During the preliminary hearing of Tyler Robinson on Wednesday, photos of text messages between Robinson and Lance Twiggs, the roommate Robinson was dating, were shown in court, detailing Robinson’s comments in the wake of the killing of Charlie Kirk.
Some of the text messages had previously been released by the prosecution earlier in the case, but new messages were also revealed in the hearing. On the stand was Utah State Bureau of Investigation agent Brian Davis, who read out the messages that had been photographed from Twiggs’ phone.
"I am still ok my love, but am stuck in Orem for a little while longer yet," one message stated. It was followed by another one reading, "Shouldn’t be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you."
