In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we go deep inside the courtroom drama unfolding in Utah—the state’s capital murder case against Tyler James Robinson, the man accused of assassinating political figure Charlie Kirk during a public event at Utah Valley University.

Robinson, just 22 years old, now faces aggravated murder and six additional felony charges. According to prosecutors, he left a note, allegedly confessed via text, and was tied to the weapon with forensic evidence. The state has made it clear: they’re seeking the death penalty.

But here’s where the story shifts from headlines to process.

Robinson is being represented by Kathryn Nester, a former federal public defender appointed by Utah County after Robinson was found indigent. According to multiple reports, Nester may be joined by nationally recognized capital attorneys Michael Burt and Richard Novak—though official court records haven’t yet confirmed their formal entry.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about law. In this video, we examine:

  • Why the Constitution requires a strong defense—even in emotionally charged, politically volatile cases.


  • What makes a capital case different from a regular murder trial.


  • How the prosecution plans to prove premeditation and political motivation.


  • What the defense will likely challenge, from forensic chains to digital records.


  • The next legal steps: preliminary hearings, motions, jury selection, and a possible penalty phase.

This isn’t just about guilt or innocence. It’s a test of the entire justice system under maximum pressure.

Whether you support the prosecution or are simply watching for truth, this is the story behind the story—where law meets reality.
