ATF Bullet Analysis Casts Doubt on Robinson's Guilt

It's March 31st.

I'm Cory with the story.

In the case against Tyler Robinson, accused of gunning down Charlie Kirk, back on September

10th, 2025, his defense team just dropped a bombshell filing.

They claim an ATF bullet analysis shows the fragment from Kirk's autopsy doesn't match

the rifle found near the scene.

Now they're pushing to delay the preliminary hearing, set for May 18th, by at least six

months to dig into this.

The paperwork hit the court last Friday, citing snippets from the still-private ATF report

that make the link inconclusive.

Defense hopes this could clear Robinson at the prelimb, shaking up the whole prosecution

narrative.

Prosecutors aren't backing down, pointing to DNA evidence tying Robinson to the killing

and insisting they have plenty to move forward to trial.

They're planning to call his parents, roommate, and romantic partner as witnesses, which

could get personal fast.

Meanwhile, the FBI is running fresh bullet tests, per-court docs, adding more layers to

the investigation.

With a hearing on April 17th, to decide if cameras stay out of the courtroom, the judges

call on media access could change how we all follow.
