This screenshot captures a Grok AI analysis of the Bates 003996-R2 exhibit, explaining what the exhibit is and why it is significant to the Mirandizing date controversy. The analysis was generated in the context of research into the Tyler Robinson case and the question of whether Robinson was Mirandized on September 11 or September 12, 2025.

Tyler Robinson is charged, not convicted. All references to his alleged conduct are allegations.

OCR Text (extracted from image)​

"Bates 003996-R2" is a Bates-stamped discovery exhibit (standard numbering used by the prosecution/Utah County Attorney's Office when producing large volumes of materials to the defense). It refers to a video recording (likely bodycam, stationhouse interview, or surveillance footage) of Tyler Robinson's encounter with law enforcement. The video shows him being read his Miranda rights at approximately 6:25 p.m. MDT on September 11, 2025 (with an internal video timestamp around 03:36:53 or similar, depending on the exact frame).

The exhibit has been referenced in recent defense filings and analysis (particularly around late March 2026) to highlight alleged timeline discrepancies: Robinson was already in custody and Mirandized (and reportedly invoked his right to counsel) hours before the official "surrender" narrative and a Discord confession message attributed to him. Podcaster/investigator Baron Coleman has prominently discussed and quoted from it in his coverage.

  • Miranda time: The video shows Robinson being read his rights at approximately 6:25 PM MDT on September 11, 2025.
  • Internal timestamp: The video's internal clock shows approximately 03:36:53, consistent with a UTC-offset from the actual wall-clock time.
  • Significance: Robinson allegedly invoked his right to counsel immediately after the Miranda reading — and the Discord messages attributed to him appeared hours later, after this Miranda encounter.
  • Coverage: Investigator Baron Coleman has publicly discussed and quoted from this exhibit in his reporting on the case.
