The purported "transcript" of texts [View all]

by Richardson raises serious questions. It strikes me as quite odd indeed that right after the supposed "confession" by Richardson that he had killed someone the conversation goes on in a matter of fact manner as though discussing going to the supermarket. One would expect an OMG sort of reaction in the immediate aftermath and not this sort of "reasoned" exchange we see in this transcript.

I am suspicious about all of this because now they are changing the story somewhat again and saying it was a tip from a family friend that brought this "surrender" and this seems to muddle the "went to Dad and Dad drove him and turned him in" story. But in any event we have not heard from the roommate themselves or from anybody else, as far as I have heard, that was actually involved in how this played out.

So the most accurate thing to say is that right now we have snippets of confusing and somewhat contradictory information and that what we do have is being given seems to support the "story" they wanted told from the beginning. I just don't buy that someone doesn't react in a more emotionally reactive way to having your roommate confess to having just committed a high profile killing.

Maybe before this is over we'll get told that Hack Patel tracked Robinson down and personally wrestled him into submission.

Robinson. WarGamer Sep 2025 #1
Don't see how who turned him in matters. Seems clear shooter's friend, pastor, maybe parents all helped him give up. Silent Type Sep 2025 #2

Yes indeed - it reads very strangely, almost like AI BoRaGard Sep 2025 #11
That was my impression as well. DFW Sep 2025 #14
Remember two investigations, State-Local & then Federal IbogaProject Sep 2025 #36
Lots of suspicion about the transcript, discussed online BlueWaveNeverEnd Sep 2025 #12
the texts are listed in the official charging document filed in court Celerity Sep 2025 #13
It doesn't mean the "transcript" moniss Sep 2025 #15
There is an extraordinarily low chance that the prosecutors would file false/tampered evidence with the charging docs. Celerity Sep 2025 #16
Whast have the prosecutors tried filing moniss Sep 2025 #17
Colour me extremely sceptical that they would invent or rewrite these messages in this extraordinarily high profile case Celerity Sep 2025 #18
I too am skeptical, but I'm constantly amazed at the chutzpah (and stupidity) of this administration. harumph Sep 2025 #19
But the Utah state prosecutors are not from the Trump administration. Celerity Sep 2025 #20
I suppose that is right - but interference possible? harumph Sep 2025 #23
There is almost zero chance they would risk blowing the case by putting in fake and/or wilfully altered evidence, Celerity Sep 2025 #24
The following is not a great source but some interesting points made nonetheless Wiz Imp Sep 2025 #31
And the witness' lawyer could immediately refute. TommyT139 Sep 2025 #22
Team Trump want to publicize the relationship with a person who is trans to 1/ Show that Robinson was from the left Doodley Sep 2025 #30

Thanks for posting facts TommyT139 Sep 2025 #38
If the roommate dies in custody or soon after, I will believe the texts are fake. They would have to otherwise threaten Doodley Sep 2025 #28
The roommate is not in custody. TommyT139 Sep 2025 #33
In that case, it seems unlikely the text messages have been faked by the authorities. Doodley Sep 2025 #39
