"Enough of his hatred" Roommate reveals moments before Robinson turned himself in

[0:02] All right, agent, I want to, I'm not going to go through every single message, but I do want to have you read aloud certain portions of them. [0:09] And I apologize to counsel, these are not actually given a page number. [0:15] I have page numbers, but I'm happy to confer that we're on the same page as we go. [0:21] So here we're looking at page one of State's Exhibit 16.1. [0:25] If you could start, if you could read a little more than halfway down where it begins Wednesday, 11 p.m., will you start reading underneath that? [0:39] Yes. [0:40] So this would have been from Tyler. [0:44] So drop what you're doing, look under your keyboard. [0:46] And I apologize, let me stop you there. [0:48] How do you know that that message would have been from Tyler Robinson? [0:52] That's just, so any of the messages in gray would be from Tyler, and the message in blue would be from Lance. [0:58] It's just the way the iPhone distinguishes the messages. [1:03] And also Lance, Lance in his interview also acknowledges that, who was saying what. [1:09] And up at the top, who do we see that this threat is between? [1:14] Tyler. [1:17] All right, sorry to interrupt you. [1:19] So read that again, starting from look under the keyboard. [1:23] So after that, then Lance responds, he says, what? [1:28] And then he says, you're joking, right? [1:30] And then Tyler says, fuck, I tried to delete that. [1:34] We could scroll down to page two. [1:40] And if you can continue reading along. [1:44] And Tyler says, I'm still okay, my love. [1:47] But I'm stuck in Orem for a little while longer yet. [1:50] Shouldn't be long until I can come home. [1:52] But gotta grab my rifle still. [1:55] To be honest, I had hoped to keep this secret until I died of old age. [1:58] I am sorry to involve you. [2:00] And then Lance replies, you weren't the one who did it, right? [2:05] And Tyler says, I am. [2:07] I'm sorry. [2:09] Lance says, I thought they caught the person. [2:13] And then Tyler says, no, they grabbed some crazy old dude and interrogated someone in similar clothing. [2:18] I had planned to grab my rifle from the drop point shortly after. [2:22] But most of that side of town got locked down. [2:26] It's quiet, almost enough to get out. [2:28] But there's one vehicle lingering. [2:30] We could scroll down to page three. [2:35] Continue reading. [2:37] Lance says, why? [2:39] And Tyler says, why did I do it? [2:41] And Lance says, yeah. [2:43] Tyler says, I had enough of his hatred. [2:45] Some hate can't be negotiated out. [2:47] If I'm able to grab my rifle, unseen, I will have left no evidence. [2:53] Going to attempt to retrieve it again. [2:55] Hopefully, they have moved on. [2:57] I haven't seen anything in the news about them finding it. [3:00] We'll update you shortly. [3:01] Or, Charlie, we'll update you by midnight. [3:04] And then Lance says, all right, stay safe. [3:06] How long have you been planning this? [3:09] Scroll down a little bit, please, Kimberly. [3:12] And Tyler replies, a bit over a week, I believe. [3:15] I can get close to it. [3:17] But there is a squad car parked right by it. [3:19] I think they already swept that spot. [3:21] But I don't want to chance it. [3:23] We can scroll down to page four and continue reading about halfway down. [3:31] I'll stop you about halfway down. [3:33] This is while they were, a spot. [3:35] But I don't want to chance it while they were parked there. [3:37] If they had found it, I imagine there would be more commotion. [3:41] Again, I'm sorry for roping you into all of this. [3:44] You shouldn't have to worry about this. [3:46] And Lance replies, does anyone else know? [3:50] Tyler says, not to my knowledge. [3:51] All right, I'll stop you there. [3:54] Let's move to page five. [3:56] So this should be page four. [3:57] So just scroll down one, please, Kimberly. [4:01] And if you could read starting, sorry, Kimberly, scroll a bit more down. [4:12] If you could read, I don't know, about one third of the way up that starts with guess. [4:20] Okay. [4:22] Tyler says, guess I'm just sitting in my car watching reels for another hour, hoping this guy fucks off. [4:30] And continue. [4:30] And Lance says, are you okay still? [4:34] And Tyler says, yes, check and spot again now. [4:37] We'll... [4:38] Sorry, now we're on page six. [4:41] Continue reading. [4:42] We'll update soon. [4:44] He continues, the squad car was moved further away, enough that I should be able to move in. [4:49] I backed off because I thought I heard footsteps, maybe a foot patrol, but the crickets here are so fucking loud. [4:57] Going to see if the road closer to campus is open so I can drive past and check shit out. [5:03] Probably still closed off though. [5:05] Getting worried, hard to know for sure, but I'm not finding my rifle. [5:09] Could be in the wrong spot. [5:11] Lance says, do you think they found it? [5:14] And Tyler says, don't know, they haven't published anything if they have. [5:20] And then Lance says, why did you leave it behind? [5:25] Oh, sorry. [5:25] Kimberly, if you could scroll down. [5:29] Originally. [5:30] Also, does it have a serial number? [5:33] We could scroll to page seven. [5:39] And I'll continue reading. [5:41] I'll stop you on this page in a little bit. [5:44] Okay. [5:45] So Tyler continues, IDEK, if it had a serial number but it wouldn't trace to me, I worry about prints. [5:57] I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. [6:01] Didn't have the ability or time to bring it with. [6:03] And stop there, please. [6:05] And then if we could go to the next page, page eight. [6:11] And if you could start at the top. [6:13] Okay, so Lance says, was your change of clothes there or was that also gone? [6:20] Or did you bring those with you originally? [6:23] Anyway, you could replace the gun or would he notice? [6:29] And then Tyler says, only thing I left was the rifle wrapped in a towel. [6:32] I'll bet that canine sniffed it out. [6:35] A little snitching bastard. [6:37] Replace it unlikely. [6:38] I don't fully know what the gun was because it was old as shit and Gramps did some modifying. [6:44] There was a four-digit serial on it. [6:47] God only knows who it's registered to. [6:50] Hopefully, some dead guy who gave it to Grandpa. [6:54] And he continues, remember how I was engraving bullets? [6:57] The fucking messages are mostly a big meme. [7:00] If I see notices, bulge, UWU on Fox News, I might have a stroke. [7:08] And then continue, I'll stop you in a moment. [7:10] He says, all right, I'm going to have to leave it. [7:12] That really fucking sucks. [7:14] Let me stop you there. [7:15] And then if we could go on to the next page, page nine. [7:22] And do you see the first blue message we see on page nine? [7:26] Can you start there? [7:27] Yes. [7:29] So Lance says, do you need it for hunting? [7:33] And Tyler says, no, my dad wanted to use it, to use a high caliber for the rifle hunt. [7:38] Judging from today, I say Gramps' gun does just fine, IDK. [7:43] I think that was a 2K scope. [7:49] Lance says, geez. [7:51] And then Tyler says, alum W, home, 3.5 hours. [7:57] Lance says, drive safe. [7:59] And then Tyler says, delete this exchange. [8:01] And I'll stop you right there. [8:03] And then, sorry, we're on page nine. [8:05] If we can scroll to page 15. [8:07] And then the second grade message on page 15, if you could start there. [8:29] Okay. [8:31] So this is Tyler. [8:32] I'm going to turn myself in willingly. [8:34] One of my neighbors here is a deputy for the sheriff. [8:37] We hope to keep things sort of quiet here. [8:40] And then I'll stop you there. [8:41] Okay. [8:41] And we can remove the exhibit from the screen. [8:45] Thank you, Kimberly.
