Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk’s widow, wept as Agent Ryan Davis from the State Bureau of Investigations read out text messages between Tyler Robinson and his lover Lance Twiggs on the stand.

The messages unearthed disturbing details from the day Charlie Kirk was murdered, including that the old rifle that Robinson allegedly used to shoot the Turning Point USA founder worked ‘just fine.’

Prior to the shooting, Robinson told Twiggs he was planning on taking a family hunting trip, and wanted to borrow a dremel to inscribe the gun’s bullets.

Erika Kirk was heard crying as text messages between Tyler Robinson and Lance Twiggs was shown in court.

The message allegedly shows Robinson telling Twiggs to ‘drop what you’re doing, look under my keyboard.;

Twiggs replied, ‘What? You’re joking right?’

Twiggs then said, ‘You weren’t the one who did it right?’

To which Robinson allegedly replied, ‘I am, I’m sorry.’

Robinson’s message continued, ‘I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. It’s quiet, almost enough to get but, there’s one vehicle lingering.’

Twiggs then asked Robinson why he did it, and Robinson allegedly replied, ‘I had enough of his hatred, some hate cannot be negotiated out.

Robinson continued, ‘If I’m able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again, hopefully they have moved on. I haven’t seen anything in the news about them finding it. Will update shortly, I will update you by midnight.’

Twiggs appeared to ask Robinson how long he had been playing the alleged assassination.

Robinson allegedly replied, ‘A bit over a week I believe.’

Court shown Tyler Robinson turning himself in for Charlie Kirk death

Video played in court showed Tyler Robinson, dressed in a maroon shirt, jeans and a hat, in a room in the Washington County Sheriff’s Office when he turned himself in.

In the alleged confession note, which Twiggs confirmed finding in his interview with police, Robinson referred to him by his chosen name ‘Luna’, instead of Lance.

‘If you are reading this per my text, then I am so sorry. I left the house this morning on a mission, and set an auto text,’ the note read, per the court filings.

‘I am likely dead, or facing a lengthy prison sentence. I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I took it. I don’t know if I will/have succeeded, but I had hoped to make it home to you.

‘I wish we could have lived in a world where this did not feel necessary. I wish I could have stayed for you and lived our lives together.’

Twiggs said in his police interview that only some people called him Luna, and he had not told everyone in his life to use that name.
