A note from the alleged Charlie Kirk assassin was revealed in court on Thursday outlining an alleged confession amid other evidence tied to the accused killer.

Tyler Robinson, 23, allegedly wrote a letter to his roommate and romantic partner that read “Luna, If you are reading this per my text, then I am so sorry. I left the house this morning on a mission and sent an auto-text. I’m likely dead or facing a lengthy prison sentence.”

Prosecutors say Robinson wrote the letter to Lance Twiggs, who was previously known as Luna.

Later portions of the letter read, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I took it.”

“I wish we could have lived in a world where this was not necessary,” the screenshot of the handwritten note shown in court continues.

It ends by stating, “Please try and find joy in this life. I love you always, Tyler.”

Robinson’s high profile case has drawn widespread media attention after clips of Kirk being shot in the neck while speaking on the campus of Utah Valley University went viral last year.

Erika Kirk, now a widowed single mom of two, appeared in the courtroom on Thursday to listen to evidence being presented alongside her personal attorney and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah).

Her presence followed a Wednesday filing where she demanded that every single exhibit entered into evidence be visible to everyone present in the courtroom.

Erika’s attorney, Jeffrey Neiman, cited a Utah law that protects crime victims and their representatives, arguing that the family was “denied the very thing their presence was meant to secure: the ability to meaningfully observe.”

The family had traveled to Provo, Utah, and sat through parts of the hearing where evidence was admitted but hidden from their view.

Following the request, District Judge Tony Graf ruled against the motion.

The court decided to maintain its current process of evaluating how evidence is displayed as the trial proceeds.

Judge Graf previously said the court is walking a “fine line” between balancing public transparency and Robinson’s constitutional right to a fair trial.

Prosecutors are banking on evidence from the crime scene and testimonies to convict Robinson of seven charges, including aggravated murder — as prosecutors allege he intentionally targeted Kirk due to his political beliefs — felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, two counts of obstruction of justice for allegedly hiding the rifle and clothing used in the shooting, in addition to two counts of witness tampering for pressuring his roommate to delete incriminating text messages and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child.

Twiggs also previously told law enforcement the 23-year-old charged with killing Kirk said “he wishes he hadn’t done it” a day after the on campus shooting.

Prosecutors also say Robinson posted “it was me at UVU yesterday,” in a Discord chat room.

His DNA was also found on the bolt-action rifle used in Kirk’s killing, although Robinson’s defense attorneys attempted to cast doubt on the FBI analytical findings during a Tuesday hearing.
