Prosecutors Plan to Play Redacted Statements From Roommate of Defendant in Charlie Kirk's Killing
Prosecutors say the interview may show Tyler Robinson’s roommate describing the killing, while defense lawyers argue public release would prejudice the case.

- Fearing public statements would undermine Robinson's right to a fair trial, defense attorneys fought against releasing Twiggs' statements, while attorney Jeffrey Neiman urged State District Judge Tony Graf to ensure judicial transparency.
- State District Judge Tony Graf will decide at the conclusion of this week's preliminary hearing if prosecutors have sufficient evidence to bring Robinson to trial for aggravated murder.
