Theory Briefing

  • Robinson's defense attorney Michael Burt repeatedly challenged evidence reliability without proposing any rival account of Kirk's death.
  • The strategy bets entirely on juror doubt rather than a competing narrative — a high-stakes courtroom gamble.
  • Offering no alternative theory keeps the defense from being pinned down, but risks leaving jurors with nothing to anchor an acquittal.
