Speaker 1: Crime a art hourly update, breaking crime news Now. I'm

Speaker 1: Sidney Silvanni. Day four of the preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson,

Speaker 1: the man accused in the shooting death of Charlie Kirk,

Speaker 1: delivered the most explosive revelations yet. After hours of intense

Speaker 1: legal arguments regarding the recorded testimony of Robinson's partner, Lance Twiggs,

Speaker 1: a Utah courtroom finally hurt the never before seen video evidence.

Speaker 2: My name is Lance Twigs, and do you know Tyler Robinson? Yes,

Speaker 2: I do, Yeah, I do. And this is the same

Speaker 2: Tyler Robinson has been charged with the shooting of Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 1: Yes, Twiggs, who was granted limited immunity by both the

Speaker 1: US Attorney's Office and the Utah County Attorney's Office, provided

Speaker 1: a chilling account of Robinson's behavior immediately following the assassination.

Speaker 1: Twiggs recounted the moment the accused lone gunmen allegedly broke

Speaker 1: down inside their Saint George apartment, located about three hours

Speaker 1: from the Utah Valley University campus where the murder took place. Twigs,

Speaker 1: who confirmed he also goes by the name Luna, explained

Speaker 1: to investigators that Robinson was acting erratically when he returned

Speaker 1: home on September eleventh, after spending hours waiting near UVU

Speaker 1: campus in an attempt to retrieve his grandfather's rifle from

Speaker 1: the wooded area where he stashed it immediately after the shooting.

Speaker 1: In this segment of the video evidence played aloud for

Speaker 1: the court, Twigs describes the suspect's tearful confession hours before

Speaker 1: turning himself over to the police.

Speaker 2: Did you see, however, on September eleventh? Yes? When did

Speaker 2: you first see him on September eleventh? So this is

Speaker 2: the day after this year. I saw him when I

Speaker 2: woke up, Like I said, he was up and around,

Speaker 2: doing a lot of stuff around the house. Did he

Speaker 2: talk about what he had done? Didn't go into detail,

Speaker 2: he just I just asked him in person what he

Speaker 2: said was true the night before, and he said it was.

Speaker 2: I started crying a little bit, said he wishes he

Speaker 2: hadn't done it, and then kept going around. Din't just

Speaker 2: doing stuff I think to keep himself busy or distracted

Speaker 2: or something. Did he talk about what he was going

Speaker 2: to do next? Eventually said that you had talked to

Speaker 2: his parents or turn himself over?

Speaker 1: Twigs further testified that Robinson rarely spoke about LGBTQ plus issues,

Speaker 1: focusing instead on Donald Trump and his political policies, noting

Speaker 1: he had never heard Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk specifically. However,

Speaker 1: prosecutors presented physical evidence tying Robinson directly to a premeditated attack.

Speaker 1: Roughly a month before the shooting, Robinson asked Twigs for

Speaker 1: a drummal tool to engrave bullets for what he said

Speaker 1: was a family hunting trip. In court, prosecutors published photos

Speaker 1: of four bullets recovered from a wooded area near the

Speaker 1: UVU campus, alongside a rifle matching Robinson's DNA. The engravings

Speaker 1: read hey, fascist, catch and notices, bulge, What's this? A

Speaker 1: fifth bullet discovered in Robinson's bedroom was engraved test shot.

Speaker 1: Watching this unfold, the Kirk family sat in the courtroom,

Speaker 1: demanding transparency. Their attorney, Jeffreyneman, argued passionately against sealing any

Speaker 1: further evidence, stating that the family has waited ten months

Speaker 1: to see what is happening in the courtroom and to

Speaker 1: finally put rampant conspiracy theories to rest. The hearing is

Speaker 1: scheduled to conclude today, but with major delays due to objections.

Speaker 1: There's a possibility it will stretch into next week. More

Speaker 1: crime and justice news after this. A horrific mystery is

Speaker 1: unfolding in Chester, New Jersey, where thirty five year old

Speaker 1: mother Brook Hanlon was found stabbed to death inside of

Speaker 1: her home on June sixth. The medical examiner confirmed she

Speaker 1: suffered multiple sharp force injuries. In the week since the murder,

Speaker 1: her husband, James Connor Hanlon, has not been seen or

Speaker 1: heard from publicly, though the Morris County Prosecutor's Office Major

Speaker 1: Crimes Unit confirms he has retained a lawyer and is

Speaker 1: communicating with investigators. Authorities have declined to comment on his

Speaker 1: cooperation or clarify who made the initial nine one one call.

Speaker 1: They have not disclosed if Connor or the couple's baby

Speaker 1: were inside when Brook's body was found. A neighbor spoke

Speaker 1: exclusively with Fox News Digital detailing his final text exchanges

Speaker 1: with Connor on June second, regarding local bears getting into

Speaker 1: the trash. The neighbor texted again on June sixth after

Speaker 1: seeing massive police activity, but never received a reply. The

Speaker 1: plot thickened Tuesday when reporters spotted a white SUV with

Speaker 1: New Jersey plates previously seen at the residence all the

Speaker 1: way in Boston. While court records show Connor has no

Speaker 1: prior criminal history and is not accused of any wrongdoing,

Speaker 1: Brook's sister, Paige Haggerty, declined to discuss him. In a

Speaker 1: conversation with Fox News Digital, Haggarty confirmed Brook's baby is

Speaker 1: safe with family and staid the family's focus is entirely

Speaker 1: on preserving Brook's legacy after such a violent, tragic end.

Speaker 1: A one thousand dollars reward is being offered for any

Speaker 1: information about the murder. In Oklahoma City, shocking security camera

Speaker 1: footage has been released capturing a brazen daytime attack outside

Speaker 1: police headquarters. At around eight am on Thursday, July second,

Speaker 1: a man walking down West Main Street spotted a man

Speaker 1: in a wheelchair crossing South Lee Avenue. According to an

Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Police Department affidavit, the suspect turned around, approached

Speaker 1: the man, ignited a homemade Molotov cocktail, and threw it

Speaker 1: directly at him, engulfing the man in flames. The video

Speaker 1: shows the victim desperately wheeling away from the fire while

Speaker 1: the attacker attempts to push him back into the flames. Fortunately,

Speaker 1: two alert OKC detectives waiting at the intersection rushed in,

Speaker 1: taking the thirty eight year old suspect into custody. The

Speaker 1: victim survived with minor burns to his neck in arms.

Speaker 1: The suspect admitted he intended to kill the victim under

Speaker 1: the delusion he spotted marks on the victim indicating he

Speaker 1: was a child molester. He faced complaints of first degree arson,

Speaker 1: assault with intent to kill, in possessing incendiary devices, though

Speaker 1: formal charges are pending. For more crime and justice news,
