- Defence lawyers for Tyler Robinson, accused of murdering conservative activist Charlie Kirk, have requested a postponement of a preliminary hearing.
- The legal team claims it needs more time to investigate an inconclusive analysis by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
- The ATF report reportedly failed to establish a conclusive link between a bullet fragment recovered during the autopsy and the rifle found near the crime scene, with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) now conducting further tests.
- Prosecutors state DNA consistent with Robinson's was found on the rifle's trigger, though defence attorneys highlight that forensic reports indicate multiple people's DNA on some items.
- Robinson, who has not yet entered a plea, allegedly targeted Kirk due to 'hatred,' and prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty.
