The Dremel Tool, Bullet Engravings, and Political Motive

At 29:44 · chapter starts 27:20

Clip 10 features Lance Twiggs describing how Robinson asked to borrow his Dremel tool about a month before September 10, saying he wanted to engrave messages on bullets ahead of a hunting trip. The next witness, ATF forensics agent Faumuina, pulls the actual cartridges from the recovered rifle and reads their engravings aloud for the court: 'Bella Ciao' — the famous Italian anti-fascist anthem — 'A Fascist,' a progression of arrows, and other political phrases. Blake points out that 'Bella Ciao' is specifically an anti-fascist song, and that these engravings reinforce the politically motivated assassination enhancement charge in a way the defense cannot easily dismiss. Graham Allen notes that while Robinson's religion and political beliefs being in conflict with Tyler Robinson's lifestyle was already in the record, the physical bullets make the argument visceral and concrete. Blake also recalls Robinson's text to Twiggs that 'some hate can't be negotiated out' — a phrase that Allen confirms was new testimony for the day.
