Charlie Kirk murder suspect told roommate 'he wishes he hadn't done it', court hears
Key Points:
- Tyler Robinson, 23, is facing charges related to the death of a conservative activist on September 10, 2025, with prosecutors presenting evidence to determine if the case will proceed to trial and potentially involve the death penalty.
- Testimony revealed that Robinson requested an engraving tool months before the shooting, claiming it was for inscribing bullets for a family camping and hunting trip, though his roommate Twiggs did not share these interests.
- On the day of the shooting, Robinson left early and later texted Twiggs from near the Utah Valley University campus, mentioning he had left his rifle in nearby bushes and expressing concern about police presence and a sniffer dog.
- Robinson also informed Twiggs that he was leaving Orem, which is over three hours away from their St. George apartment, and later admitted to Twiggs that the texts were true, expressing regret and emotional distress over the incident.
- Portions of video and text evidence were redacted or restricted to courtroom viewing only, while Twiggs' interview showed him calmly recounting events during questioning by prosecutor Ryan McBride.
