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.
- On Thursday, Utah prosecutors plan to play audio clips in open court of law enforcement officials interviewing Lance Twiggs, the roommate of Tyler Robinson, who is accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
- Prosecutors allege Robinson shot and killed Kirk, a close ally of President Donald Trump, on September 10 at Utah Valley University while the activist addressed a crowd of thousands.
- Defense lawyer Michael Burt questioned the reliability of DNA testing linking Robinson to the murder weapon, though forensics expert Lawrence Quarino testified that FBI tests are "extremely reliable."
- 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.
