The Charlie Kirk Shooting: Too Many Questions, Not Enough Answers
Tyler Robinson’s pretrial hearing, originally set for this Thursday, has been pushed to mid-January. Robinson stands accused of fatally shooting conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
The delay is irregular, especially since the government has yet to provide proof of its case against him.
The judge ruled that Robinson can appear for trial in civilian clothing rather than prison garb but he will be restrained. The judge did not issue a full ruling allowing cameras throughout the trial but he did amend the media order banning what we call the “perp walk.” This is the footage of a defendant walking into a courtroom or police station.
Meanwhile, questions persist about why Kirk’s chief of staff, Michael McCoy, walked away so calmly from the scene of the shooting, and why his father claimed McCoy had been “covered in blood” when video clearly shows he wasn’t. Turning Point USA addressed that on Monday, saying McCoy was “following protocol” to alert Kirk’s wife. That doesn’t track. He leaves the scene almost immediately, with no time to gather information for such a call. Nor does it explain why he claimed to be covered in blood when he was never near the body.
What’s happening here is an information vacuum. Lies, gaps, and contradictions are being filled by a growing set of legitimate questions.
