[CrusaderFrank]

Given the evidence presented by the FBI, in the matter of the people vs Tyler Robinson, has the jury reached a verdict?

What say you?

He did exactly what he is accused of.

Not sure what there is to discuss.

Hell, Utah County is likely gonna go for life without parole because a death penalty trial will cost the county millions.

Utah Commissioner Warns Tyler Robinson Death Penalty Case Could Cost Taxpayers Millions​

Could one trial really reshape a county’s budget and test its unity? The answer is yes, in Utah County and the case in question is as politically charged as it is costly. Accused of killing Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University, Tyler Robinson could face the death penalty. The constitutional guarantee of a competent defense means the county must foot the bill, even as frustration mounts among residents.


Commissioner Amelia Powers Gardner said the county already has spent “just over a quarter of a million dollars” on Robinson’s defense a number she expects to be doubled by the end of the year and rise to around $5 million over the next 18 months. “Under the Constitution, we have a right to a competent defense,” she said. “It is imperative that if we want to have a society that we believe in justice, that justice needs to be fair and equal.”

The high-profile nature of the case has made hiring local attorneys almost impossible. Death penalty cases require “death-qualified” lawyers those with extensive murder trial experience and specialized training and none of Utah County’s usual defense attorneys accepted the standard contract. As Powers Gardner explained, “It’s a very emotionally and politically charged case. And because of that, none of our usual defense attorneys were willing to take the case.”

But aside from lawyer costs, the county is also confronted with huge operational and security expenses. Jailing Robinson is costly, and threats have provoked extraordinary measures: transfers in armored vehicles, courthouse-building sweeps and active-shooter training for staff. In just six weeks alone, that has added another $250,000 and court appearances haven’t even begun.

The whole thing seems more like a lawyer's payday than justice.

Guilty, but he will be Epsteined.

Possibly even before he's convicted.

You think the convicted felons are out to avenge Charlie Kirk?
