Robinson defense alleging prosecutor misconduct
Criminal defense lawyer Josh Ritter made an appearance on ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ to delve into the Tyler Robinson death penalty case. The defense team is accusing the prosecution of misconduct due to their comments to the media. Additionally, Ritter shared insights on the public’s reaction to the Metcalf family following Karmelo Anthony’s verdict.
Lance Twiggs, who lived with and was romantically involved with Tyler Robinson, the accused in the alleged murder of Charlie Kirk, has been granted limited immunity. This development came to light through a recent court document.
The prosecutors revealed in a Tuesday filing that Twiggs received “use-immunity” for a statement he made to authorities on April 20. They intend to present Twiggs’ recorded statement, along with his interactions with Robinson, during the preliminary hearing scheduled for July, which is centered on Kirk’s death.
Tyler Robinson was present at a hearing in the 4th District Court in Provo on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, concerning the shooting death of Charlie Kirk. This hearing was captured by Trent Nelson for The Salt Lake Tribune.
The filing elaborates, “On April 20, 2026, as part of the preparation for the preliminary hearing, Mr. Twiggs provided a sworn recorded statement. He was warned that any falsehoods could lead to charges of obstruction of justice. The United States Attorney’s Office and the Utah County Attorney’s Office granted him use-immunity, ensuring that his statements from that day could not be used against him,” prosecutors detailed in the document.
This is a developing story.
