A letter allegedly written by Tyler Robinson appearing to show a confession to murdering conservative activist Charlie Kirk was briefly shown to the public Thursday during a court hearing, despite a judge’s prior order barring the document from being displayed before jury selection.

The disclosure occurred during a weeklong evidentiary hearing for Robinson, 23, who faces the death penalty if convicted of assassinating the Turning Point USA founder before a crowd at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025.
