An analysis from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive (ATF) could not conclusively connect a bullet fragment recovered during Charlie Kirk’s autopsy to the rifle found near the scene of the rightwing political activist’s killing – and the FBI is running additional tests, lawyers for Kirk’s accused murderer said in recent court filings.
In the court filings, Tyler Robinson’s defense team also asked for a delay to a preliminary hearing scheduled in May, saying they need time to review the bullet analysis as well as an enormous amount of other material that could contribute to the suspect’s defense.
The ATF’s bullet analysis report has been kept private, but attorneys have cited snippets in other public filings that say the results were inconclusive.
The defense said in its motion that it may try to use the analysis to clear Robinson of blame during the preliminary hearing while prosecutors aim to show they have enough evidence against him to proceed with a trial.



Must have been a second shooter on the grassy knoll.
No, his neck just does that.
Acne pimples gone wild.
So much grief could have been avoided if we simply replaced grassy knolls with harmless architecture like book depositories and bell towers.
They really want it to not be a groyper who shot him huh lol.
That’s easy because there’s no evidence that he was a groyper.
More likely Israel.
What makes you think so? I don’t know about Charlie Kirk in such high detail besides the surface level human garbage stuff and that a lot of nazi podcast bros got caught taking Pooty rubles awhile back.
Honestly, this comedian covers so many more obsurd issues with this case than I could think of. Shoutout to some other Lemmizen who introduced me to this video about a month back in another post.
