PROVO, Utah (AP) — Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old Utah man accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, was charged on Tuesday with aggravated murder, a prosecutor announced, saying Robinson left behind his DNA on the trigger of the rifle that fired the fatal shot.
The charge means Robinson could face the death penalty if convicted of killing Kirk last week at Utah Valley University in Orem, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) south of Salt Lake City.
I dunno, if they were going to frame someone, they’d pick someone who would much more neatly fit their narrative of The Violent Left. The fact that this guy could even possibly be far right is a pretty good sign, I think, that they didn’t pick him to take the fall. That said, “DNA left on the trigger” sure is fishy as hell on it’s own.
