Prosecutors in the US state of Utah on Thursday presented critical evidence in the case of the suspected murderer of high-profile conservative youth leader Charlie Kirk. Prosecutors played parts of an interview with the suspect's roommate, Lance Twiggs.
Kirk was shot in the neck last year in front of a large crowd of students who came to hear him speak at Utah Valley University.
A close ally of President Donald Trump, Kirk has been credited with motivating young voters to turn out for him in the 2024 US presidential election.
Tyler R. faces seven criminal charges, including aggravated murder. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
The suspect has not entered a plea in the case.
