The discussion highlights the forensic recovery of deleted data and the emotional state of the defendant following the crime.
What an extraordinary 40 minutes we all just had together.
My God, Tyler Robinson went back home.
He returned to his apartment with Lance Twiggs the day after the murder.
And they walked around together on 9-11 during the day and talked about what he'd done.
Moreover, we heard, we'll get to all of this, but moreover, we heard far more about their
text exchange than has been made public.
The text exchange we know about because law enforcement identified it in their what's
called a criminal information, the thing that brings charges.
And we had been reading from that.
We've read from it extensively on the show this week.
This is the first we've heard some of the additional lines that were eliminated by ellipses
in the criminal information.
And they were, they were interesting.
They were, they were telling in some instances, but we're getting a much more full picture
of the exchange that they had, like State's Exhibit 16.1 Wednesday at 11 p.m. when, when
what happened was Tyler Robinson had a, a pre set text, like an automated text that
showed up on Tyler, on Lance Twiggs phone, um, that read, drop what you were doing.
Look under my keyboard.
Oh, we're back.
Stand by.
I'll get back to you.
Let's, let's listen.
I'm on September 10th.
Um, and so at that point, uh, Lance finds this, this is the letter he finds under that
keyboard.
Okay.
So to clarify, Mr. Twiggs gets a text from Mr. Robinson around 11 p.m. on September 10th
telling him to look under his keyboard.
Yes, correct.
And this is, uh, what Mr. Twiggs represented was underneath the keyboard.
Yes.
How did law enforcement get this photograph?
So, uh, following Lance's first interview, um, at St. George PD, his phone is, uh, recovered
at that point, taken into evidence, it is, uh, downloaded, I believe it was the following
day or shortly after that, um, the FBI transported that phone to the RCFL, which is the Regional
Computer Forensic Laboratory, um, in Salt Lake City.
The phone was downloaded, uh, through Cellebrite and, um, after that, following that download
was, was complete, um, uh, SBI received, uh, a flash drive containing that download, um,
from there it went to a SIAC analyst to go through that data of his phone to look for
any pertinent evidence or information that may be on there.
And at that point, um, that this image of this letter was, uh, uh, located.
All right.
I'm going to break down a few things.
You mentioned, I just want to make sure the record's clear, you mentioned Cellebrite a
few times.
What is Cellebrite?
It's a, it's a downloading software that's commonly used by law enforcement.
I, I don't do that myself, but it's commonly used, um, to recover data, to download electronic
devices, particularly cell phones.
And then you mentioned SIAC.
What does that mean?
It's the Statewide Information Analysis Center.
It's a division, uh, within DPS that's a fusion center.
They assist, uh, law enforcement with intelligence, various, uh, uh, intelligence, uh, uh, information
for, for our investigations.
You mentioned that you don't personally do Cellebrite phone extractions.
Have you spoken to the law enforcement officers that performed the Cellebrite extraction on
Mr. Twigg's phone in this case?
Um, I don't believe I specifically talked to, to those, uh, individuals, the RCFL that
did that.
Um, um, but, uh, but, but they, yeah, that was then provided to SBI.
Did you speak with officers at SBI that have recovered this photo that we're seeing in
State's Exhibit 16.3?
Yes.
I've spoken to, yeah.
I have spoken with, uh, um, and the SIAC analyst who particularly, in particular, found
this image.
I've spoken to her personally as well.
Was Mr. Twigg's shown what's been marked as State's Exhibit 16.3 during his second interview?
Yes, he was.
And again, you were present for that?
Yes, I was there.
Is Exhibit 16.3 a fair and accurate representation of the photo law enforcement obtained from
Mr. Twigg's phone, um, and that he was subsequently shown in the second interview?
Yes, it's fair and accurate.
Your Honor, the State would move to admit, uh, Exhibit 16.3 and then also publish pursuant
to court order.
Mr. Novak.
Just noting the objections that have previously been made and I think that the court's order
is that it may be published in the courtroom only.
Thank you.
Noting the standing objection by Defense, uh, 16.3, correct?
Correct.
Is admitted into evidence and may be published only in the courtroom and not be, uh, shown
or videoed?
Once again, they've cut the mics inside the courtroom to have a discussion about, we don't
know what, uh, they're planning on publishing that exhibit inside the courtroom, but not
beyond for now.
But we know what it is, at least in part.
It's the note that we were talking about just as we tossed back to the courtroom, that Tyler
Robinson left for Lance Twiggs underneath Tyler Robinson's keyboard in his bedroom at,
in the apartment that they shared on September 10th, 2022, sorry, 25, the day after Charlie
was killed.
Sorry.
The day Charlie was killed, Tyler had set the text message on his phone, the text messaging
function to deliver an automated message to Lance Twiggs that read, drop what you are
doing and look under my keyboard.
We know from the criminal information, even though they're not showing us what was under
the keyboard, that there was a note.
This is I'm reading directly from the criminal information.
The roommate looked under the keyboard and found a note that stated, quote, I had the
opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it and quote, police found
a photograph of this note.
You heard them talking about that in court just there.
They found that photograph on Lance Twiggs phone.
Thanks to this celebrate technology.
It was unclear to me whether that was still in his photographs as an easily retrievable
photo or whether he had deleted the photo and that's why they needed this technology
celebrate to find it.
Did not hear testimony about that.
And then the criminal information adds the following text exchange then took place.
And then you heard the long and back and forth on it.
Let's go back into the court.
How do you know that?
I've viewed the FBI's website and I recall seeing these images released on September
11th.
Does state's exhibit 16.4, is that a fair and accurate representation of what you reviewed
from the FBI and that the FBI released?
Yes, it is.
The state moves to admit exhibit 16.4 and publish according to court order.
Mr. Novak.
All right.
Noting the standing objection by defense overruling that objection.
State's exhibit 16.4 is admitted into evidence and may be published in the courtroom.
And again, in the discord, okay, once again, they argue and then they pop back up.
I guess they're arguing, I mean, just when they identify the exhibits, I guess they don't
want us to hear what they're identifying.
I'm guessing from what we heard at the tail end there, we know that 16.1 was, I believe,
text messages, 16.2 was the discord messages, 16.1, yes, 16.1 was the text messages.
You're joking, right?
And then we heard Tyler add, ****, I tried to delete that.
That's new.
That was not in the criminal information as something Tyler said.
But so he texted him, look under my keyboard.
He looked under the keyboard, then he responds to Tyler saying, and he reads, I had the opportunity
to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it.
Then he texts to Charlie, what?
With multiple question marks.
You're joking, right?
And what we now know is Robinson responded, ****, I tried to delete that.
Very interesting.
So I guess Tyler had sent this automated message.
It's kind of interesting.
And if Tyler's telling the truth that he tried to delete that text to Lance, then Tyler was
taken aback by Lance's text, which must have come out of the blue in a way to him at 10
p.m. that night saying, what?
You're joking, right?
And Tyler's first response was, f, I tried to delete that.
And then they were off to the races with Tyler.
There was a lot more in the actual text exchange than there was in the criminal information.
And we have the screen grabs from the actual texts, which we will go through.
I can't do that live on the air with you right now.
But you heard them.
A lot more details about why are they parked there?
The crickets are loud.
Does does anyone else know?
Not to my knowledge.
That was the first we heard all of those details.
And then Tyler telling Lance, delete this exchange.
Also so interesting, Diddy.
Again, I don't know if they got that text exchange off of Lance's text message records like we all have on our
phones or thanks to that crime bright technology that retreats it.
Here's one more showing.
Can you text it to me, Steve?
So I can see it up close.
I can't read the monitor from where I am.
So, yeah, unclear to me whether Tyler actually had I'm sorry, Lance had deleted all of this and they just recovered it or whether it was still on his phone.
Either way, the efforts to cover it up by delete this exchange did not work.
It's all there for the first time we're actually seeing the back and forth with like the text message.
Here it is reading here.
Seven p.m.
Does that still work for you?
Wait, hold on a second.
This is before the shooting, I guess.
I'm trying to read it on my phone.
I love you.
Mwah. Mwah.
I love you more.
So much, much so.
Mwah. Mwah.
They're doing the kissy sounds.
These are OK.
That's actually quite interesting.
This is the lead up to his automated text alerting Lance that he's killed Charlie.
And they talk.
So you get a feel a little bit for how these two talk.
This is earlier.
I can't tell the date, but it's it's prior to the murder a day.
I can see it's maybe the Sunday prior to the Wednesday murder.
Seven p.m.
Does that still that still work for you?
Yup.
I love you.
That's Monday.
It's blurry, but I think I can read that it's Monday at 115.
I love you.
Writes, I think, Tyler.
Yeah, Lance responds.
Love you, too.
Hope work's going well.
Then Wednesday.
Well, Wednesday, that was the day of the murder.
And it's four thirty three p.m.
Well, that's fascinating.
And Wednesday, four thirty three p.m., Tyler texts Lance.
Love you. Mwah. Mwah.
Like M.W.A.H.
typed out twice.
And and Tyler responds.
Sorry, Lance responds.
I love you.
More Z's.
Mwah, mwah, mwah.
I mean, OK, then that same day, Wednesday at 11 p.m.
comes in from Tyler.
Drop what you are doing.
Look under my keyboard.
And Lance responds.
What with the exclip with a question marks marks.
You're joking, right?
And then ****, I tried to delete that.
Very interesting.
And we're getting more.
But but truly the most interesting thing to me
that we've heard in all of this is that he went.
Tyler went back home on September 11th, the day after the murder
that Lance said.
I saw him when I woke up.
He was walking around the house.
I went home.
I went home and it was just Tyler there.
I said goodbye to him and I went back to my parents house.
The prosecutor is asking if he was acting erratically,
which which Lance had apparently signed on to and then said, yes,
he was pacing around a lot.
Lance said he didn't go into detail about what he had done,
but I asked him if what he said the night before was true.
And he said, yes, he cried and said he wished he hadn't done it.

In 2006, twenty thousand dollars equaled roughly
thirty three ounces of gold at spot price.
At today's prices, those 33 ounces would be worth about one hundred
and sixty five thousand dollars.
That's why many smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings
into precious metals.
