Summary

  • Lance Twiggs told a Utah preliminary hearing that Tyler Robinson confessed to killing Charlie Kirk in texts and in person, saying he wished he had not done it.
  • Prosecutors played a recorded interview in which Twiggs, who was granted immunity, recounted Robinson allegedly texting, “I am” after being asked if he was the shooter.
  • The hearing also highlighted the case’s mounting public cost: Robinson’s defense has requested another $2 million in state funding, and experts say total defense expenses could exceed $10 million.
  • Matthew Robinson, the suspect’s father, has continued running his southern Utah masonry business after helping turn his son in, with most clients reportedly staying despite the accusation.
