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.

    I never said that. I said that round would have turned his neck into hamburger.

    That at that range it can shoot almost entirely through a half inch of steel plate. It will pulverize haunches of beef back to back, kill an elk or a grizzly bear.

    I think the guy I replied to or somebody further upstream what you quoted though.

        I actually just checked your comment, just got to it because I have a minute. Yes that is me and yes I stand by that statement. Do you have an actual point to make? Because it doesn’t seem like you do, you are grinding an ax but you don’t have an argument to make. Which suggests something something auto something.

          WTF? I wasn’t “making a point” I was “asking a question.” To which you reacted first with “why are you asking me about X? I never said anything about X?” and then when shown you said X you reacted with “RAAAAR THAT’S NOT ME RAAAAR!”

          And now you’re weirdly accusing me of “having an axe to grind?” Fuck you - I was just wondering if you’d see evidence outside this article on something. But at this point I realize you’re not worth even asking.

            You just repeated my comment back to me. I presumed you were attacking me. Obviously if the usernames are the same it’s the same person. You didn’t make a point, just asked if this was me, like some hexbear enforcer dickhead leveraging the tankies across lemmy here to punish someone.

            If you have a point to make, I will hear it and respond. I may have been a little presumptive on that reply honestly, but you didn’t raise a point, and this is an issue crawling with influence agents.

        Who is me, look at my fucking username and tell me if it’s me what the fuck are you asking? You want me to do the work? I’m busy.

          My dude - it’s the same user name. They both link to your account and both messages show in your history.
