Summary
Lance Twiggs told a Utah preliminary hearing that Tyler Robinson confessed to killing Charlie Kirk in texts and in person, saying he wished he had not done it.
Prosecutors played a recorded interview in which Twiggs, who was granted immunity, recounted Robinson allegedly texting, “I am” after being asked if he was the shooter.
The hearing also highlighted the case’s mounting public cost: Robinson’s defense has requested another $2 million in state funding, and experts say total defense expenses could exceed $10 million.
Matthew Robinson, the suspect’s father, has continued running his southern Utah masonry business after helping turn his son in, with most clients reportedly staying despite the accusation.
