A body language expert has analyzed footage of Tyler Robinson as he appeared in court and has pointed out some interesting details.
Robinson, 22, faces severe charges, including aggravated murder, which could result in the death penalty if he is convicted.
The incident occurred on the campus of Utah Valley University during a Turning Point event last Wednesday, where Charlie Kirk, a conservative media figure, was shot and killed.
The 22-year-old made his first court appearance yesterday (September 16), and his actions have been analyzed.
The popular YouTube channel Dr. G Explains took a look at the footage, and while Robinson appeared to stay incredibly still throughout the interview, there were moments of interest.
When Kirk's death was mentioned, Robinson appeared to slightly nod his head, which Dr. G indicated had a bigger meaning behind it.
The body language expert explained that he believes there is some "pride" from Robinson regarding the death of Kirk.
When the death penalty was mentioned, Robinson appeared to nod again and swallow.
Dr. G explains that this could be an indication of anxiety, which he dubbed as "not surprising" given the charges against him.
Robinson, he noted, was doing his best to suppress any indications that he was anxious about the charges and potential punishment.
Robinson’s arrest has led to a series of grave charges, underscoring the severity of the crime.
Utah County attorney Jeff Gray called Kirk’s murder an “American tragedy” and emphasized his responsibility to bring justice not only to the victims but also to the broader community affected by this senseless violence.
The charges against Robinson include:
Gray also emphasized his independent decision to pursue the death penalty in this case, stating that he was "charged with bringing justice for Charlie Kirk."
At the moment, Robinson is being held without bail in a Utah County jail as he faces these serious charges.
