GOP Senator: Judge In Charlie Kirk Case Made ‘Damning’ Confession
Preliminary hearings in Robinson’s case continued Thursday, July 9. Robinson is charged with murdering Kirk, who was fatally shot on Sept. 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University during a debate event.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, meaning Robinson could face capital punishment if he is convicted at trial.
That includes statements made to the court by Lance Twiggs, the former trans lover of murder suspect Tyler Robinson.
In addition to key motions from both the prosecution and the defense, the testimony from witnesses has also included some surprises
During Thursday’s preliminary hearing, prosecutors played portions of a recorded interview with Twiggs.
According to the recording, Twiggs described Robinson’s return to their shared apartment in St. George, Utah, the morning after the shooting, recounting statements Robinson allegedly made about the incident as well as his behavior and actions in the hours that followed.
Twiggs testified that Robinson left their shared apartment unusually early on the morning of Sept. 10, departing around 4 or 5 a.m. after saying he had a long drive to an electrician job. Advertisement According to Twiggs, the two did not communicate again until late that night, when Robinson sent him a text message instructing him to look underneath his keyboard.
The interview, conducted in April 2026 under a grant of use immunity, focused on events following the Sept. 10, 2025, fatal shooting of Kirk at Utah Valley University
More text messages from Robinson that evening referenced targeting Kirk because he “had enough of his hatred” and added that “some hate can’t be negotiated out.”
