"I just asked him in-person if what he said was true the night before," Twiggs replied, referencing text messages Robinson sent about the shooting.
Twiggs continued, "He said it was and started crying a little bit and wishes he hadn't done it," noting Robinson said he would "talk to his parents or turn himself over."
