New Facts: Robinson Expresses Regret to Roommate

Prosecutors in Provo, Utah played redacted police interview clips at a preliminary hearing that include Tyler Robinson’s roommate saying Robinson told him the day after the shooting that he wished he hadn’t done it.

Utah prosecutors also played a video of Robinson recorded after he turned himself in, according to ABC News. The interview clips involve a roommate who had been in a former romantic relationship with Robinson, as described in court.

Prosecutors and Robinson’s defense team have spent the week arguing over what evidence the judge will admit, and a session ended for the day Wednesday after those disputes. The court later heard the redacted statements from the roommate in open session.

Robinson, a college student, is accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University in September 2025.

Defense attorneys are disputing DNA evidence the state seeks to use to link Robinson to the shooting, while prosecutors say the evidence supports the charges.
