After prosecutors presented DNA evidence that they claim ties Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover Lance Twiggs to the murder weapon, his attorneys tried to introduce doubt over the findings.

Robinson’s attorney Michael Burt cross examined Amanda Bakker, a forensic analyst for the FBI’s DNA lab, on Tuesday evening.

Burt grilled the forensic investigator over the potential for errors in DNA testing, and highlighted that Bakker’s report did not provide ‘absolute identification’ of Robinson.

‘She can’t match Mr. Robinson to the questioned samples,’ Burt said.

Prosecutors countered that the DNA definitively belonged to two people, with testing showing it certainly belonged to Twiggs and was extremely statistically likely to belong to Robinson.

They also insisted the line of questioning was beyond the scope of a pre-trial hearing, and said the result is not to prove Robinson’s guilt, but only to decide if there is enough evidence to take him to trial.

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

Judge Tony Graf started today’s hearing by reminding the prosecution and defense that the pre-trial hearing is scheduled to end by Friday at 5pm MT.

He then asked the attorneys to inform him of the remaining witnesses they will present.

Prosecutors said they will call Utah State Bureau of Investigation Agent Brian Davis to testify today, and added they may bring Utah Department of Public Safety Sergeant Jennifer Faumuina back to the stand.

Faumunia’s testimony will likely extend into Thursday, and then the prosecution’s presentation will be finished.

The defense team plans to call two remaining witnesses, both from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, was brought to court for a third day in armored vehicle, Fox News reported.

Robinson, 23, faces the possibility of the death penalty if he is convicted of murdering Kirk at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.

He has remained in custody in Utah ever since, and a judge set to determine if prosecutors have enough evidence to take him to trial this week.

Robinson has not entered a plea.

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson made contact with several members of the conservative activist’s organization Turning Point USA before the assassination, his pre-trial hearing heard on Tuesday.

Charlie Kirk’s parents continued to present as a unified front, arriving arm-in-arm at the Utah courthouse on Wednesday.

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson texted his transgender partner explaining his motive for the shooting, prosecutors allege.

His lover, Lance Twiggs, is expected to delivery testimony in a recorded statement at this week’s hearing.

Tyler Robinson’s family quickly walked into court today for the third day of his pre-trial hearing.

The family has been in court since the hearing kicked off on Monday, after convincing Robinson to turn himself in.

Charlie Kirk’s on-camera assassination ten months ago sparked a wave of conspiracy theories and social media frenzy immediately after the conservative firebrand’s death.

But at the pre-trial hearings for suspected killer Tyler Robinson, 23, in Provo, Utah, this week, several theories peddled by popular streamers quickly came under scrutiny.

Prosecutors in the case against accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson cited his defense attorney’s colorful track record as they sparred over allowing key evidence in his murder trial.

His defense attorney Kathy Nester, 59, attempted to prevent key evidence from being admitted at his pre-trial hearings this week.

Nester is a veteran trial attorney with a number of infamous defendants on her resume.

On Tuesday, prosecutors and Tyler Robinson’s defense lawyers argued over whether a statement by Charlie Kirk’s friend and Turning Point USA board member, David Englehardt, was admissible.

Prosecutors claimed the statement confirmed Robinson’s alleged motive in the shooting.

‘This doesn’t say anything about Mr. Robinson’s state of mind,’ defense attorney Richard Novak said.

‘I don’t think that this court should be deciding – based on the record before it – where, if at all, politics and religion intersect.’

The judge ruled that the statement was relevant and would be ‘provisionally admitted,’ with a final decision to be made at a later date.

Prosecutors presented bombshell evidence that they say places Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson at the scene of his murder in the first days of a tense pre-trial hearing this week.

Robinson, 23, faces the possibility of the death penalty if he is convicted of murdering Kirk at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.
