‘Bullet doesn’t match’: Bombshell claim from lawyers of Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer Tyler Robinson (www.news.com.au)

The bullet that killed conservative commentator Charlie Kirk did not match the rifle used by his alleged murderer, Tyler Robinson, according to an incredible new claim from his lawyers.

The 22-year-old Robinson is facing multiple charges, which are eligible for the death penalty, over Kirk’s murder at Utah Valley University late last year.

But his defence attorneys have argued that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (AFT) had been “unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr Robinson”.

What a misleading headline. The match was inconclusive which doesn't at all mean the bullet wasn't fired from the gun.

It means there wasn't enough detail on the fragment to say one way or the other.

taking a presumption of innocence into account, this would basicaly mean it doesn't match.
