Suspect in Charlie Kirk Killing Said ‘He Wishes He Hadn’t Done It,’ Roommate Says in Video
A video played in court shows Tyler Robinson saying he wished he had not done it as judges weigh whether prosecutors have enough evidence for trial.
- On Thursday, State District Judge Tony Graf blocked portions of video testimony from Lance Twiggs, Tyler Robinson's roommate, during the preliminary hearing in Provo, Utah.
- Robinson is accused of the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University in September; prosecutors allege Robinson left a note stating, "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it."
- Earlier this week, defense lawyers questioned the reliability of DNA testing linking Robinson to the murder weapon and towel, while forensics expert Lawrence Quarino countered that agencies use "extremely reliable" tests.
- Kirk family lawyer Jeffrey Neiman told Judge Graf on Wednesday that restricting evidence access creates "doubt and distrust in the judicial system," citing the family's denial of the chance "to meaningfully observe" proceedings.
- State District Judge Tony Graf will decide at the conclusion of this week's hearing if prosecutors have sufficient evidence to bring Robinson to trial for aggravated murder; the defendant remains in custody without entering a plea.
