The state says it was political targeting. The defense says it’s not that simple. And now the clock is ticking on a death penalty case that could define how ideology, violence, and due process collide in America’s justice system.
In this explosive breakdown, former prosecutor and current defense attorney Eric Faddis joins us to dissect the complex legal machinery behind the state of Utah’s capital case against Tyler James Robinson—the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk from a rooftop in a highly calculated public ambush. We’re digging into the forensic trail, jury strategy, premeditation thresholds, and that rare political-targeting enhancement the state added to elevate sentencing.
Eric walks us through every layer—from the suppression motions expected to challenge key evidence, to the strategic gamble of not waiving the preliminary hearing, to the sheer legal weight that drops when prosecutors announce they’re going for death.
We also explore whether this case could flip federal, how mental health could become a tool in mitigation even without an insanity plea, and what kind of jury selection nightmare awaits in a politically charged case of this magnitude.
This is high-stakes legal war. If you want to understand how the justice system actually works when everything’s on the line—this one’s a must-watch.
