DNA samples believed to match Tyler Robinson and his trans lover Lance Twiggs were found two key pieces of evidence linked to\u00a0Charlie Kirk\u2019s assassination,<\/a>\u00a0forensics experts testified Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The samples were taken from a towel Robinson allegedly used to hide a rifle near the Utah Valley University campus and a screwdriver found on the roof near the spot where authorities claim\u00a0the 23-year-old shot Kirk<\/a>\u00a0as he debated students at the college.<\/p>\n

Two experts, one from the state of Utah and another from the FBI, confirmed the lab report in a Provo courtroom during\u00a0the second day of a hearing<\/a>\u00a0to determine if Robinson will stand trial.<\/p>\n

Two samples of male DNA seemed to match both Robinson and Twiggs, 22, with a high degree of probability, according to the results.<\/p>\n

Robinson\u2019s defense grilled Amanda Bakker, an FBI DNA examiner, on the accuracy of the tests and the degradation of the samples.<\/p>\n

Twiggs \u2014 who has not been accused of any wrongdoing \u2014 was Robinson\u2019s roommate and lover in the town of St. George, located about three hours from Utah Valley University.<\/p>\n
