Prosecutors Grant Lance Twiggs Use-Immunity for April 20 Statement in Tyler Robinson Murder Case

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 17

Summary

  • A new court filing says Lance Twiggs received use-immunity for a recorded statement he gave authorities on April 20 in the Tyler Robinson death penalty case.
  • Prosecutors said the immunity means that specific statement cannot be used against Twiggs, while still allowing them to present the recording and his communications with Robinson at a July preliminary hearing.
  • Twiggs is identified in the filing as Robinson’s transgender roommate and romantic partner, placing him close to events surrounding the killing of Charlie Kirk.
  • The filing adds a new procedural detail to a capital case already drawing scrutiny over defense allegations of prosecutorial misconduct tied to media comments.
