Criminal defense attorney Josh Ritter joined ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ to discuss the Tyler Robinson death penalty case. The defense claims prosecutor misconduct, citing media comments. Ritter also commented on backlash towards the Metcalf family after Karmelo Anthony’s verdict.
Lance Twiggs, a transgender roommate and romantic partner of Tyler Robinson, was granted limited immunity for a statement he gave in April. According to a court filing, prosecutors provided Twiggs with “use-immunity” on April 20. This measure allows the prosecution to use Twiggs’ recorded statement and related communications during the July preliminary hearing.
On April 20, 2026, Twiggs offered a recorded statement under oath in preparation for the preliminary hearing. He was warned that false statements could lead to charges of obstruction of justice. The United States Attorney’s Office and Utah County Attorney’s Office provided use-immunity, ensuring his statements couldn’t be used against him.
Tyler Robinson appeared in 4th District Court in Provo on February 3, 2026, concerning the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk. This case continues to develop as more details emerge.
