Who Testified — Hearing Witnesses
:::caution Legal Disclaimer Appearing on this roster means a person reportedly testified or was reported to be expected to testify. It is not an accusation. No one listed here is alleged by this site to have committed a crime, lied under oath, or acted improperly. Tyler Robinson is charged, not convicted, and every person named is presumed innocent. Rosters are assembled from press coverage and citizen-investigator clips, not certified transcripts, and may be incomplete or wrong. :::
Two very different groups of people are called "witnesses" in this case, and conflating them is the most common error in public commentary:
- Hearing witnesses — people who took the stand under oath in State v. Robinson, subject to cross-examination and perjury exposure. That is this page.
- Event witnesses — people who gave interviews about what they saw at UVU on September 10, 2025. Those accounts are not sworn and live in the Witnesses section.
An on-camera interview and sworn testimony carry completely different evidentiary weight. This page covers only the first kind.

The Most-Argued Witness
Chris Bagley draws the most scrutiny for a structural reason rather than anything he is accused of: he is the person who reportedly found the key physical evidence, and his body-worn camera reportedly stopped recording as he reached the roof — so the discovery exists in testimony only, with no video.
On her podcast, Candace Owens stated that other police officers contacted her program saying the sudden blackout is highly implausible. Those officers are unnamed and not sworn, and their claim has not been tested in court. Body cameras do fail; the device logs would answer this far better than anonymous opinion. Bagley is a witness, not a suspect, and has never been charged with anything.
The Cooperating-Witness Question
Lance Twiggs reportedly cooperated and received limited immunity. Commentators treat immunity as inherently suspicious. It is not — immunity is a routine prosecutorial tool used in a large share of criminal cases, and it exists precisely so witnesses can testify without self-incrimination. That DNA mixtures feature Twiggs on shared items is likewise ordinary for a person who lived with the accused. Nothing here alleges Twiggs committed any crime; he is not charged as the shooter, and speculation to the contrary is unproven.
Separately, a reported transport order for Jaxson Thomas Fox — an unrelated inmate — is documented as a process fact that some commentators frame as informant positioning. See Jaxson Fox — Informant Order. We make no claim that Fox or anyone else did anything wrong.
Open Questions
- Who was the second badge-carrier on the roof with Bagley, and did that person testify?
- Where are the body-cam device logs that would independently address the battery account?
- Does a non-activation report under Utah Code § 77-7a-104 exist for that day?
- Which witnesses expected at the preliminary hearing were not called, and why?
- Will certified transcripts be released, or does the public record stay limited to clips? See Gag Orders & Sealing.
Interesting In This Area
- Seven people testified live, and the defense called all three forensic experts.
- The most-scrutinised witness found the key evidence while his camera was not recording.
- Two accounts entered without their speakers present, through recorded interviews.
- Immunity is a routine tool, and appearing on this roster is not an accusation.
Interesting In Other Areas
- Event witnesses gave interviews, not sworn testimony — a completely different evidentiary weight.
- The rooftop officer is a witness, not a suspect, and has never been charged.
- Other officers reportedly called the camera blackout implausible on a podcast.
- The device logs would answer it better than any anonymous opinion.

Read thisMissing Bodycam & the GRAMA 'No Footage' Admission
Asked at a public-records hearing for body-camera video of the surrender, the county's answer was that a search found none. Utah law reportedly requires cameras rolling for a law-enforcement encounter, and a written report when they are not — so the demand became simple: produce the written reports.

Probable Cause Affidavit (Police Booking)
The police-side booking document that established the legal basis for the detention — and the first place the government commits to its theory of how Charlie Kirk was killed. The full PDF is on the page.
Read thisSworn testimony is where a press statement becomes something a defense lawyer can cross-examine. The structural problem this page keeps returning to is substitution: where video would normally document the rooftop, there is recollection months later instead. That is a documentation gap, and it makes testimony load-bearing.

The UVU officer reported to have reached the Losee Center roof first, and the State's first live witness at the preliminary hearing. What his body camera did and did not capture became a question of its own.

Officer's Body Camera Died on the Roof (Claims)
The first officer up to the Losee Center roof had a body camera that ran 27 minutes and 35 seconds and stopped as he arrived. Batteries do die; this one reportedly died before the gravel, the screwdriver and the alleged perch were ever filmed.

The body camera on the officer who reached the roof reportedly died there. The minutes it would have covered are the exact minutes everyone is arguing about.
