- Text messages presented in court showed Robinson allegedly confessed to the shooting and discussed preparations, including engraving bullets with messages using a Dremel tool.
- Twiggs, who cooperates with investigators and was Robinson's roommate and lover, provided key testimony via video, including details about Robinson's behavior before and after the shooting.
- The preliminary hearing is ongoing, with Judge Tony Graf Jr. postponing a decision to September 1 to allow both sides to file briefs before ruling on whether the case proceeds to trial.
- Robinson has not entered a plea and faces potential capital punishment if convicted for the sniper killing of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University nearly a year ago.
