On Human Events Daily Tuesday, Jack Posobiec and TPM and Human Events Editor In Chief Libby Emmons reviewed new information surrounding accused Charlie Kirk killer Tyler Robinson, focusing on the virtual jail visits Robinson has received from his parents and what that behavior may say about their view of the case.
“Breaking news that we have a new report that's up at thepostmillennial.com. Brian Entin originally broke this over from News Nation.” He said jail officials confirmed that Robinson “is now holding virtual visits in prison with their son,” describing the meetings as taking place “at the Utah County Jail in Utah County, Utah.
According to Posobiec, the sheriff’s office told reporters that Robinson is housed under the highest restrictions available. “They've said that Tyler Robinson is being held in a special unit. This is the most restrictive custody level that Utah can provide for him at time pending trial,” he said. Posobiec added that the facility’s Special Management Unit involves a “self-contained cell,” explaining it is “usually six by 10 or eight by 10,” with a “sink and a stainless-steel toilet that’s bolted to a wall.”
Robinson has remained in custody since his father helped turn him in. Posobiec said he had been held “from 33 hours on when his parents went to turn him in.”
Posobiec questioned why the family had stayed out of the public eye. “If Tyler Robinson were innocent, or if his family believed they were innocent, why then would they not be going public?” he said. “Well, we know they're not going public because they're going private. And they're speaking to their son privately through these virtual visits.” He cited reporting that Robinson’s parents were making these visits “several times a week.”
He also referred to prosecutors’ filings, stating, “It was his mother who first identified him. Then she went to the father. They also recognized the grandfather’s gun.”
Later in the segment, Emmons responded directly to Posobiec’s remarks. “I have the utmost sympathy for Robinson's parents,” she said, calling the situation “seriously tragic” while noting Robinson “has not yet been convicted.”

Emmons said the private visits could be meaningful. “If what they're doing is going there and speaking to their son privately, they're not going public about it, then there's a very good indication that they don't believe that he is innocent,” she said. “If your son is innocent, you're going to go scream it from the rooftops.”
She said any parent would find the circumstances overwhelming. “This has just got to be a horrific situation for his parents to know, to believe that their son was capable of something like this,” she said. Emmons added that if convicted, Robinson “is going to be facing the death penalty… in a court of law in Utah.”
