Tyler Robinson, 22, appeared calm but chillingly composed during his first in-person court appearance in Provo, Utah, over three months after Charlie Kirk's brutal assassination. The alleged assassin shared a laugh with his attorney and even revealed he thinks about the shooting "every day" in a heart-stopping court exchange.
According to an analysis by Lip Reader Limited, Robinson made these remarks off-mic before the hearing began, further highlighting his seemingly nonchalant demeanor despite the gravity of the situation. When asked about Kirk's daily routine, Robinson responded, "I think about the shooting daily... every morning... all the time."
In a particularly unsettling exchange, Robinson mentioned Erika Kirk, Charlie's widow and mother of two small children, sending chills down the spines of those in attendance. The lip reader captured him saying, "So, he had a wife..." - a moment that left many feeling uneasy.
During another part of the exchange, Robinson revealed his own turmoil, confessing to not sleeping at night due to anxiety and stating, "Unfortunately, it's doing my head in. I'm not good for anything." His candid admission seemed almost surreal given the circumstances of the case.
Robinson's calm facade was jarring, especially considering he is accused of gunning down Kirk on September 10 during a speech at Utah Valley University before thousands of people. The defendant's relaxed demeanor sparked debate among observers, with some wondering if this was an attempt to sway public opinion or simply a reflection of his mental state.
As the case unfolds, Robinson will face charges including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, and obstruction of justice, among others. Judge Tony Graf has scheduled a final hearing for December 29 to make a decision on several key issues related to media access and public disclosure of certain aspects of the transcript from his phone hearing.
Robinson's lawyer argued against allowing media in the courtroom during Thursday's hearing, while prosecutors sought to make parts of the transcript public. After a lengthy private discussion, Judge Graf ultimately deferred judgment on both matters, opting to schedule another hearing for December 29. The outcome is far from certain, but one thing is clear: Tyler Robinson's chilling words and demeanor have left an indelible mark on this case.

I mean, I get that everyone has their own demons, but Tyler's just being super chill about it all 
. Like, his lawyer says it might be an attempt to sway public opinion, but honestly, it just seems like... a lot of anxiety 
. And can we talk about how he talks about Charlie's wife and kids? That was straight up creepy 
. I'm not saying he's guilty or anything (yet 
), but this whole thing is giving me major whiplash 
.
and his comment about Erika Kirk's kids is just wow... 
how can he be so nonchalant about all this? 
i'm really confused by his attitude, is he trying to get sympathy or something? 
and btw, why did he say that he doesn't sleep at night due to anxiety? 
it's like he's trying to manipulate us all with his calm demeanor 
. This guy's calm demeanor? It's like he's trying to send a message or something. And what's with him thinking about Charlie Kirk every day? That's some weird stuff right there. I mean, I know it's been three months since the assassination, but come on, that's a lot of time to be thinking about someone. And when he mentions Erika Kirk, the widow... it's just too much 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole situation. A guy who allegedly killed a prominent conservative speaker is calm as can be in court? 
it's like he's not even acknowledging the gravity of what he's done! I mean, can you imagine if you had just killed someone in front of thousands of people? Your mind would be racing, your heart would be pounding... but not him, nope. He's just chillin' like he's at a coffee shop or something 
.
It's like he's tryin' to send a message or somethin'. His words are haunting, especially when he talks about thinkin' about the shooting every day... it's like he's not even takin' responsibility for his actions. 
And that Erika Kirk comment? Chills, fam! 
. Like, dude just admitted he thinks about the shooting EVERY DAY 
and you're supposed to be nonchalant about it? 
His words are straight out of a horror movie 
. And can we talk about how his attitude towards Erika Kirk's kids is just... 
.
. He was in court three months ago and now he's like "I think about the shooting every day"? That's some weird stuff, dude
