(UTAH) — Over objections from defense attorneys, a video was played in a Utah courtroom on Thursday in which the roommate of Tyler Robinson, the suspect charged in the 2025 killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, claimed Robinson confessed to the shooting.

Lance Twiggs, Robinson’s roommate and romantic partner, claimed in the highly redacted videotaped interview with prosecutors and detectives that Robinson told him in person that he killed Kirk.

“He didn’t go into detail. I just asked him in person what he said was true the night before, and he said it was,” Twiggs said in the video filmed in April 2026 at the Utah County Attorney’s Office. “He started crying a little bit and he said he wishes he hadn’t done it, and kept going around just doing stuff, I think to keep himself busy or distracted, or something.”

Young collectors open Sports Card Shop

By CNN
Click here for updates on this story    ST. JOSEPH, Missouri (KQTV) -- The sports card hobby has become a multibillion-dollar business, and a few young collectors have now opened their own card shop.Two brothers, Chase and Cade Frieden, and their friend, Kreightyn Johnson, started their own sports card business in St. Joseph called The Card Cave."You get into something as a kid, something you enjoy, and you have so much sitting at home that has value," Johnson said. "You kind of have fun with it, and you start small."The Card Cave opened in late July. The three are just getting started, but they've already learned a lot about what it takes to run a business."I feel like we've put our minds to it pretty hard and straight in the past couple of weeks to get it done," Johnson said. "It's growing really well."Besides buying and selling sports and trading cards, the three have learned more about marketing a business, taking inventory and balancing their budget."It takes a lot," Cade Frieden said. "Like comping the cards and seeing how their values go up and down."Just days into their new business, they've learned that some collectors are looking for unique cards."Sometimes people want things that you would never expect," Chase Frieden said. "Like old cards -- I feel like those would do way better than they do. But there are the older cards, and some are like a dollar now. They're less than the newer ones."The Card Cave is located downstairs in the Polished Porch Antique and Boutique Mall at 3603 Frederick Ave. in St. Joseph.Please note: This story was provided to CNN Wire by an affiliate and does not contain original CNN reporting.
