JAKARTA - Tyler Robinson faces death penalty for the murder of conservative influencer and Donald Trump loyalist Charlie Kirk at an event at the University of Utah Valley, USA, on September 10.

Robinson, 22, underwent his first virtual trial on Tuesday, September 16 local time. The judge read out the indictment against the defendant in the trial.

Citing ABC News, Wednesday, September 17, Utah District Attorney Jeff Gray said Robinson was charged with a mass shooting that caused serious body injuries, obstructed the judicial proceedings, and two counts of destruction of witnesses, and committed acts of violence in the presence of a child.

In the court file, it was stated that Robinson's parents asked his son about the reasons for killing Kirk. Robinson replied: "Too much crime and that person [Charlie Kirk] spread too much hatred."

Utah Governor Spencer Cox last week said Robinson was arrested on September 11 evening after his father recognized his son in photos released by authorities.

Still in court documents, it was said: " Robinson's father reported after his wife showed him a surveillance camera image showing the shooter suspect on the news, he agreed that the image looked like their son."

The suspect's father also believed that the police "suspected the rifle used by the shooter matched the rifle given to his son as a gift."

Because of that, his father contacted the 22-year-old young man and asked him to "send the photo of the rifle," but Robinson did not respond.

When his father called the defendant, Robinson implied plans to "end his own life," and his parents convinced him to meet them at home.

"When they discussed the situation, Robinson implied that he was the shooter and stated that he could not be imprisoned and just wanted to end his life."

His parents then asked their son why he committed this crime, which Robinson replied: "Too much crime and that guy [Charlie Kirk] spread too much hatred."

His parents then urged Robinson to speak with a relative of the family who served as deputy sheriff. The local police deputy convinced Robinson to surrender.

Utah District Attorney Jeff Gray admitted that he had fully handed over to the judge who tried Robinson to determine whether the statement in the court document was a confession that could be used as evidence of trial.

However, Gray was reluctant to answer when asked if Robinson had cooperated with police investigators regarding the completion of the case.
