The prosecution will call Tyler Robinson’s roommate and alleged lover as a witness in his murder case … TMZ has learned.<\/p>\n

As you know, Robinson has been charged with allegedly shooting and killing Charlie Kirk<\/a> at Utah Valley University in September.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

New legal docs, obtained by TMZ, indicate Tyler’s roomie, Lance Twiggs, will testify in the murder case.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the docs, Twiggs will submit a video-recorded interview with the prosecution as testimony … but Robinson’s lawyers are requesting his roommate appear in-person, since they say he’s a “material witness.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Robinson’s attorneys argue that he has the right to confront and cross-examine Twiggs at the preliminary hearing … which he obviously wouldn’t be able to do if Twiggs’ testimony is pre-recorded.<\/p>\n

The docs say prosecutors would be using the video interview to “authenticate alleged electronic communications” between Robinson and Twiggs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As you know, Robinson allegedly confessed to Twiggs that he’d killed Kirk and ditched his clothes. He also allegedly asked his roommate not to cooperate with the cops.<\/p>\n

Robinson is facing the death penalty for the alleged assassination. In April, he asked the judge to ban cameras from the courtroom … but his request was shot down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Murderer Tyler Robinson Roommate & Alleged Lover Will Take the Stand Published June 19, 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":714429,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-714428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=714428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714428\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/714429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=714428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=714428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=714428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
