Gunther Eagleman™(@GuntherEagleman):Defense attorneys for Charlie Kirk’s assassin are already trying to save his life. Tyler Robinson’s lawyers just filed to kill the aggravated murder charge that makes this a death penalty case. Their argument? He only intended to murder Charlie Kirk, not anyone else in the crowd he opened fire on with a high-powered rifle. They also want the roommate’s recorded confession thrown out as hearsay. Closing arguments start September 1st. The anniversary of the assassination is September 10th. They’re fighting to keep a political assassin from facing the ultimate consequence. Even Tyler Robinson’s own attorneys are saying he is guilty of the murder.
