The Psychology Behind the Alleged Charlie Kirk Assassin

The Psychology Behind the Alleged Charlie Kirk Assassin

This wasn’t a moment of rage. According to prosecutors, it was a calculated, deliberate act: a long gun, a rooftop, and a public figure in the crosshairs.

In this powerful and deeply psychological episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist and forensic behavioral expert Shavaun Scott to examine the disturbing case of Tyler James Robinson, the man charged with murdering Charlie Kirk in front of a crowd at Utah Valley University.

Authorities allege Robinson left behind a handwritten note, confessed to the act in a text message, and planned the shooting for over a week. Prosecutors are calling it ideologically motivated, and they’re seeking the death penalty.

But this isn’t just about what allegedly happened. It’s about how people get there.
What makes someone move from grievance to violence? From obsession to execution? From believing in a cause to believing that murder is justified?

Together, Tony and Shavaun break down the psychology of targeted violence, including:


  • The mindset behind planned attacks vs. spontaneous rage


  • What the term “leakage” means—and how it shows up in text messages and online behavior


  • Why offenders often see themselves as heroes, protectors, or martyrs


  • The role of digital radicalization, algorithmic echo chambers, and identity reinforcement


  • The symbolism of engraved weapons, public executions, and post-crime behavior


  • What institutions, families, and friends can realistically do to stop the next shooter

This interview dives deep into the dark corners of obsession, warning signs, and the narratives people build around violence. It’s not about sensationalism—it’s about understanding the patterns, so we can finally learn how to stop them.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How could no one see this coming?”—this is the conversation you need to hear.

Donna Adelson Trial | Hitman Luis Rivera Testifies: "Wendi Wanted Dan Dead"

Donna Adelson Trial | Hitman Luis Rivera Testifies: "Wendi Wanted Dan Dead"

Donna Adelson Trial | Hitman Luis Rivera Testifies: "Wendi Wanted Dan Dead" In this explosive courtroom clip from the trial of Donna Adelson, convicted hitman Luis Rivera takes the stand to describe his firsthand role in the murder of Florida State law professor Dan Markel. Rivera, already serving time for his part in the 2014 ambush-style killing, doesn’t hold back as he walks the jury through the planning, surveillance, and ultimate execution of the murder—bluntly stating that “Wendi wanted her husband dead.” According to Rivera, he and his partner Sigfredo Garcia traveled from Miami to Tallahassee, tracking Markel for days. Rivera drove the car while Garcia pulled the trigger. He says the money they were paid—bundles of crisp hundred-dollar bills—came from the Adelson family, though he adds a surprising twist: he believed Wendi Adelson was behind the murder, not Donna or her son Charlie. This admission, while helping the prosecution connect the murder to the family, also opens a door for the defense to create reasonable doubt about Donna Adelson’s direct involvement. Rivera’s testimony is critical to the state's case. Not only does it put the Adelson family at the center of the murder-for-hire plot, but it also injects a level of uncertainty that the defense can exploit. The courtroom was tense as Rivera spoke, his words sometimes mumbled, but his message clear: this wasn’t a random act—it was a calculated hit driven by family tensions and custody battles. Whether jurors believe Rivera is telling the whole truth remains to be seen, but this raw footage is essential viewing for anyone following this high-profile trial. #DonnaAdelson #LuisRiveraTestimony #DanMarkelMurder #WendiAdelson #CharlieAdelson #TrueCrimeCourtroom #MurderForHire #FloridaTrial #RawCourtroomVideo #AdelsonFamily Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson Trial | Crime Scene Detective Craig Isom Breaks Down Hitman Surveillance

Donna Adelson Trial | Crime Scene Detective Craig Isom Breaks Down Hitman Surveillance

Donna Adelson Trial | Crime Scene Detective Craig Isom Breaks Down Hitman Surveillance  In this raw and riveting courtroom moment, Tallahassee Police Department Detective Craig Isom steps into the spotlight to reveal chilling details from the investigation into Dan Markel’s murder. His testimony on Day 3 of the Donna Adelson trial centers around the movements of the alleged hitmen and their connection to the Adelson family’s finances. Isom painstakingly walked the jury through surveillance footage and cell tower data, showing how Luis Rivera and Sigfredo Garcia stalked Markel across Tallahassee in the hours leading up to the murder. He pointed out critical timestamps and explained how the suspects’ rental car—tracked through video and data—circled Markel’s neighborhood multiple times before the fatal shooting. But the truly damning part? Isom analyzed the payroll records from the Adelson family dental business, linking Charlie Adelson to cash withdrawals around the time the hitmen were paid. It's a detail that, when paired with Rivera's earlier testimony, starts to outline a money trail prosecutors say leads straight to the Adelson matriarch. This testimony matters because it ties the physical evidence—the car, the movements, the timing—directly to the financial transactions at the heart of the alleged murder-for-hire conspiracy. Isom’s methodical breakdown transforms vague suspicions into a timeline that could prove devastating for the defense. Watch as Detective Isom lays out the blueprint of a calculated execution and the alleged paper trail that could bring Donna Adelson down. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #CraigIsom #DanMarkelCase #HitmanSurveillance #TrueCrimeFlorida #AdelsonPayroll #CharlieAdelson #MurderInvestigation #RawTrialVideo #CrimeSceneTestimony Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson Trial | Medical Examiner Details Fatal Shots in Dan Markel Murder

Donna Adelson Trial | Medical Examiner Details Fatal Shots in Dan Markel Murder

Donna Adelson Trial | Medical Examiner Details Fatal Shots in Dan Markel Murder  In this powerful courtroom footage, Dr. Anthony J. Clark, the medical examiner who conducted the autopsy of Dan Markel, offers jurors a stark look at the brutal reality of what happened that day in July 2014. His calm, clinical voice cuts through the tension in the room as he describes, in precise detail, the gunshot wounds that ended the life of the beloved Florida State law professor. Dr. Clark testifies that Markel suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head, with bruising and swelling consistent with being shot at close range while seated in his car. The medical findings corroborate the timeline described by earlier witnesses and match the narrative that Markel was ambushed in his driveway in broad daylight. Though not sensational, this testimony is vital. It brings the jury back to the victim—reminding them that this isn't just a conspiracy theory or financial puzzle. A man was murdered. A father, son, and professor was taken down in cold blood. And whoever orchestrated it had one goal: to ensure he never walked away. Prosecutors are using Dr. Clark’s testimony to reinforce the method and manner of death, bolstering the idea that this was an intentional, premeditated execution. For the defense, there’s little to challenge here—but the emotional weight of this segment may be the one jurors remember most when deliberations begin. Watch as the science behind the crime speaks for itself. #DanMarkelAutopsy #MedicalExaminerTestimony #DonnaAdelsonTrial #FloridaCrime #MurderTrialVideo #DrAnthonyClark #GunshotWounds #TrueCrimeCourt #RawCourtroomClip #MarkelHomicide Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
