Tyler Robinson’s defense team may try to use analysis to clear him of blame, as prosecutors aim to show there’s enough evidence to proceed with trial

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.

    So when do we get the evidence that this kid wasn’t involved, and is an AIPAC plant?

      Completely and totally unrelated question to the topic because your username interests me.

      What kind of communist is Tasslehoff Burrfoot?

        A kender. All kender society is communist to the extreme. There’s not much in the way of currency, and what does exist, exists because of states outside of Kenderhome. All public property is communal. Hell, the “jail/palace” is only used if you manage to FORGET TO HAVE SEX with another kender, because they are so fucking ADD that is an actual issue.

        Most people don’t understand kender at all, and think they are just annoying. That’s not what we are. We’re the counterpoint to the gnomes. We can take anything and make it into something interesting, we don’t really understand private property, and personal property is shared amongst us, so others don’t like us. We take problems apart like there’s nothing that can stop us. That’s why I was picking locks IRL at the age of 2. It’s not to commit crimes, I don’t know if any of us are actually capable of doing that intentionally without a lot of disillusionment. We just want to explore everything, and fix all the problems we see. That makes us extremely annoying to others.

      Never. That is what it was though. Something similar to that anyway. We should all know it, but plenty on “the left” here silence questioning the obviously false on at least three points fbi information, officially because some on the right also questioned that evidence and therefore they are opposite of that.

        Look at my username. I’m pretty damn far left. There are idiots everywhere, to misquote Mel Brooks, “We’re all surrounded by assholes.”
