Judge Orders Redactions to Video Testimony in Tyler Robinson Preliminary Hearing

A preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson, accused of killing Charlie Kirk, continued in Provo, Utah, with video testimony from Lance Twiggs, Robinson's former partner, set to be played in court. Initially scheduled for Wednesday, the presentation was postponed due to defense objections, leading Judge Tony Graf Jr. to order redactions to the video. The Kirk family attorney, Jeff Neiman, argued for the unredacted video to be made public, stating that redactions could undermine trust in the judicial process. Judge Graf agreed to redact approximately 16 minutes from the 37-minute video after concerns were raised about the implications of airing a potential confession before trial. The full video is expected to include discussions of texts and notes that the defense does not classify as a confession. The preliminary hearing is scheduled to conclude by 5 p.m. on Friday.
