Read Tyler Robinson’s text messages to trans lover Lance Twiggs on day of Charlie Kirk murder: Live updates

A text message between Tyler Robinson and Lance Twiggs was shown in court.

The message allegedly shows Robinson telling Twiggs to ‘drop what you’re doing, look under my keyboard.;

Twiggs replied, ‘What? You’re joking right?’

Twiggs then said, ‘You weren’t the one who did it right?’

To which Robinson allegedly replied, ‘I am, I’m sorry.’

Robinson’s message continued, ‘I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. It’s quiet, almost enough to get but, there’s one vehicle lingering.’

Twiggs appeared to ask Robinson how long he had been playing the alleged assassination.

Robinson allegedly replied, ‘A bit over a week I believe.’

Audio from the courtroom appears to have been muted with they discuss the alleged Discord chat logs between Robinson and Twiggs.

Lance Twiggs testified that he never heard Lance Twiggs talk about Charlie Kirk before.

He said Robinson spoke more about politics than he did, and that he does not recall Robinson talking much about LGBTQ rights.

Lance Twiggs tentatively identified his roommate and lover, Tyler Robinson, in FBI images of the Charlie Kirk shooting suspect.

‘I wouldn’t say it with 100 percent certainty just because of camera quality, but that looks like him in terms of the shoes he’s wearing, the sunglasses,’ Twiggs said.

Lance Twiggs testified that Tyler Robinson expressed regret over allegedly shooting Charlie Kirk.

Twiggs claimed Robinson left a note under a keyboard and he took a pictured of it. The next day, Twiggs said he asked Robinson about the note.

‘I asked him in person if what he said he had done the night before was true. He said it was,’ Twiggs said.

Robinson said, ‘He wishes he hadn’t done it,’ according to Twiggs.

Twiggs said that Robinson was going around the apartment, doing things to keep himself busy or distracted.

Lance Twiggs testified that Tyler Robinson told him he was going on a family hunting trip and he wanted to engrave bullets.

Twiggs said Robinson had talked about the hunting trip in general for months, then about a month before the shooting started talking about engraving bullets.

Investigators have claimed to have found bullet casings engraved with political messages in the gun.

One read: ‘Hey fascist! Catch!’

Lance Twiggs testified that he meet Tyler Robinson for the first time in 2023 when he moved into their house.

He said that they started dating two to three months after Robinson moved in, but they lived in separate rooms.

Twiggs stared ahead as he described how he and Robinson had a shared friend group and liked playing games.

He said that Robinson stayed in the apartment on the night of September 9, then he told Twiggs he had a long drive to work the next day.

Twiggs said he did not hear from Robinson until 11pm on September 10, aside from a message in a group chat.

The video appeared to skip a redacted portion of the interview.

Tyler Robinson’s transgender lover and roommate, Lance Twiggs, wore his hair long and a suit as he delivered a prerecorded testimony.

Judge Tony Graf ruled that text messages between Tyler Robinson and Lance Twiggs can be shown in court.

A note that Robinson allegedly wrote to Twiggs has also been admitted, and Graf is allowing Discord chat messages to be shown, with phone numbers and addresses redacted.

The Kirk family attorney said they are again calling for everything to be shown.

‘This has not been easy as you can imagine,’ he said. ‘The family deserves to see the evidence that’s been gathered in this investigation.

‘They deserve to know what happened to Charlie.’

He continued, ‘The Kirk family has waited ten months for this hearing. They have a right to see and feel what’s going on in this courtroom.

‘To be here and not to see the evidence – what’s the point of being here?’

Tyler Robinson wiped his brow as the court heard arguments over his transgender lover’s testimony on Thursday.

Judge Tony Graf ruled a redacted video of Lance Twiggs’ testimony can be shown in court, as well as text messages, a note and Discord chat longs.

Robinson’s lawyers argued publishing the evidence could impact his ability to have a fair trial.

Prosecutors, along with the Kirk family representative and the media, pushed for the evidence to be made public.

Judge Tony Graf doubled down on his decision to redact portions of Lance Twiggs’ testimony.

‘The court’s ruling is not whether it is relevant or not; it’s whether it should be published or not,’ he said.

‘Again, as previously stated, the entirety of Exhibit 16 the court is receiving without any redactions or edits; the court is considering it as it weighs probable cause.’

Graf continued, ‘However, for publication, the court finds that the requested section from roughly after 32:55 starting with “ok” ending at 33:27…

‘The court finds independently that this portion shall not be transmitted in the courtroom because of certain statements made in there that do not serve the interest of justice for publication.’
