A video — played in court during a preliminary hearing — showed prosecutor Ryan McBride interviewing Robinson’s partner, who described Robinson’s alleged regret when they spoke in person on Sept. 11.

“Had he talked about what he had done?” McBride asked.

“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,” he said.

The tearful exchange allegedly came the day after the pair had texted about Robinson returning to Utah Valley University campus to try to recover his grandfather’s rifle, which he joked was “just fine” for the shooting.

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. Twiggs also confirmed in the video that he has gone by the name Luna.

Robinson rarely spoke about LGBTQ+ issues and was more interested in Trump and his policies, Twiggs said near the end of his video testimony.

“I personally had never heard him talk about Charlie Kirk before specifically,” Twiggs said.

Twiggs also revealed that — around one month before Kirk’s death, at most — Robinson asked if they had 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,” he said.

Twiggs was shown personal texts, Discord messages, and a handwritten note allegedly from Robinson, said Brian Davis of the Utah State Bureau of Investigation.

Twiggs said that he read a note left under Robinson’s computer keyboard in his bedroom at around 11 p.m. on the night of Kirk’s death.

A state investigator claimed Twiggs’ testimony matched an early police interview conducted on September 12, 2025.

Kirk, 31, was fatally shot in the neck during an event on the campus of Utah Valley University.

Robinson’s defense had pushed to keep media from broadcasting the video and text messages out of court, arguing that they would violate their client’s rights and prejudice the jury pool.

Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, joined prosecutors in urging the court to let the exhibits be shown in full.

“The Kirk family has waited 10 months for this hearing. … They have a right to see and feel what’s going on in this courtroom,” attorney Jeffrey Neiman said to the judge.

“To be here and not to see the evidence — what’s the point of being here?”

Prosecutors also showed videos Tuesday allegedly tracing Robinson’s exact movements at Utah Valley University on the day of the shooting — plus an FBI analysis they claim links Robinson with DNA on a towel used to hide the rifle.

DNA likely matching both him and Twiggs was also found on a screwdriver left where Robinson allegedly positioned himself for the fatal shot, witnesses testified in the hearing set to end on Friday.
