Defendant Admits to Shooting Influencer | Duluth News

A shocking new twist in the murder trial of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk: defendant Tyler Robinson’s former roommate, Lance Twiggs, played audio of Robinson confessing to the shooting, saying he’d “had enough of his hatred.” The prosecution’s case now includes damning text messages, surveillance footage, and a rifle found with three cartridges stamped with anti-fascist memes and phrases like “Hey fascist! Catch!” and “Oh bella ciao.” DNA evidence also links Robinson to a towel and screwdriver near the scene. At 23, Robinson faces the death penalty if convicted, while the defense challenges the hearsay confession. The judge is now weighing whether there’s enough probable cause to proceed to trial — and the Kirk family is demanding full transparency.
