Overview

• Utah County prosecutors emphasized a substantial discovery trove, citing DNA matches, a recovered Mauser .30-06 rifle, rooftop prints, surveillance video and incriminating text messages.
• Robinson’s attorneys filed a sweeping discovery motion seeking original digital files, 911 audio, bodycam transcripts, phone extractions, chain-of-custody records and forensic testing results.
• The discovery process formally began this week with prosecutors facing a five-day deadline for initial disclosures, and the defense obtained a 30-day delay of the waiver hearing.
• Two seasoned California capital defenders, Michael Burt and Richard Novak, were admitted to work with Utah lawyer Kathy Nester as Robinson attended court remotely.
• Legal experts say the prosecution’s timeline could be vulnerable, pointing to untimestamped texts and a reported post-shooting police encounter near the scene, while Robinson faces aggravated murder and other charges and is due back in court Oct. 30.
