Charlie Kirk assassination suspect expressed regret after shooting, roommate says
Lance Twiggs told investigators Robinson said he wished he had not done it after the shooting, as judges weigh evidence for trial.
- Lance Twiggs, romantic partner of defendant Tyler Robinson, told prosecutors Robinson admitted to shooting Charlie Kirk and expressed regret, according to recordings played in a Utah courtroom on Thursday.
- Kirk was fatally shot in the neck on September 10, 2025, while taking questions at Utah Valley University, prompting Robinson to turn himself in one day later.
- State District Judge Tony Graf ruled Wednesday against full public display of evidence, citing the need to protect both victims' and defendant's rights despite family lawyer Jeffrey Neiman's argument that secrecy creates "doubt and distrust in the judicial system."
- Defense attorneys challenged DNA evidence linking Robinson to the weapon, but forensics expert Lawrence Quarino testified that testing is the "gold standard in forensic science," directly countering the defense's reliability concerns.
- Judge Graf will decide at week's end whether prosecutors have sufficient evidence to bring Robinson to trial for aggravated murder, a determination coming after the family waited 10 months for this hearing.
