Well, here we go. The case against Tyler Robinson is already showing cracks. And not because of some conspiracy theory from a Reddit thread, but because of something far more dangerous to a prosecution: the timeline might not add up.
Fox News reports that one of the most vulnerable points in the case could be the sequence of events laid out by prosecutors. And if that timeline can’t be nailed down, it could unravel the entire thing.
Fast forward 33 hours later after the incident when Robinson is arrested in southern Utah, and we’re told he had returned to the crime scene after the crime, allegedly to retrieve something he dropped. That’s also where the suspected weapon was found.
Sounds suspicious, right? Sure. But here’s the issue: the bodycam footage from the officer who interacted with Robinson near the scene might be nonexistent. And without a time-stamped record of that encounter, it opens the door wide for the defense to start poking holes.

Skye Lazaro, a well-known Utah defense attorney, told Fox News this timeline issue could be a major weak point. She’s not wrong. If the encounter with Robinson near the crime scene doesn’t line up logically, if the weapon was already there or if he was identified only after the officer ran his plates, then the defense has something to work with. Big time.
Let’s also not forget the text messages between Robinson and his romantic partner, Lance Twiggs. Prosecutors say they’re damning. But guess what’s missing? Timestamps. Without them, those messages are just vague confessions floating in legal limbo. Did he send them from Orem, where the murder occurred? Or from St. George hours later? The answer could make or break the case.
And while Twiggs is reportedly cooperating with authorities, the defense is already preparing to drag discovery out for months, maybe even a year, before a preliminary hearing even happens.
The point is, this case isn’t open and shut. It should be, based on the horror of what happened. But in America, even the most cold-blooded acts have to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. If prosecutors can’t lock down this timeline, they might have a real problem on their hands.
