Tyler Robinson Hearing Focuses on Lance Twiggs' Testimony in Charlie Kirk Murder Case
Tyler Robinson faces a preliminary hearing over the 2025 fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. Central to the case is Lance Twiggs, Robinson's former roommate and partner, who was granted immunity for cooperating with investigators. Prosecutors presented video statements from Twiggs, DNA evidence, and a note allegedly confessing Robinson's intent. Defense challenges the evidence's reliability and opposes full public release of Twiggs' interview, citing fair trial concerns. The judge will decide if the case proceeds to trial.
