Twiggs told the prosecutor he had never heard Robinson talk about Kirk before the shooting, and when they talked about politics, it usually focused on President Trump and current events.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Twiggs said that when he saw Robinson on Sept. 12, the day after the shooting, he was walking &#8220;around a lot&#8221; within their apartment. Twiggs said he asked &#8220;if what he said was true the night before.&#8221; Robinson &#8220;said it was,&#8221; Twiggs said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He &#8220;started crying a little bit and said he wishes he hadn&#8217;t done it,&#8221; Twiggs said in the interview. Robinson then resumed pacing and &#8220;doing stuff, I think just to keep himself busy or distracted or something,&#8221; Twiggs said. Twiggs said he left the apartment shortly after because Robinson told him he was going to turn himself in, and he didn&#8217;t want to be there &#8220;regardless of what went down.&#8221; Robinson turned himself in later on Sept. 12.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/09\/271ec391-475b-49ab-9f34-498c5ad860ad\/thumbnail\/620x401\/33d026c189d7e16fdf63f87e9f61445e\/screenshot-2026-07-09-at-2-25-15-pm.png#\" alt=\"screenshot-2026-07-09-at-2-25-15-pm.png \" height=\"401\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/07\/09\/271ec391-475b-49ab-9f34-498c5ad860ad\/thumbnail\/620x401\/33d026c189d7e16fdf63f87e9f61445e\/screenshot-2026-07-09-at-2-25-15-pm.png 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Lance Twiggs, left, the former roommate of Tyler Robinson, speaks to a Utah prosecutor during an interview.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CourtTV<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Twiggs spoke to authorities later that same day, and again on April 20.

Attorneys for the media and for Kirk&#8217;s widow, Erika, who has attended this week&#8217;s hearing, had urged the judge to make Twiggs&#8217; statements and other evidence public.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To not be transparent, to not be open and let the world see what happened will create doubt and distrust in the judicial system,&#8221; Kirk family lawyer Jeffrey Neiman told Graf Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Neiman filed a request late Wednesday for all evidence against Robinson to be displayed openly and in real time during this week&#8217;s hearing. Neiman wrote that Erika Kirk and Kirk&#8217;s parents had waited 10 months for the hearing but at times have been denied the chance &#8220;to meaningfully observe&#8221; it.<\/p>\n<p>The judge said in response that not all evidence would be openly displayed and he needs to protect the rights of both victims and the defendant. There were some redactions in the video played, including when the prosecutor appeared to be showing Twiggs images of the note and messages from Robinson.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Investigators say Robinson went to a rooftop near where Kirk was speaking and shot him once through the neck as the activist was taking questions from a crowd of several thousand people. Kirk was declared dead after being taken to a hospital. Investigators found the suspected murder weapon \u2014 a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/charlie-kirks-tyler-robinson-lawyers-question-bullet-rifle-link\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">bolt-action rifle<\/a><\/span> with one spent round \u2014 wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near where Kirk was shot.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Robinson&#8217;s attorneys have not commented on his guilt or innocence but have <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/charlie-kirk-murder-case-prosecutor-comments-contempt-death-penalty\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">sought to get the death penalty<\/a><\/span> taken off the table, so far unsuccessfully.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson has sat quietly through the hearing.
