Criminal defense attorney Josh Ritter appeared on ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ to discuss allegations of prosecutor misconduct in the Tyler Robinson death penalty case. The defense claims that the prosecutor’s comments to the media were improper. Additionally, Ritter commented on the backlash faced by the Metcalf family following the Karmelo Anthony verdict.
In a recent development, Lance Twiggs, the transgender roommate and romantic partner of Tyler Robinson, was granted limited immunity. According to a new court filing, Twiggs provided a recorded statement to authorities in April. Prosecutors granted him ‘use-immunity,’ meaning his statement from April 20 cannot be used against him. This is to be addressed in the July preliminary hearing. Prosecutors aim to use both Twiggs’ statement and his communications with Robinson at the time of Charlie Kirk’s killing.
The case details that Robinson appeared in the 4th District Court in Provo on February 3, 2026, related to the fatal shooting of Kirk. Twiggs’ recorded statement was given under oath, with an admonition about the legal consequences of false information. Prosecutors confirmed that the United States Attorney’s Office and the Utah County Attorney’s Office had granted the immunity.
