Timing Discrepancy Note
UVU's first post cites ~12:10 PM; FBI/prosecutor timelines often use 12:23 PM. Researchers should reconcile against released security-camera metadata when available.
Laws (Charlie Kirk)
- UVU's internal social-media approval chain for September 10 posts, deleted drafts, and coordination messages with FBI public affairs are things that the Charlie Kirk Investigation Laws may result in powerful truths coming out that aren't out yet.
