The Tyler Robinson Case

Currently Playing: Prosecutors oppose effort to make Tyler Robinson roommate appear at prelim

Is Tyler Robinson's defense team trying to make Robinson's former roommate, Lance Twiggs, attend the preliminary hearing in person? Last week, Robinson filed a motion under seal that's titled "Application for Certificate to Secure Out-of-State Witness" for the preliminary hearing. In court Friday, the defense noted that the witness's attorney has declined to accept service of the subpoena. On Tuesday, the Utah County Attorney's Office filed its opposition to Robinson's motion — and seemingly identified the out-of-state witness — stating, "The court should deny (Robinson's) application for a certificate to secure attendance of Mr. Lance Twiggs because Mr. Twiggs is not a material witness for the preliminary hearing." Robinson was living with Twiggs in southern Utah when prosecutors say he shot and killed Charlie Kirk on Sept. 10 on the campus of Utah Valley University. Robinson faces a possible death sentence if convicted. Prosecutors have stated in charging documents that Robinson left a note and exchanged text messages with Twiggs following Kirk's assassination.
