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.
There is no standard lethal amount of fentanyl. Someone who is naive to the medication could die from a very minute amount, while someone with experience and tolerance could do far more.
there’s actually a measure, it’s called the LD50.
That takes no account of tolerance.
I understand that, and thats probably a good rule for those who are naive to the medication. Tolerance does change the lethal amount on an individual basis so its hard to make statements on what would be lethal for a specific person though.
LD50 is based on the adult population as a whole.
You could see how that might be misleading though, to say that George Floyd was over the LD50 for fentanyl?
That’s not unheard of since LD50 literally stands for Lethal Dose for 50% [of a group]. There will always be those that can survive the LD50 as well as those that succumb to doses under it.
Does an ld50 actually take into account the extreme ends or does it just not impact the result much?
It depends on the findings. Sometimes LD1 and LD99 are used if relevant. Look here for more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_lethal_dose
What about 220 grains of fent going 2400 fps into your neck?
Fent bullet incoming.
I don’t believe anyone here was saying there was.
You are correct though. It was obvious some conservatives wanted the execution, they just watched, to not be labeled an execution. “Self inflicted overdose” was a convenient excuse for them, so they ran with it.
They tried the same thing with Alex Peretti too. Disgusting behavior.
