communicate with counsel and participate fully in the proceedings.Prosecutors and attorneys representing the sheriff's office argued that restraints and jail clothing were justified by transportation and courtroom-security concerns, particularly given the seriousness and public profile of the case. They proposed using virtual or hybrid proceedings for noncritical hearings and said civilian clothing could make Robinson harder to identify during an emergency, also pointing to allegations that he had changed clothes while fleeing after Charlie Kirk's shooting. The defense separately asked the judge to strike the sheriff's office's filing on the grounds that the sheriff was not a party to the criminal case, although the parties agreed the judge could still consider its security information.

Tyler Robinson's defense asked Judge Tony Graf to immediately prohibit prosecutors and investigators from conducting any additional testing on a bullet-jacket fragment recovered during Charlie Kirk's autopsy until the court resolves the dispute. The defense argued that further forensic work could permanently alter, consume, or destroy the fragment, preventing its experts from independently evaluating its condition and evidentiary value. Robinson's attorneys requested that a defense firearms expert first be allowed to examine and photograph the fragment. As alternatives, they asked that their expert be permitted to observe any additional testing or that the entire process be video-recorded so the defense can later scrutinize exactly what was done.The motion was filed after an ATF examination was unable to conclusively identify the damaged bullet fragment as having been fired from the rifle attributed to Robinson. The result was inconclusive rather than an exclusion, meaning the fragment did not contain enough usable markings to either match it to or rule it out as having come from the rifle. With the FBI reportedly planning additional comparative and lead analysis, the defense maintained that basic fairness and Robinson's right to challenge the prosecution's evidence required preserving the fragment before potentially destructive testing occurred. The motion does not ask the judge to declare the evidence exculpatory; it seeks to ensure that the defense has a meaningful opportunity to inspect and document the evidence before its original condition is changed forever.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:tyler-robinson-ballistics-motion.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Fifty years after the Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment, the death penalty remains one of America's most divisive issues. Supporters argue it delivers justice for the most heinous crimes, provides closure for victims' families, and ensures the worst offenders can never kill again. Opponents point to wrongful convictions, racial disparities, and the moral consequences of allowing the state to take a life, arguing that life without parole is enough. Now we debate: Should the Death Penalty Be Abolished? This ethical conundrum is at the crux of this week's debate, originally broadcast in April 2015.   Arguing YES:  Diann Rust-Tierney, Executive Director of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty  Barry Scheck, Co-Director of the Innocence Project and Professor at Cardozo Law School  Arguing NO:  Robert Blecker, Professor at New York Law School  Kent Scheidegger, Legal Director of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation  Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates  Join the conversation on Substack—share your perspective on this episode and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for curated insights from our debaters, moderators, and staff.  Follow us on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and TikTok to stay connected with our mission and ongoing debates.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of True Crime News The Sidebar Podcast: Jason Goldman joins host Joshua Ritter to break down the biggest cases making headlines across the nation. They discuss D4vd's ongoing preliminary hearing in Los Angeles as the singer, legal name David Burke, faces charges in the death of teen Celeste Rivas Hernandez; a Tennessee mother charged with shooting a man she allegedly found under her daughter's bed, and Pamela Smart's appeal for a new trial.

The probable-cause affidavit alleges that Tyler Robinson carried out the September 10, 2025 shooting of Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University. Investigators said campus surveillance tracked a dark-clothed suspect carrying a backpack as he moved toward the Losee Center, climbed onto its roof and took a prone position overlooking the courtyard shortly before Kirk was shot in the neck. The suspect then sprinted across the roof, climbed down and fled toward a wooded area, where investigators recovered a scoped Mauser Model 98 .30-06 bolt-action rifle wrapped in a towel. Engraved ammunition was found with the weapon, and a shoe impression near the rooftop escape point was described as consistent with Converse-style shoes worn by the suspect.The affidavit says the investigation shifted toward Robinson after a family member reported that he had confessed or implied responsibility. Police also placed Robinson's gray Dodge Challenger at the university earlier that morning and said his family confirmed that he had recently discussed Kirk's visit, criticized his views and become increasingly political. Robinson's roommate then showed investigators messages attributed to “Tyler” discussing a rifle left at a drop point, the towel wrapped around it, engraved bullets, the weapon's scope and a change of clothing. Based on the surveillance, recovered rifle, family information and digital messages, the officer concluded there was probable cause to arrest Robinson for aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm and obstruction of justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:23c7187b-5c27-490e-b52d-3f2640f43091.pdf

The alleged confession to Lance Twiggs is among the strongest publicly available pieces of evidence because it is not presented as a vague secondhand rumor or an isolated statement stripped of context. Twiggs told investigators that Robinson sent messages accepting responsibility for Charlie Kirk's killing, then confirmed the admission face-to-face the following day when Twiggs asked whether what he had written was true. According to the recorded interview played during the preliminary hearing, Robinson became emotional, said he wished he had not done it and discussed surrendering to authorities. Prosecutors also presented an alleged handwritten note left for Twiggs and text messages discussing Robinson's motive, the engraved ammunition and his concern about recovering the abandoned rifle. Taken together, those statements allegedly describe conduct before, during and after the shooting in language attributable directly to Robinson rather than merely placing him near the scene.The confession is especially significant because several details reportedly correspond with independently discovered evidence. Robinson's alleged messages referred to the rifle, the engraved rounds and the possibility that his DNA remained on the weapon, while investigators later recovered a rifle and ammunition matching important parts of that account and presented forensic evidence connecting him to those items. Twiggs also reportedly told investigators that Robinson had begun engraving bullets weeks before the killing, providing potential evidence of preparation rather than a spontaneous admission invented after the fact. A confession can always be challenged on authenticity, interpretation or witness credibility, and Twiggs received immunity before cooperating, but the prosecution does not appear to be relying on his word alone. The alleged admission is powerful because it functions as a narrative thread connecting motive, planning, the weapon, the physical evidence, Robinson's movements after the shooting and his eventual surrender.to contact me:bobbycapucci@@protonmail.comsource:Lance Twiggs recalled moment Tyler Robinson allegedly confessed to shooting Charlie Kirk

Restaurant employees in Panguitch, Utah, reported that a quiet man who ate alone at a local steakhouse on the night Charlie Kirk was killed resembled Tyler Robinson. The customer reportedly ordered a medium-rare sirloin with vegetables and a baked potato, and employees later contacted the FBI after seeing photographs of Robinson. Federal agents reportedly interviewed the owner and two servers, but the restaurant did not have surveillance footage clearly identifying the customer or a complete name connected to the payment card. Because Panguitch is more than three hours from Utah Valley University, the possible sighting raised questions about Robinson's movements and the prosecution's timeline.The claim remains unresolved because neither the FBI nor prosecutors have publicly confirmed whether the customer was Robinson. The restaurant owner has also said he was never told whether investigators were able to verify the sighting through payment records or other evidence. While the available information makes it appear unlikely that the steakhouse customer has been conclusively identified as Robinson, the lack of an official answer means the possibility has not been definitively ruled out. For now, the Panguitch sighting remains an unconfirmed lead rather than either a proven alibi or a fully disproven claim.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Tyler Robinson's father, Matthew Robinson, has continued operating the family's successful stone and marble business in St. George, Utah, while his son awaits trial for the alleged murder of Charlie Kirk. The company reportedly relies on word-of-mouth advertising and longstanding relationships with local contractors, many of whom have continued doing business with the family despite the criminal case. Court records show that Matthew previously faced a lawsuit from his brother and former business partner, Clint Robinson, who accused him of misappropriating roughly $100,000, concealing financial records and exchanging company work for personal favors. The brothers eventually resolved the dispute through a confidential settlement, and Matthew has declined to publicly discuss either the old allegations or his son's case.Although Robinson comes from a family that appears financially comfortable, a judge declared the 23-year-old indigent, meaning Utah taxpayers are funding his capital-murder defense. His attorneys have reportedly requested an additional $2 million for experts and trial preparation, while legal analysts estimate the total cost could eventually exceed $10 million once a lengthy trial and possible appeals are included. Prosecutors presented testimony at the preliminary hearing alleging that Robinson confessed several times to his partner, Lance Twiggs, before surrendering with the assistance of his father and a family friend who had worked in law enforcement. The case has also placed intense scrutiny on Robinson's hometown, where former teachers and residents have expressed shock over the allegations and frustration with the continuing national attention.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
