Evidence drawn from this source

Undermines· strongKRK-E054

The screwdriver evidence was presented in full at the preliminary hearing

what the source states
July 2026 hearing coverage: "Faumuina testified that her team recovered a screwdriver from the campus' Losee Center rooftop... Faumuina testified that both the towel and the screwdriver had DNA consistent with the same two males — Robinson and Twiggs." FBI analyst testimony: "Robinson's DNA was found on a screwdriver recovered from the rooftop... DNA of Robinson's former roommate and lover Lance Twiggs was also found on both items, but Bakker said his sample was used as an elimination sample. Twiggs isn't accused or charged of any crime."
what we infer
The "quietly abandoned" reading fails: the evidence was presented under oath ten months after the announcement. What remains true is that early televised statements and formal filings did not reconcile — a statement-ledger entry (KRK-R010), not a vanishing act.
