据周四当庭播放的一份警方采访内容显示，2025年9月在犹他谷大学一场活动中被控杀害保守派活动人士查理·柯克的大学生泰勒·罗宾逊，枪击后行为反常，并告诉自己的室友他“但愿自己没做过这事”。
罗宾逊被控加重谋杀罪，尚未作出抗辩。检方称，罗宾逊在留给前室友兼恋人兰斯·特维格斯的字条中供认，他“有机会除掉查理·柯克，我要抓住这个机会”。罗宾逊还据称曾给特维格斯发短信称，他之所以 targeting 柯克，是因为他“受够了他的仇恨言论”。
特维格斯在接受犹他州检察官的录音采访中表示，枪击案发生后的第二天他见到了罗宾逊。特维格斯告诉检察官，在枪击案发生前，他从未听罗宾逊谈论过柯克，他们以往讨论政治时，话题通常集中在特朗普总统和时事上。
特维格斯称，9月12日，也就是枪击案发生的次日，他见到罗宾逊时，对方在公寓里“不停地来回走动”。特维格斯说他问罗宾逊“前一晚说的话是不是真的”。据特维格斯称，罗宾逊回答“是真的”。
特维格斯在采访中说，罗宾逊“当时哭了一会儿，说他但愿自己没做过这事”。罗宾逊随后继续踱步，“做些事情，我想只是为了让自己忙起来、分散注意力之类的”，特维格斯说道。特维格斯说，他不久后就离开了公寓，因为罗宾逊告诉他要去自首，而他“不管结果如何，都不想待在那里”。罗宾逊随后于9月12日当天晚些时候自首。
特维格斯在当天晚些时候以及4月20日再次接受了当局询问。他的证词获得了豁免权，这意味着特维格斯的供述不能在未来的刑事案件中用于指控他本人。
辩方律师曾反对公开特维格斯的证词，称检方会将这些证词描述为认罪供述，如果媒体播出这些内容，将会损害罗宾逊获得公平审判的权利。媒体方和柯克的遗孀埃丽卡的律师——埃丽卡出席了本周的听证会——曾敦促法官公开特维格斯的证词和其他证据。
“如果不透明、不公开，不让世人看到发生的一切，会引发人们对司法系统的怀疑和不信任，”柯克家族的律师杰弗里·尼曼周三告诉《格拉夫报》。
尼曼周三晚些时候提出请求，要求在本周的听证会期间公开所有针对罗宾逊的证据，并实时展示。尼曼写道，埃丽卡·柯克和柯克的父母已经等待了10个月才等到这场听证会，但有时却被剥夺了“有意义地旁听”的机会。
法官回应称，并非所有证据都会公开展示，他需要保护受害者和被告双方的权利。庭审播放的视频存在部分打码，其中包括检察官似乎向特维格斯展示罗宾逊所写字条和短信的画面。
调查人员称，罗宾逊前往柯克演讲地点附近的一处屋顶，在这名活动人士接受数千名民众提问时，朝他的颈部开了一枪。柯克被送往医院后被宣布死亡。调查人员在枪击案现场附近的一片林区发现了疑似作案武器——一把装有一发已发射弹壳的栓动步枪——用毛巾包裹着。
罗宾逊的律师尚未就其有罪或无罪发表评论，但一直在争取取消死刑的可能性，目前尚未成功。
罗宾逊在听证会期间一直安静地坐着。周四，他身着夹克和领带，一只手臂被铐在腰间。他似乎在用另一只手做笔记。
罗宾逊的父母和两个兄弟坐在他身后的法庭旁听席前排。查理·柯克的父母和埃丽卡·柯克坐在稍靠后的几排。犹他州共和党参议员迈克·李也出席了听证会。
州地区法官托尼·格拉夫将在本周的初步听证会结束时，裁定检方是否有足够的证据将罗宾逊送上审判。
罗宾逊的律师本周早些时候对用于将被告与毛巾和枪支联系起来的DNA检测的可靠性提出了质疑。
泰勒·罗宾逊辩护团队的一名成员询问了联邦调查局的一名DNA分析师，询问她将罗宾逊与证据联系起来所使用的技术。辩方律师迈克尔·伯特对该分析师的结论提出了质疑。
“她无法将罗宾逊先生与送检样本匹配起来，”伯特辩称。
但法医专家劳伦斯·夸里诺表示，执法机构使用“极为可靠”的检测方法，来确定某人与犯罪现场发现的DNA匹配的概率。
DNA检测“是法医学的金标准”，夸里诺说道，他是宾夕法尼亚州锡达克里斯特学院法医学项目的教授兼主任。
Charlie Kirk murder suspect told roommate “he wishes he hadn’t done it,” police interview reveals

Tyler Robinson, the college student accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University in September 2025, acted erratically after the shooting and told his roommate he wished “he hadn’t done it,” according to an interview played in court Thursday.
Robinson is charged with aggravated murder and has not entered a plea. Prosecutors allege Robinson confessed in a note left for former roommate and romantic partner Lance Twiggs that he “had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.” Robinson also allegedly sent a text to Twiggs saying he targeted Kirk because he “had enough of his hatred.”
Twiggs said in a recorded interview with a Utah prosecutor that he saw Robinson the day after the shooting. Twiggs told the prosecutor he had never heard Robinson talk about Kirk before the shooting, and when they talked about politics, it usually focused on President Trump and current events.
Twiggs said that when he saw Robinson on Sept. 12, the day after the shooting, he was walking “around a lot” within their apartment. Twiggs said he asked “if what he said was true the night before.” Robinson “said it was,” Twiggs said.
He “started crying a little bit and said he wishes he hadn’t done it,” Twiggs said in the interview. Robinson then resumed pacing and “doing stuff, I think just to keep himself busy or distracted or something,” Twiggs said. Twiggs said he left the apartment shortly after because Robinson told him he was going to turn himself in, and he didn’t want to be there “regardless of what went down.” Robinson turned himself in later on Sept. 12.

Twiggs spoke to authorities later that same day, and again on April 20. He was given immunity for the statements, meaning what Twiggs said cannot be used against him in a potential criminal case.
Defense attorneys had fought against the public release of the statements from Twiggs, saying prosecutors would characterize the statements as a confession, undermining Robinson’s right to a fair trial if the statements are broadcast by the media. Attorneys for the media and for Kirk’s widow, Erika, who has attended this week’s hearing, had urged the judge to make Twiggs’ statements and other evidence public.
“To not be transparent, to not be open and let the world see what happened will create doubt and distrust in the judicial system,” Kirk family lawyer Jeffrey Neiman told Graf Wednesday.
Neiman filed a request late Wednesday for all evidence against Robinson to be displayed openly and in real time during this week’s hearing. Neiman wrote that Erika Kirk and Kirk’s parents had waited 10 months for the hearing but at times have been denied the chance “to meaningfully observe” it.
The judge said in response that not all evidence would be openly displayed and he needs to protect the rights of both victims and the defendant. There were some redactions in the video played, including when the prosecutor appeared to be showing Twiggs images of the note and messages from Robinson.
Investigators say Robinson went to a rooftop near where Kirk was speaking and shot him once through the neck as the activist was taking questions from a crowd of several thousand people. Kirk was declared dead after being taken to a hospital. Investigators found the suspected murder weapon — a bolt-action rifle with one spent round — wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near where Kirk was shot.
Robinson’s attorneys have not commented on his guilt or innocence but have sought to get the death penalty taken off the table, so far unsuccessfully.
Robinson has sat quietly through the hearing. On Thursday, he was dressed in a jacket and tie with one arm shackled to his waist. He appeared to be taking notes with his free hand.

Robinson’s parents and two of his brothers sat behind him, in the front row of the courtroom gallery. Charlie’s Kirk parents and Erika Kirk sat a few rows back. Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, also was in attendance.
State District Judge Tony Graf will decide at the conclusion of this week’s preliminary hearing if prosecutors have enough evidence to bring Robinson to trial.
Robinson’s lawyers earlier this week questioned the reliability of DNA testing used to link the defendant to the towel and gun.
A member of Tyler Robinson’s defense team interrogated a DNA analyst from the FBI about the techniques she used to connect Robinson to the evidence. Defense lawyer Michael Burt cast doubt on the analyst’s conclusions.
“She can’t match Mr. Robinson to the questioned samples,” Burt argued.
But forensics expert Lawrence Quarino said law enforcement agencies use “extremely reliable” tests to determine the probability that a person matches with DNA found at a crime scene.
DNA testing “is the gold standard in forensic science,” said Quarino, a professor and director of the forensic science program at Cedar Crest College in Pennsylvania.
