Part 3/12:
DNA evidence plays a crucial role; samples from a towel wrapped around the firearm and from a screwdriver found nearby match Robinson’s profile, placing him at the scene. However, establishing a compelling motive remains critical. Police suggest Robinson was politically motivated, with reports indicating he had written a note before the attack expressing intent to target Kirk.
The FBI recovered the contents of the note, which was destroyed prior to their investigation, hinting at a possible direct link between Robinson’s political views and the shooting. Robinson’s refusal to cooperate complicates matters; he has not confessed or provided helpful information, necessitating reliance on forensic evidence.
