Court Documents Reveal Confession Note Hand Written By Alleged Kirk Assassin

Court Documents Reveal Confession Note Hand Written By Alleged Kirk Assassin

In September of 2025, prosecutors in the Charlie Kirk murder case alleged that they had access to a hand-written note left by prime suspect Tyler Robinson for his trans boyfriend which contained a confession to the crime.  Tyler Robinson, 22, left a note under a keyboard for his roommate/romantic partner to discover, said Utah County Attorney Jeffrey Gray.   According to Mr Gray, the note said: “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I’m going to take it.”  Newly unsealed court documents now reveal that this letter does indeed exist.  An affidavit for a search warrant outlined a letter that Tyler Robinson allegedly wrote before Charlie Kirk’s assassination.  Robinson is accused of shooting and killing the conservative political activist on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University. Detectives seized ammunition, computers, a DNA sample, and a copy of a note that Robinson allegedly left for his roommate, with whom he had a romantic relationship.  The affidavit states that an FBI agent met with Robinson’s partner, Lance Twiggs, whom Robinson sometimes referred to as “Luna.”  …

Tennessee man sues BetMGM over alleged self-exclusion betting failures

Tennessee man sues BetMGM over alleged self-exclusion betting failures

A Nashville man has taken BetMGM to court in Tennessee, arguing the sportsbook let him continue gambling for years after he had formally asked to be blocked. The case, now in Davidson County Chancery Court, claims that the company failed to honor its own self-exclusion rules. Dilvar Tayip says he signed up for Tennessee’s voluntary self-exclusion list on June 16, 2021. On that same day, he also enrolled in BetMGM’s separate exclusion program. According to his amended petition, both were supposed to keep him from betting until June 16, 2026. Court filings describe Tayip as an experienced sports bettor who had previously seen financial success. Still, he decided in 2021 to step away from gambling entirely for five years. His lawsuit says the state removed him from its list earlier than expected, in May 2023, but insists that change should not have affected BetMGM’s independent restriction. He points directly to the company’s own policy, which states, “Self-exclusion is irrevocable and binding for the entire selected duration. Once a customer selects a self-exclusion period, it cannot …
