Update on Kirk Murder

Utah District Attorney Jeff Gray confirmed the charges in a press conference on Tuesday (September 16), and introduced an idea of motive behind the killings.
Robinson has been charged with seven offences, including aggravated murder and obstruction of justice.The seven counts are as follows:
- Count 1: Aggravated murder
- Count 2: Felony discharge of a firearm
- Count 3: Obstruction of justice - moving a firearm
- Count 4: Obstruction of justice - disposing of clothing
- Count 5: Witness tampering - telling a roommate to delete messages
- Count 6: Witness tampering - telling a roommate to stay quiet
- Count 7: Committing violent crime when children are present
Gray explained in the press conference: "The roommate received a text message from Robinson which said: 'Drop what you're doing. Look under my keyboard.' The roommate looked under the keyboard and found a note that stated, 'I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I'm going to take it'."
The roommate responded by writing: "What? You're joking," according to Gray, while the attorney revealed that the suspect also told his roommate that he killed Kirk because he had 'enough of his hatred'.
"When asked why he did it, Robinson explained, 'There's too much evil and the guy [Kirk] spreads too much hate'."
Prosecutors are now seeking the death penalty, with a reporter asking the Utah district attorney whether he had spoken with Donald Trump after the president previously suggested Robinson should receive the death penalty
