Tyler Robinson’s trans lover, Lance Twiggs, recalled his alleged tearful confession after Charlie Kirk was killed.
A video — played in court during a preliminary hearing — showed prosecutor Ryan McBride interviewing Robinson’s trans partner who described Robinson’s alleged confession.
On Sept 11. — one day after Kirk’s death — Twiggs claimed that Robinson allegedly said he wished he didn’t do it.
“Didn’t go into detail… I just asked him in person if what he said was true the night before, and he said it was… started crying a little bit, and said he wishes he hadn’t done it,” Twiggs said during the recorded interview.
“Eventually he said he would talk to his parents or turn himself over.”
Twiggs — who is not accused of any wrongdoing — was granted limited immunity for his testimony by the US Attorney’s Office and the Utah County Attorney’s Office.
He was Robinson’s roommate and lover in the town of St. George — located about three hours from Utah Valley University.
Robinson rarely spoke about LGBTQ+ issues and was more interested in Trump and his policies, Twiggs said near the end of his video testimony.
A state investigator then claimed Twiggs’ testimony matched an early police interview conducted on September 12, 2025.
Twiggs was asked about personal texts, Discord messages, and a handwritten note allegedly from Robinson, all sent within three days of Kirk’s death, said Brian Davis of the Utah State Bureau of Investigation.
He also revealed that — around one month before Kirk’s death, at most — Robinson asked Twiggs for a Dremel.
“I don’t remember exactly when, but he had said he was planning to go hunting with his family and he asked me… if we had a Dremel, because he said he wanted to engrave messages on bullets,” Twiggs said.
Robinson, now 23, faces the death penalty if convicted.
