00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.000
Caalarogu Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Reed Carter. Monday September fifteenth,
2
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.679
twenty twenty five, when we recorded our weekend shows about
3
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:21.239
American assassinations, Charlie Kirk's killer was still at large. Well
4
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.440
Friday night, while you were sleeping, the FBI found him
5
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.719
in a Nevada motel room with a manifesto, a bag
6
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:32.399
of cash, and the delusion he was a hero. Tyler Robinson,
7
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:37.719
twenty two years old, college dropout, political radical, and now
8
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:42.479
facing the death penalty in Utah, will break down his capture,
9
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.679
his pathetic manifesto, and why he thought murdering a conservative
10
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.840
speaker would make him a revolutionary instead of just another
11
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.000
loser with a gun. Plus, an Oregon murder suspect has
12
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.119
the most bizarre bond request I've ever seen. He wants
13
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.119
out to preserve evidence on the phone of the girlfriend
14
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.640
he allegedly killed and Brian Walsh, who definitely didn't murder
15
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.519
his wife despite googling how to dispose of a one
16
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.120
hundred and fifteen pound body just got stabbed in prison.
17
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:19.120
Turns out even murderers have standards. This is celebrity trials.
18
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:24.200
Tyler Robinson was arrested early Friday morning at two forty
19
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:28.239
seven AM at a motel six in Henderson, Nevada. The
20
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:32.200
news broke while most of America was having their morning coffee.
21
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:36.640
Three days after assassinating Charlie Kirk, three days of manhunt,
22
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.680
three days of him thinking he'd gotten away with it.
23
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.799
He hadn't. The FBI tracked him through the oldest mistake
24
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.719
in the book. He used his credit card. This genius,
25
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.959
this revolutionary mastermind, used his own credit card to buy
26
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:56.560
gas in Saint George, Utah, Thursday afternoon, then again in Mesquite, Nevada,
27
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.439
Thursday evening, then for the motel room Thursday night. He
28
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:03.319
planned a political assassination for months, but didn't think to
29
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:07.319
use cash. This is your hero political extremists, a twenty
30
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:11.719
two year old who doesn't understand basic fugitive principles. When
31
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:15.319
the FBI breached his motel room at two forty seven am,
32
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.759
Robinson was awake on his laptop writing adding to his
33
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.919
manifesto in the middle of the night, because apparently murdering
34
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:28.360
someone for their politics requires extensive documentation that can't wait
35
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:33.080
until morning. He surrendered immediately, no shootout, no resistance, just
36
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:35.840
hands up crying, saying I didn't mean for it to
37
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.719
happen like this, didn't mean for what to happen. You
38
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.080
positioned yourself on a roof with a rifle, you aimed
39
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.639
at a man's head, You pulled the trigger. What did
40
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.879
you think would happen? Confetti? The manifesto, and I've seen
41
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.919
excerpts is exactly what you'd expect from a twenty two
42
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.439
year old who thinks violence equals virtue. One hundred and
43
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.199
fifty six pages of grievance, quotes from Mark's Chay Gavara
44
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:06.840
and bizarrely, Harry Potter, because nothing says serious political revolutionary
45
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.400
like quoting Dumbledore next to your murder confession. He called
46
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:14.639
Kirk a propagandist, poisoning young minds, said he was stopping
47
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:18.039
the spread of fascism, claimed he was willing to sacrifice
48
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:23.520
everything for progress. You sacrificed nothing. You took everything from
49
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.159
Charlie Kirk, from his wife, from his children, and for
50
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.639
what your manifesto That reads like a college freshman's political
51
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:35.240
science paper if the freshman was failing. Robinson's background is
52
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:39.599
pathetically predictable. Middle class family in Colorado dropped out of
53
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.759
UC Boulder after one semester, worked at a coffee shop,
54
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.280
lived with his parents, spent sixteen hours a day online
55
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.479
in political echo chambers. His parents released a statement, we
56
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:56.080
are devastated. We had no idea Tyler was passionate about politics,
57
00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:00.560
but we never imagined violence. They never do. Parents never
58
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.479
imagine their kid posting revolutionary memes in their childhood bedroom
59
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:09.159
would actually pick up a gun. Robinson's online history tells
60
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:13.159
the story started with normal political posts in twenty twenty,
61
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.480
by twenty twenty three calling for action not words, by
62
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:23.160
twenty twenty four, posting about necessary violence and revolutionary sacrifice.
63
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.480
The FBI found his planning materials, surveillance photos of Kirk
64
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.720
from six different events, maps of Utah Valley University dated
65
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:36.120
three months ago, a journal detailing Kirk's speaking schedule, practice
66
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.160
shooting records from a range in Denver. Books on sniper
67
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.480
tactics ordered from Amazon Amazon. He ordered assassination guides from
68
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.360
Amazon with prime shipping. Probably, But here's what really gets me.
69
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:52.680
Robinson thought he'd be celebrated. His manifesto talks about inspiring others,
70
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:56.639
about being remembered as a hero, about statues in his honor.
71
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:01.439
No statues. Tyler just a cell than an Utah has
72
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.560
the death penalty, and they use it for assassins. His lawyer,
73
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.839
public defender, Sarah Martinez, is already floating the mental health defense,
74
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:16.120
claims Robinson has undiagnosed disorders and was radicalized online. Radicalized online,
75
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:21.360
he radicalized himself. Nobody forced him to consume extremist content
76
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.199
for hours. Nobody made him by a rifle. Nobody pulled
77
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:29.360
the trigger but him. The judge denied bail, obviously called
78
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:34.600
Robinson an extreme danger to society and specifically to conservative speakers.
79
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:41.399
Robinson cried at the hearing, actually cried, the revolutionary assassin,
80
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.680
reduced to tears because jail is uncomfortable. You know who else?
81
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.720
Cried Kirk's four year old daughter when she asked why
82
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.000
daddy isn't coming home. Kerk's six year old son at
83
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:56.560
the funeral, Kirk's widow every night since Wednesday. But Robinson's
84
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.800
tears are supposed to matter. His mental health is the concern.
85
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:04.720
He's the victim of online radicalization. No, he's a murderer,
86
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.399
a coward who shot an unarmed man from a distance,
87
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.560
A nobody who killed to somebody to feel important. Tyler
88
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.879
Robinson twenty two thought he was starting a revolution. Instead,
89
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.839
he's ending his life in a Utah prison. The manifesto
90
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.839
he thought would inspire millions will be evidence at his trial.
91
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:27.160
The hero's reception he expected will be replaced by lethal injection.
92
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:32.519
Charlie Kirk is still dead, his children still fatherless, his
93
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.800
wife still widowed. But at least his killer is caught.
94
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.240
At least Robinson will face justice. At least this particular
95
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:44.360
monster is in a cage. The revolution Tyler Robinson wanted.
96
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:52.560
It's not coming, just as execution. Now to Oregon, where
97
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:56.000
murder suspect Cameron Mitchell has made possibly the most audacious
98
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.560
bond request in legal history. Mitchell, twenty eight, is charged
99
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:04.959
with murdering his girlfriend, Ashley Pond, twenty six. She was
100
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.319
found dead in their Portland apartment August fifteenth, strangled. Mitchell
101
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:12.040
called nine one one, claiming he found her that way
102
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.040
after returning from a coffee run. A coffee run at
103
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.560
three am, because everyone needs a latte at three am.
104
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:22.519
The prosecution's case is strong. Neighbors heard fighting until two
105
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:26.160
forty five am. Mitchell has scratches on his face and arms,
106
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.079
Ashley's blood under his fingernails. Security footage shows he never
107
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.759
left the building. The coffee shop he claimed to visit
108
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.279
was closed. But here's where it gets bizarre. Mitchell's attorney
109
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.680
filed a motion for bond with this argument, Ashley's phone
110
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.800
contains evidence that could exonerate his client, but it's locked.
111
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.600
They need Mitchell out to preserve and access this evidence.
112
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.000
Let me translate, they want Mitchell out so he can
113
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.399
unlock his dead girlfriend's phone and probably delete the evidence
114
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:58.279
of abuse she documented. The motion actually states, mister Mitchell
115
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.800
knows the passcode to miss pond On's phone, which contains
116
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.800
crucial evidence. This evidence may degrade or be lost if
117
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:10.160
not properly preserved. Evidence doesn't degrade on a locked phone,
118
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.600
it sits there waiting. What degrades is Mitchell's story when
119
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:19.639
that phone is unlocked by forensics. Prosecutor Janet Williams responded, beautifully,
120
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.959
the defendant wants bail to tamper with evidence. He's literally
121
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.199
asking permission to destroy proof of his guilt. But Mitchell's attorney,
122
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:32.840
David Chen doubled down, claims there are time sensitive materials
123
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:38.279
on the phone, like what disappearing texts, evaporating photos, self
124
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:41.919
deleting proof of domestic violence. The real reason they want
125
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.120
that phone unlocked. Ashley's friend testified she helped Ashley document
126
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.440
the abuse, photos of bruises, recordings of threats, a digital
127
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.200
diary of domestic violence. Mitchell knows what's on that phone.
128
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.360
That's why he wants out, not to preserve evidence, to
129
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:03.720
destroy it. The judge's response was perfect, mister, Chen, are
130
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.000
you seriously arguing your client should be released to handle
131
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:10.440
evidence in his own murder case? Do you understand how
132
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.960
that sounds. Chen tried to argue it would be supervised,
133
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.120
Mitchell would unlock the phone in the presence of officers,
134
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:21.360
right because no one has ever deleted things quickly because
135
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:26.200
the delete button doesn't exist. The motion was denied. Obviously,
136
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:29.720
Mitchell remains in jail on no bond, as he should.
137
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.720
But the audacity the sheer balls to ask a judge
138
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.159
to let you out to preserve evidence on the phone
139
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:39.799
of the woman you allegedly strangled. Ashley Pond was a
140
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.679
teacher second grade, had twenty four seven year olds who
141
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:47.799
loved her, was planning to leave Mitchell. Her sister testified
142
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:51.240
to that was documenting abuse to get a restraining order.
143
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.759
Now she's dead and her killer wants access to her
144
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.799
phone to help with evidence. Cameron Mitchell thought he was smart,
145
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.080
thought that coffee sh jop alibi would work. Thought those
146
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:05.919
scratches were from moving furniture. Thought Ashley's phone would stay
147
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.720
locked forever. He was wrong. The phone will be unlocked
148
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.600
by forensics, the evidence will be preserved, and Mitchell will
149
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:17.120
spend his life in prison wondering how his three a m.
150
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:22.600
Coffee run story didn't work. Ashley Pond deserved better than
151
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.559
dying at twenty six. Her students deserve their teacher, her
152
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.639
family deserved her future. Instead, they get to watch her
153
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:34.639
killer make ridiculous bond motions about preserving evidence he wants
154
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:38.559
to destroy. Justice for Ashley is coming, just not the
155
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:46.039
way Cameron Mitchell planned. Will be right back with Brian Walsh,
156
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:49.480
who learned that even in prison, nobody likes a wife killer.
157
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:06.440
Brian Walsh is having a bad week. Actually he's been
158
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.000
having a bad year and a half, but this week
159
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:12.600
got worse when fellow inmates at MCI Norfolk decided to
160
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:17.240
give him some jailhouse justice. Thursday night, Walsh was stabbed
161
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:22.360
three times in the prison shower. Survived. Unfortunately, now he's
162
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:25.840
in protective custody. Because apparently murdering your wife makes you
163
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:29.559
unpopular in prison. Let me remind you about Brian Walsh,
164
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.799
because this is a special kind of evil. January first,
165
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.759
twenty twenty three, Anna Walsh, mother of three boys ages two, four,
166
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:42.720
and six, disappears. Brian doesn't report her missing until January fourth,
167
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.120
three days later, claims she left for a work emergency
168
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.320
in DC. But here's where Brian Walsh proved he's the
169
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.879
stupidest murderer we've covered this month. He sat at his
170
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.440
computer and typed into Google how long before a body
171
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:00.480
starts to smell? Then he searched how to di dispose
172
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.559
of a one hundred and fifteen pound woman's body on
173
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.960
a weighed one hundred and fifteen pounds. Next, search how
174
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.840
to clean blood from wooden floor? Their basement had wooden floors.
175
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.679
He kept going what happens when you put body parts
176
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:19.399
in ammonia? Then, showing he was thinking about his options.
177
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.080
Best state to divorce for a man, he googled murdering
178
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.639
his wife step by step like he was following a
179
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.000
recipe for banana bread. Then he did it. Then he
180
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.200
googled how to cover it up. Anna's body has never
181
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.519
been found but prosecutors found plenty in those ten trash bags.
182
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:40.840
Brian tried to dispose of blood in the basement, a
183
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:44.519
bloody knife in the bedroom, her COVID vaccination card cut
184
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:47.879
up into little pieces like confetti of guilt. They found
185
00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:52.399
a hacksaw, a hatchet, enough cleaning supplies to disinfect a hospital,
186
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.200
all stuffed in trash bags like the world's most incriminating
187
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:00.000
garbage day. Brian's story kept changing faster than a teenage
188
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.720
major's excuse for missing curfew. First Anna went to d
189
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:06.519
C for work. Then he remembered, maybe she went to
190
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:10.240
her mother's. Oh wait, possibly she had a secret boyfriend
191
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:13.759
he just remembered. Finally, he just didn't remember when he
192
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:17.360
last saw the mother of his three children. The real story,
193
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:21.840
Brian owed money, mountains of it. He was about to
194
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:25.159
be sentenced for art fraud. This genius had been selling
195
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:29.360
fake warhols. Anna was the breadwinner, bringing home real money
196
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:33.159
while Brian was painting fake masterpieces. Her life insurance was
197
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.360
worth two point seven million dollars. So he killed her,
198
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.960
dismembered her, disposed of her, and googled every step like
199
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:44.879
he was afraid he'd forget. His trial is set for
200
00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:48.720
October twenty twenty six. Was supposed to be this October,
201
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.320
but got delayed because Brian keeps firing lawyers. He's on
202
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.000
his fourth legal team. Apparently it's hard to find attorneys
203
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.600
who want to defend a man who googled his murder plans.
204
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:03.639
But Thursday, inmates decided not to wait for trial. Three
205
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:09.639
puncture wounds delivered with prison precision abdomen, shoulder, neck, Not
206
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:12.759
deep enough to kill, just deep enough to send a
207
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:16.840
message that echoed through the cell block. Prison has a hierarchy.
208
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:22.240
Everyone understands. Child molesters live at the bottom, afraid to shower,
209
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.960
afraid to eat, afraid to breathe wrong. Wife killers sit
210
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:30.279
just above them, slightly higher on the food chain, but
211
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:35.840
still prey. Cop killers their royalty. Bank robbers get respect,
212
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:40.320
drug dealers get left alone, but wife killers they get
213
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:44.519
shanked in showers. The attack was choreographed like a violent ballet.
214
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.399
Three inmates working in concert one distracted the guard with
215
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.279
questions about Commissary two. Did the stabbing with weapons fashioned
216
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.879
from god knows what quick efficient message delivered in under
217
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.840
thirty seconds. Walsh's attorney, Tracing, is crying about it like
218
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.879
her client is the victim here. My client was viciously attacked.
219
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:11.399
He needs protection. This is cruel and unusual punishment. Cruel.
220
00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:15.080
Brian googled how to dispose of his wife's one hundred
221
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:19.559
and fifteen pound body while she was probably still warm. Unusual.
222
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:23.399
He hacked up the mother of his children and distributed
223
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:27.399
her in dumpsters across Massachusetts like he was delivering terrible packages.
224
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:32.519
But three stab wounds are cruel and unusual. Anna Walsh
225
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:35.919
was thirty nine, a regional manager for a DC real
226
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.639
estate company who actually earned money instead of painting fake art.
227
00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:43.120
Mother of three boys who still ask where mommy went.
228
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:47.039
Those boys don't understand that daddy turned mommy into Google
229
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:50.639
searches and garbage bags. They just know she didn't come home.
230
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:56.879
Brian's in protective custody, now solitary confinement, twenty three hours
231
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.759
a day, staring at white walls, one hour for e
232
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:03.080
X exercise in a cage, no contact with other inmates,
233
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:05.600
no one to talk to except the voices in his
234
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:09.480
head that probably sound like Google search suggestions. That's his
235
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:15.960
life until trial, then if convicted, that's his life forever alone, afraid,
236
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.279
knowing that every time he leaves that cell someone might
237
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.759
be waiting with a sharpened toothbrush handle. The inmates who
238
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.799
stabbed him, they'll get time added to their sentences, thirty
239
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:31.639
days in the hole, maybe sixty. They don't care. In prison,
