Tyler Robinson is accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah, and a court hearing includes testimony from Robinson’s former roommate and romantic partner, Lance Twiggs. Multiple outlets report that a recorded police/prosecutor interview played in court features Twiggs describing what Robinson said after the shooting. According to the accounts, Twiggs told authorities that Robinson expressed regret and said he “wished he hadn’t done it” the day after Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University while speaking to a large crowd.
The reports also include testimony from Twiggs that he and Robinson did not frequently discuss politics, stating he personally had not heard Robinson talk about Charlie Kirk before the killing. An additional point mentioned by several outlets is that Twiggs said he saw Robinson the day after the killing. The video interview is presented in court as part of the case, with prosecutors relying on Twiggs’ statements about Robinson’s alleged comments and surrounding circumstances.
