What happened
Lance Twiggs — recorded interview (not live stand)
April-recorded video played: roommate/romantic partner. Alleged remorse ("wishes he hadn't done it"); claims he had not heard Robinson talk about Kirk specifically before the shooting; politics/Trump talk only in general. Twiggs' counsel publicly says he cooperated. Limited-immunity commentary exists on this site — cooperation is not proof of crime by Twiggs.
Texts and note (via Brian Davis / exhibits)
Alleged 09/10–09/11 thread: "look under my keyboard"; note claiming opportunity to "take out Charlie Kirk"; "you weren't the one who did it right????" / "I am, I'm sorry." Defense challenges authentication and publicity of confession materials.
Jennifer Faumuina (return)
Wooded-area rifle: one spent + three unfired engraved rounds; home Dremel and "TEST SHOT" casing; ATF toolmark links on casings/Dremel as reported.
Samantha Karner (ATF) — defense call
Bullet jacket fragment from autopsy cannot be identified or excluded as from the seized rifle — inconclusive for lack of microscopic marks. Central to ballistics defense theme.

Interesting
- A surrender reportedly as early as three p.m., with the footage request refused.
- Audio analysis finds two distinct events, not one shot, milliseconds apart.
- The only pathologist named under oath was never called to testify.
