Judge In Charlie Kirk Case Denies Key Request from Family

Jennifer Faumina, a sergeant with the Utah Department of Public Safety who was assigned to the State Bureau of Investigation at the time of the shooting, read portions of a DNA analysis from the witness stand.

According to Faumina, investigators identified male DNA belonging to Twiggs on two significant items recovered during the investigation.

“Male DNA was obtained from item 7-1. Item 7-1 was interpreted as originating from two individuals, one of whom is Twiggs,” Faumina testified.

She later added, “Male DNA was obtained from item eight sub one. Item eight sub one was interpreted as originating from two individuals, one of whom is Twiggs.”

Those items were identified in court as a screwdriver recovered from the rooftop of the Losee Center for Student Success and a towel that had been wrapped around the rifle allegedly used in the shooting.

Last week, the Utah Supreme Court cleared the way for Robinson’s preliminary hearing to proceed as scheduled.
