US: Charlie Kirk murder suspect 'regretted' act, roommate says

Prosecutors in Utah have presented new evidence in the case of Tyler R., the suspect accused of murdering prominent conservative figure Charlie Kirk. The evidence includes an interview with Lance Twiggs, Tyler R.'s former roommate and romantic partner, who claims Tyler R. expressed regret over the murder. According to Twiggs, Tyler R. allegedly confessed via text messages that he shot Kirk and later returned home. He reportedly told Twiggs he wished he hadn’t committed the act and began crying. The court allowed parts of the interview to be played but blocked others at the defense’s request to avoid prejudicing the trial. Kirk’s family and media attorneys requested transparency by making the evidence public, but the judge denied the motion, citing the need to protect the rights of both the victim and the defendant.
