Erika Kirk was heard crying in court today as chilling new text messages between Tyler Robinson and his trans lover Lance Twiggs were read aloud.Â
In messages dated September 10, the day of Charlie Kirk‘s murder, Robinson chillingly claimed that his grandfather’s rifle worked ‘just fine’ shortly after the alleged assassin took his shot at the Utah Valley University campus.Â
Robinson said he had still planned to go to work in the hours following Kirk’s death as he attempted to lay low, and that he had wanted to see if the ‘road closer’ to the UVU campus was open so he could ‘drive past and check s*** out.’Â Â
Earlier in the hearing, Robinson appeared to panic and sweat as a part of recorded testimony from Twiggs was played to the court.
Twiggs, wearing a suit with long hair, appeared deadpan as he rattled off details about the morning of Kirk’s murder in a recorded interview with officials.Â
The Turning Point USA founder’s family previously filed a request demanding that recorded testimony from Robinson’s lover be played in full after judge Tony F. Graf Jr. ruled a portion of it could be redacted.
Kirk’s widow, Erika, and his parents, Robert and Kathryn, have been in the courtroom every day for the evidence hearing.
A dramatic weeklong evidence hearing has been underway for Robinson, 23, who faces the death penalty if he is convicted of murdering Kirk in front of thousands of people at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.
Robinson has not entered a plea in the case. His attorneys have not commented on his guilt or innocence.
