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,
