Court shown video of Tyler Robinson turning himself in for Charlie Kirk murder as cops:  Live updates

A representative for Charlie Kirk’s family addressed the court and demanded that the Lance Twiggs video be made public after the judge ruled a portion of it could be redacted.

‘I’ve been very hesitant to speak up at these proceedings,’ he said.

‘I want to be clear on the Kirk family’s position is on all of this. The Kirk family believes strongly that if it is admitted in this preliminary hearing, it should be made public for the world to see. No redactions.’

He continued, ‘To not be transparent, to not be open, to not let the world see what happened will create doubt and distrust in the judicial system, and that’s not what anybody wants.

‘That’s not what any of us believe should happen here and we’d ask the court to consider the position of the family and making this decision.’

Kirk’s widow, Erika, and his parents, Robert and Kathryn, have been at court every day this week for the evidence hearing.

The court has been adjourned for the day.

Prosecutors have said they will remove a portion of Lance Twigg’s video testimony and play it in court on Thursday.

Court is set to resume at 9am MT on Thursday.

Judge Tony Graf ruled the video testimony of Tyler Robinson’s transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, can be played in court.

The judge reviewed the footage and the defense’s proposed redactions during an extended break.

‘Sometimes it takes time to save time,’ Graf said when court resumed.

He said that the prosecution can publish the video of Twiggs’ testimony, except for about a 1-minute and 20-second portion.

It is unclear when the video will be played, but Graf gave the prosecution the opportunity to edit that portion out of the clip.

Judge Tony Graf had called for a court recess until 3pm MT/5pm ET.

Nearly 40 minutes have past since court was set to return.

Graf is reviewing the statements from Lance Twiggs.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys have been arguing over video testimony from Tyler Robinson’s transgender lover and roommate, Lance Twiggs.

Twiggs was interviewed on September 12, the day after Robinson turned himself in, then again on April 20.

State Bureau of Investigation Agent Brian Davis said Twiggs was given ‘use immunity’ for his statements, meaning prosecutors agreed not to use the statements against him.

Prosecutors introduced footage of Tyler Robinson turning himself in while questioning Utah State Bureau of Investigation Agent Brian Davis.

Davis said Robinson arrived at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office with his parents and a family friend.

The agent also added that he was one of the investigators who interviewed Robinson’s mother.

Prosecutors are expected to introduce an exhibit that shows a recorded statement from Tyler Robinson’s trans lover and roommate, Lance Twiggs.

It is unclear when Twiggs’ video testimony will be entered into court, but prosecutors included it on a list of evidence submitted earlier this year.

Prosecutors are also said to introduce an exhibit that is a photo of a ‘burnt note from apartment.’

On Wednesday, Robinson’s defense attorneys raised concerns about a 22-page transcript of a video that has not yet been introduced in court.

‘We provided the state, I want to say about a day and a half ago, with proposed redactions because we believe that portions of it are not admissible even in a preliminary hearing,’ the defense lawyer said.

The prosecutors said they intend to introduce that video today, and the judge agreed to address the defense’s concerns when the issue arises.

Tyler Robinson stared straight ahead as he was greeted by the judge on the third day of his pre-trial hearing.
