Your son has been arrested and the news media has all reported that your son confessed to you, you told a priest friend of yours, and that priest/retired Sheriff went to the authorities which is what led to your son’s arrest. But this is a lie and the FBI is setting your son up as a patsy.
Do you either:
A) Give an unrecorded statement to an unknown source for a conspiracy-minded conservative journalist/podcaster and do nothing else besides that; or
B) Sing from the rooftops and to every single possible news outlet you can find that your son is being setup in order to free him.
From the perspective of thinking that Tyler is innocent it makes a lot of sense to encourage him to turn himself in. It makes it less likely that he would get shoot during the arrest and also makes it less likely that someone else can shoot him in retaliation for allegedly shooting Charlie. He shouldn’t have any expectations of permanently being able to escape a manhunt either.
B) Sing from the rooftops and to every single possible news outlet you can find that your son is being setup in order to free him.
Do you think that’s what a lawyer would advise him to do as the most effective way to free his son? I doubt that’s the case. Standard legal advice is to not to talk to the media.
I’m not talking about the dad telling Robinson to turn himself in. I’m talking about police reporting that the father said Robinson confessed. That is a massive distinction and the fact that Candace Owens continues to focus on the ‘told him to turn himself in’ while ignoring the whole part about the dad reportedly saying his son confessed makes me distrust her reporting on this issue.
Also, I am a criminal attorney. I would have the father sign and swear to an affidavit attesting to the truth, and then circulate that to the news media and immediately file it with the Court as part of a bond motion. I would also have Robinson’s father testify at a bond hearing if possible. This is a routine practice of criminal defense attorneys. While this is an unusual situation, if Robinson truly was being setup by the FBI I would expect the next thing to happen is that he be killed in custody because the case clearly won’t stick if they’re making it up this bad.
I’m talking about police reporting that the father said Robinson confessed
The police didn’t do that. What they did say was:
On the evening of September 11, 2025 a family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend, who contacted the Washington County Sheriff’s Office with information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident.
A statement that news media can easily report as “Robinson confessed to his father” while they can still say in court that they never made that claim.
