Jonathan Turley Says Evidence Against Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Assassin Is ‘Strongest’ He’s Ever Seen

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said on Thursday that the evidence against Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, is the “strongest” he has ever seen in a case.

The case is moving more slowly than usual because Utah Fourth District Judge Tony Graf wants to ensure that this case remains fair, Turley said on “The Ingraham Angle.” He added that fairness has become a major concern for the judge since the evidence against Robinson is overwhelmingly strong.

“But I think that reflects the fact that this judgewants to be very cautious.You know, the fact is,this is a case with overwhelming evidence.I mean, the prosecutors could probably lose 90%of this evidence in a suppression hearingand still secure an easy conviction,” Turley said. “He has a presumption of innocence, but the evidence here you can’t ignore.It’s just the strongest I’ve ever seen in a case.”

“So the real concern for the court is not just,he has to protect the rights of the defendant,which is the primary concern on these questions,but also he doesn’t want to commit reversible errorbecause that tends to victimize the family againbecause they have to go through this again,” Turley continued.

Before the arrest, Robinson’s parents recognized their son in security footage released by investigators and confronted him. Robinson confessed to the murder, prompting his parents to call a youth pastor who formerly served as a law enforcement official, who then contacted Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby.
