The transgender lover of Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin has been given limited immunity ahead of the trial, a new court filing has revealed.
Lane Twiggs, Tyler Robinson's roommate and romantic partner, was granted 'use-immunity' for a statement he gave to officials on April 20, according to a filing on Tuesday that was reviewed by Fox News.
Prosecutors plan to use the 22-year-old's recorded statement, as well as his communications with Robinson around the time of Kirk's murder, at the July preliminary hearing, the outlet reported.
The legal protection means that the statement Twiggs made to authorities following Kirk's death 'could not be used against him,' prosecutors said in the filing.
Kirk, 31, was fatally shot on September 10 while speaking at a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) event at Utah Valley University.
Robinson, 22, turned himself into authorities the following day after his parents recognized his picture in the news and persuaded him to peacefully surrender.
The FBI soon uncovered that Robinson had sent a flurry of text messages to Twiggs during his 33 hours on the run, disclosing his alleged involvement in the shooting and his efforts to evade capture.
Twiggs, who has never been charged or implicated in the shooting, did not tip off authorities at the time, but did agree to cooperate when they sought him out in the wake of his roommates arrest.
