A psychological evaluation conducted after Robinson’s arrest portrays a troubled young man struggling with obsessive thinking, social isolation, and a high sensitivity to online affirmation. Despite these issues, the evaluation concludes that he was fully aware of his actions, capable of distinguishing right from wrong, and acting with clear premeditation. The prosecution plans to argue that his psychological vulnerabilities made him more susceptible to extremist influence, but did not impair his decision-making capacity.
Digital forensics have emerged as perhaps the most revealing component of the case. Cyber investigators are dissecting months of activity across encrypted messaging platforms, hidden online forums, anonymous social media accounts, and cloud-stored documents. Robinson’s online archives contain not only discussion threads but also personal writings that reveal ideological preoccupation, tactical planning, and a desire to create a “defining event.” Metadata suggests that Robinson consumed large amounts of extremist content, including political manifestos and materials glorifying political violence.
