Damning Recording of Alleged Charlie Kirk Assassin’s Former Lover Shown in Court

Damning Recording of Alleged Charlie Kirk Assassin’s Former Lover Shown in Court

A recording of Lance Twiggs, the former lover of alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson, was played in court on Thursday.

His version of the story is devastating to Robinson’s defense.

According to Twiggs, Robinson basically admitted to murdering Kirk and supposedly came to regret his decision before turning himself in.

FOX News has details:

Tyler Robinson allegedly admitted to assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk in text messages to his roommate after the Sept. 10, 2025, shooting, apologized for his actions and claimed he acted because he “had enough of his hatred,” according to testimony Thursday during Robinson’s preliminary hearing.

Utah State Bureau of Investigation Agent Brian Davis read portions of the text exchange in court as prosecutors continued presenting evidence against Robinson, 23, who is charged with assassinating Kirk outside a “Prove Me Wrong” event at Utah Valley University in Orem.

Reading from the exchange, Davis testified Robinson sent his roommate, Lance Twiggs, a message shortly after the shooting that read, “Stop what you’re doing. Look under the keyboard.”

Davis then read another alleged message from Robinson.

“I’m still okay, my love, but I’m stuck in Orem for a little while longer yet. Shouldn’t be long until I can come home, but gotta grab my rifle,” the message read. “Still, to be honest, I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.”

Twiggs allegedly replied, “You weren’t the one who did it, right?”

“I am. I’m sorry.”

After Twiggs wrote, “I thought they caught the person,” Davis read Robinson’s alleged response.

“No, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from the drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down,” Davis read. “It’s quiet, almost enough to get out, but there’s one vehicle lingering.”

The famous text messages were also read in court:

TEXT MESSAGES: “Lance [Twiggs] replies, ‘you weren't the one who did it, right?’”

“Tyler [Robinson] says: ‘I am, I'm sorry.’”

"Lance says, ‘I thought they caught the person.’”

Professor Jonathan Turley appeared on FOX News later in the day and said he has no idea how the defense will refute any of this.

“He carried off an assassination for political purposes…”

Now we know why Robinson’s defense team has repeatedly tried to delay the trial. They’re probably still trying to come up with a strategy.
